Due to lack of trackdays available Rob(he owns the silver M3 pictured) and myself decided to take it upon ourselves to organise one for the bmw-driver.net forum and invite along our friends from Octane.ie along as well.

Bloody cold day but coffee and sambos from our gracious hosts Couture Autos helped. Big thanks to Nick and lovely lady upstairs boiling the kettle.

Nice turn out with E46 M3s being the majority again. Only was there for 5 cars, Niall’s(Cyrus) E46 M3, Rob’s(smokeymurphy) E46 M3, my E46 M3, Brian’s(murphybrian) supercharged E46 M3 and Barry’s(autotrader) E36 M3.

Here are the pictures of the runs… some were happy, others were left giving excuses.

Just a little addition, or big however you see it. The BBS RS-GT rims have made a huge difference with the look on the M3 and the Carbon Fibre infused CSL diffuser more subtle. Tyres on the rims are a 245 front & 275 rear, quite a lot wider than the 225 & 255 on the standard 19″ rims.
