i live in Ireland,and the yearly road tax for an m3 is 1560 euro a year,its crazy.but if i lived in uk i would definately buy one. they are great cars that do hold their values as they get older,great power 320bhp,and lots of torque. yeah they are hard on petrol average 25 to the gallon,but the fun factor is amazing,check out the insurance though first, if u can afford insurance and the extra fuel,at that price,GRAP IT FAST!!!!!!
