jonnysideways Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Nice M3 Manta Doc, shame its obscured by a rather nice looking 328I Coupe in Calypso red with Cruise control and a Limited Slip Differential, but good effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Abbott Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 BMWs are much better than old Mantas but you can't weld a BM and we know you love to weld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Saturday 12th Lost the faith, good night Thats , fine just drop the manta off at the front of the house with a note saying F.A.O Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnysideways Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Its just a vectra replacement untill the manty gets a mot, im sure hell not be moving it on, he just loves to jest. BMWs are much better than old Mantas but you can't weld a BM and we know you love to weld He could have fun welding the Alpina Wide Arch Kit on to it, that would be fun and a challenge too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnysideways Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Must say, loved, loved, Loved my 5 mantas, and if I had'nt got stiffed when I was upgrading from my Dolpin grey exclusive coupe to a i240 back in the day, I still whould have had a manta (yes Manatdoc I would have), but such is life I bought a BMW 325I, and 15 E36 Later never looked back. They, like a manta, have a good sized bonnet, good lumps under the bonnet, RWD, and more modern gadgets, and less rust (still have some, but usually not terminal) Still love the flared arches of the Manty with a road sport kit mind Edited December 16, 2009 by jonnysideways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith1200 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Very nice future classic Is it inline or V6? Generally 'bmw wise' the rear panel likes to rott from the inside out, common with the 5 series also. Still 1000 times better than an similar age vauxhall-etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
