Heresy! Its an M3, its actually a nice car unlike most front wheel drive hatchbacks.

Perhaps he had an issue with a bottle of nitrous oxide...?

Have you NEVER seen The Fast and The Furious?! Everyone knows NOS explodes, shoots the car up in air ten feet keeping it perfectly flat and a massive blue flame speads outwards on the tarmac Laughing

Oh and some of you lot saying cock, chav etc are jealous that he's got/had an M3. They're nice cars and there isn't a lot chavvy about them. Pics are cool as f**k Graham Thumbs Up

Clearly the M3 couldn't handle the shame of being sat on the seafront at Southend, surrounded by scum. So it did the only honourable thing and took its own life.

Of course, being German, it had to overreact just a little bit. I bet there was a Skoda nearby with smoke damage.

He is going to have real trouble claiming that back from the insurance, you can bet he hasnt got any of those mods declared, and also the fire is probably due to a mod of his going wrong due to bad workmanship on his part.

its a shame, they are really nice cars too.

What mods are you on about Wave? So far as I can tell looks like a standard M3?

Ohhhhh.

Someone said it was NOS and I didn't really bother to check Embarassed

In that case I can't see any mods either.

its looks lowered, and probably has a poorly installed sound system, a mod doesnt always have to be visual and external you know.

the fire is comming from the back of the car, which points toward it being an electrical fire.

They said it was a 500lb bottle of NOS to be precise Smile ... if they could manage to fit the same weight as a Honda Blackbird into a bottle that big it'd probably be being used for some kind of naval ammunition Razz.

Wave
The fr:ont doesn't look too much lower than standard; the rear might have been stuff collapisng with the fire? Not sure how such things would work.
The insurance company would have a hard time not paying out unless the fire was caused by the mods; of course they wouldn't pay out for any extra mods. As you say, fire from the rear does suggest it may have been from this.

Too bad it wasn't any use. I'd be suprised if you could put out any sort of fire with that tiny thing.
