Jay · 5th October 2006, 22:44

Pics taken at 2am from phone cam hence bad quality, went back at 7am to get better pics, but by then the cars had gone.

Porsche 911 ???

isnt this a 3 series with M3 badging ???

Sahil · 5th October 2006, 22:53

Nice find Jay. Yes that is a regular 3 series coupe with some good accessories to make it look like a M3...seems like a used import,dont see why someone would import this when the new versions out already.
Is the porsche a GT3?

BEEM3R · 5th October 2006, 23:53

No the 911 isnt a GT3. Its a 997 Carrera S with an optional spoiler. I've seen those M5 style rims on a Z3 here in Chennai like on that 3 coupe.

iraghava · 6th October 2006, 00:38

Seems like a normal 3-series coupe with flashy rims & a 911 Carrera S with optional GT-3 wing.

Gordon · 6th October 2006, 11:56

Nice pics, good find....very few 911's. And thats a normal 3 Series. And he's put M3 wheels and badges on it. Nice condition.

To understand the difference, perhaps this will be of use:

Hey Gordon i've read your above thread hence was able to tell it was a 3 series, else as soon as i saw it, i thought it was an M3...

Both the cars were in good condition and the Porsche was a stunner...

Im not too sure as to where to post this, but i spotted the 2006 M3 the other night. Here is the pic. Not very clear though.

gemballa · 9th October 2006, 19:50

its not a m3 its an m5

Nikhilb2008 · 9th October 2006, 20:28

yup....the high boot line gives it away....

I am not too sure abt it being an M5 though.... I think it is a regular 5 Series...

probably the only hint of it being an M5 is the dual exhausts

Gordon · 9th October 2006, 21:55

Undoubtedly M5.
Quad exhausts and rear bumper are M5 type.

X-Machine · 10th October 2006, 01:17

This guy was ripping the car like there's no tommorow. Ive gotta love his license plate. 69!!

Maverick5490 · 1st November 2006, 18:11

That is one of the latest M5 in Mumbai.. a direct import..

ajmat · 1st November 2006, 18:48

looks like that Porsche belongs is the tractor of the humble farmer's grandson

HOTROD · 1st November 2006, 19:02
