BMW E36 / E46 / F80 M3 & F82 M4 in Bombay

SRK · 9th June 2010, 17:08

A blue soft-top one has been parked opposite Bandra Police station for quite some days.
Any mishaps recorded with any M3s?

By the way the car has been de-badged (probably stolen).

Have a feeling this is a bank finance reposessed car

that blue Convertible might be UPEN Patel The actor's . it was in newspaper that his Bmw is in police impound . he supposedly was hiding it so it is not repossessed . news was in Delhi times few days ago .

Yes, I think you may be right. It was also in the Mumbai Mirror.

Yes thats the same car I saw.
Umm just asking would it possible for someone else to buy that car now? What would be the cost for it?

Spotted near Lilavati today. Red leather interior, stick shift.

I wish they still made these.

That's a beautiful M3! Nice pics! Seems like you had a good day today spotting two R8s and then this M3

Karthik-zza · 4th August 2010, 21:08

The M3 is just exquisite. Brilliant pics, FS!

FlyingSpur · 4th August 2010, 21:11

Thanks, all. BTW there is also a (blue?) E46 cabrio outside Bandra Station gathering dust. Impounded, maybe? Or been in an incident. I think it's the MH12.

Edit : Just caught up with the last few posts preceding this one.

@ ragingbull : I've also posted the S500 in another thread, and I also saw about 15 W221's in the span of half an hour (in which these cars I've clicked were spotted). Not kidding. There was just something about today.

Nope. The windows were reflecting the evening sky wayyyyyy too much. Typically I would have taken atleast one shot.

A bomb scare that too in a BMW. That's not at all a discreet car.
