Seriously though you've given us no information so that's all I can tell you.
curious what drove you to sell the M3?Hi All
Recently sold my F80 M3 and looking at options. Keen on the Golf R and found one with a fair bit of aftermarket work on it. Looking for advice on things to look out for? Much appreciated.
my bad! some of the mods below;
Aftermarket list:
Mode Downpipe
Mode Intake Duct
Mode Intake kit
Mode Intake Elbow
Mode Stage 2 ECU Tune Mode
TCU/DSG Tune
Mode Wheel Spacers
Mode Paddle Shifters
H&R Sway Bar Front/Rear
AWE Switchpath Valve Control Remote
Eibach Lowering Springs (went for the comfiest option)
I would definitely check for coolant leaks and if MT, would do a 4th gear slip test.
Otherwise typical inspection.. like making sure the hood latch is sound for starters.

I'm looking to do the opposite in the near future lol.
Well, GTI to F80. But an R is also in the equation.
Why'd you get rid of it?
Second-hand market over here in Aust is going crazy, so took the opportunity to sell it for a good price. I was planning to sell it next year anyway. I do miss it though!! Had a GTI about 5 yrs ago and always enjoyed driving it, hence the return.curious what drove you to sell the M3?
I don't think I want to trade my R for one, but my wife and I want to get something in the M3 / RS5 Sportback (no RS4 here), or even the M340i or S4/5 Sportback range. Maybe more so the latter for her commutes and road trips. The catch is my wife really would prefer an EV, so there is only one option that fits the range we need to visit her family.
That makes sense. We have the same problem here. Even the R's are holding their value quite well because of the same issue.Second-hand market over here in Aust is going crazy, so took the opportunity to sell it for a good price.
