You Can Buy The Terrible M3 Richard Hammond Drove On Top Gear
You Can Buy The Terrible M3 Richard Hammond Drove On Top Gear-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:41

At this point no one really knows what the , and it seems Clarkson, Hammond, and May have moved on to and will not return. For you Jalops living in the UK, here is your chance to own the Hamster’s E36 M3 that he pushed to the limits of fuel economy across Germany.

According to, this 1996 M3 was used in Top Gear Series 15 Episode 2 and was featured in a fuel economy challenge where the hosts had to get across Germany in various sport sedans without running out of fuel. In the episode both Hammond and the Stig put the car through its paces. The M3 has 79,235 miles and is estimated to sell between £7,500 - £10,500 (aprox. $12,000 - $16,000 USD).

Sixteen grand is a lot of quid to throw down on a nineteen year old BMW, especially since Top Gear challenges are not known to be gentle on cars. Maybe some of the Stig’s mojo will rub off on the next buyer and make them the greatest driver in the world!

I Ordered A Carbon-Fiber Roof For My Porsche 996 Turbo And I Might Throw Up A Little
I bought maybe the cheapest Porsche 996 Turbo—that’s right, —on the market a year ago, and I’ve mostly been happily stacking miles on the odometer since then. I have been working on making the car my own with a period-correct set of wheels, some extra carbon trim, and a...
