I'd say it went for feck all Dave, what with the tax and missing out on the "image" of the S3
Saying that, I contemplated buying one of those 3.2s when over in England a few years ago, but ended up getting my 325ti instead. Down on power, but the E46 just seemed more exciting
Those 8L S3s are still a top quality product IMO
RE: Worst most embarrassing car you've owned
1987 1.2 Opel kadett 3 door touring, when i was a first year apprentice I was stuck for a car for work and bought it off my cousin for £500.
What's the point of a 3 door touring,dam think gave me nothing but problems.
Worst most embarrassing car you've owned
Jeez, this is a tough one cos I've had a few right clunkers!!
1984 Opel Corsa; heater fan never worked so if it was damp out, it was all foggy in. Radio never worked either..+ it stank!
1991 Renault Clio, only started when it felt like it.
^^ good job there was no NCT in them days.
1995 Toyota Celica ST202.. What a shit-box!! Spent most of the time I had it trying to get it through the NCT to make it road legal so I could start a proper restoration on it. Kept failing on emissions, even after forking out over 1k on a new cat, still failed so I gave up and sold it on; full disclosure.
Then bought the E46 which went well for a while till about 6 months into ownership the engine decided to shit itself. A bit of Internet searching led me to discover the world of motoring forums.....
And the rest is history.

What Audis did you have Jay? An '89 80 1.8S for 3 weeks was as far as I ever got. Quite liked it though for the styling and build quality

What's a full boot build? Have to say this whole scene sort of passed me by (probably because I was too busy crashing Audi 80s! ;))
