I know what you mean, my best mate just bought a MINTER THAN MINT E46 M3 and we were out in it last night, the thing is rapid and i REALLY like it, but it doesn't give you the same feeling as the cossie, which is probably me being a retard as it's a modern nice car, BUT the boost of a good cossie is great, even though it drives like a bucket of shit in comparison. He did go mental with it and get it totally sideways, i cannot take away it's an awesome car but not my preference for a "fun" car though if you get my meaning?
