Default Help needed!

I currently own a 1993 4x4 sapphire but have recently been thinking about selling it for an M3!!
I have been thinking this as I only ever use the cossie once a week & am thinking if I get an M3 then I can use it everday, although I took the cossie out yesterday as the weather was nice & it had just been polished etc & this made me think do I really want to sell it!!!

I need you guys to help me & persuade me to keep the cossie

Thanks

a cossie has soul! m3's are a bit boring lets face it....the E36 shape is a bit fat and wallowy

I always used to fancy an E30 shape M3 - if its one of those you want fair enough, as it has great motorsport history like the RS - but the cossie is quicker....

Use the cossie more often far more fun than an m3.

I mean, the M3 is probably a better car. Better built, engineered, it'll always start, won't go wrong but its german...and german cars are boring! Remember John Major on Spitting Image? Thats the kinda person who buys german!

They ain't all that! The only M3's worthy of the badge are the E30 and the E46....

Keep the Cossie and be an individual. Ok they're not bird pullers, but they sure turn a lot of heads! Guys mostly, but you might like that....

Definatly not my thing mate! I can see your point. As I look outside & see it sitting in the gleaming sun it looks awesome, I dont think I could ever look at an e36 m3 & think it looks like that! Also there's too many m3 replica's on the road which are mainly 318's & 320's etc etc etc. Im even persuading myself now! You guys have done a good job,

Thanks for not allowing me to make the wrong decision guys.
