I sold my e46 m3 to get myself back into a cossie, got bored of the m3 very quickly even though they are fast etc, just can't beat the sound of a cossie

The sound of a high revving n/a straight 6 vs a 4 cylinder turbo??

1-0 to the Germans IMO.

But a simple bolt on turbo kit from HPF in the states will see him near 600 reliable bhp

M3's love a turbo conversion

I could go and buy an e46 M3 CS right now and would love one, but in Plymouth they have a drug dealer image so no thanks.

Will probably get myself a facelift M3 non CS when I move house.

......i am actually quite impressed by her M3 convertible....sounds abit raspy and not really all that fast but the handling is very very good for a convertible and the smg is very nice too. Very very harsh though she finds it...feel every bump lol

If I could afford both I would have kept the m3 as well and just used the sierra for shows and the odd blast.

That's cos they've all been weighed in for scrap

Even up here at manor there aren't any

Prices are on the up..... 9 months ago you'd get a 65k car with FBMWSH for £23k, now you'll be paying £28k. As it stands there are more buyers than cars available (approx. 250 RHD cars left on the road out of the 422 that left Munich)
