Has anyone gone from an E92 M3 or somthing similar to a Lotus Exige S? My mileage has dropped significantly from 12k a year to more like 2k a year due to having to comute 3 times a week on a train so all my M3 gets used for is a 3 mile run to my local office and back a couple of times a week plus the odd fun drive. At the weekend we now use my g/f car to cart around the kids, shopping etc. So I am starting to think I would like something a bit more special than the M3 and am thinking the Exige S ticks the box. I would like to start doing 3/4 track days a year in my own car and the Exige would be ideal for this (me and a friend hire a caterham a couple of times a year at the moment). Should I be considering anything else? What would the exige be like on a long run? Whats the exige likely to cost on tyres/brakes if used on trackdays?

Still undecided at the moment. Been offered a cracking deal on a new exige s and had a test drive the other day of which blew me away. Don't think torque will be an issue as the new one has bundles in every gear! And to make it even more tempting they would take my M and I don't pay anything for two years shoot

Personally I am not a fan of the evora. It's either stick with my frozen edition m3 or a new exige.

Evora could tick both boxes?
