Are E46 M3's fun?
Discussion
After having the S2000 for 2 years (longest I've ever had a car!) I think I'm starting to now get bored apart from the VTEC!!!!
However I'm a little stuck on what to get with only a £10K budget, i really want a 911, but i think i need £15K for a decent one.
Would also love a TVR, but again £15K starting, so maybe something cheaper for a year or so.
Ive had a E46 318ci, and 328ci, which TBH i found rather dull and boring and did not last long.
However I've always had that little itch for a E46 M3 convertible.......
So are the M3's a world of difference to the standard 3er, or just a faster 3 series?
I know they are relitivly fast in a straight line and sound good, but are they "fun" in the corners like the S2000?
Will an early E46 depreciate much more?
It won't be a daily, only for fun at the weekends. I also live near wales where there are some very fun empty roads (monmouth-abergavenny
)
Anyone with any experience advise?
Cheers

Thanks guys, having read all your advice im thinking the M3 is not for me as a second vehicle.
Ive also done some measuring and the M3 is slightly too long to fit in my garage (along with everything else).
So time for a re-think.
I might keep the s2000 for a while and expand my budget for either a TVR Chimeara 450/500, Elise or perhaps maybe a VX220 Turbo?
My worry about the Elise is they are so low on power! (But i guess the lack of weight could make up?)
Knowing my luck the S2000 values will start plumering now!!
