Any good? Are they simply a 4 door M3 or are they a softened version for the family guy?

How are they in the depreciation stakes?

Many thanks in advance

Great Car had mine for 18months . 4 doors make it practical for the kids .
Try & get one with the paddle gear box & the electronic suspension.
You then get the best of both worlds.
One of the best cars i have owned

got mine in march - manual - have done nearly 10k in it since i bought it - was intention when i got it to just use on longer biz trips and at the weekend - but its just such a good dual purpose vehicle that i use it all the time. i think they are absolute bargains for the blend of real world practicality and performance. i bought a clio diesel for the price of a set of tyres on the m3 to use as a daily rural commute hack on crap local roads - but to be honest the m3 cockpit is such a comfortable place to be - that untill the weather turns really miserable i find am not using the clio at all!

A current bargain IMO. £25K for a mint AUC car is a no brainer. I've had both variants and personally got irritated with winding the front seat forwards to get anything meaningful (like a young child) in the back of the coupe. The saloons are a lot rarer aswell. Here is my write up from a while back.... nothings changed, its a blast every drive and I love the manual box.

I had one ( manual ) and really enjoyed it. It was good having the extra doors etc but I chiefly liked it for the looks and comparative rarity.

As they all say, you pay your money you take your choice. One thing is for sure, they seem a real bargain at the moment - not sure why, but you get a great motor for the money.

I prefer the look of the 4 door over the coupe.
