What follows an E46 M3?
Discussion
A z4m? That always struck me as not enough of a change to justify?
So anyone actually gone to a 911 or cayman s or e90 or v8 vantage or maybe even r8 or rs4/6?
Have to say have always fancied a 911 but the ones ive tested have been no more bang for a lot more buck.
M5 and M6 V10 variant also?
Took mine for a blast yesterday. crikey the csl box sounds awesome. even got a thumbs up from an onlooker. Im sure its quicker now its clean too. Doing the double glance again as walk away. so sad haha.

I spent ages saving for a replacement to my M3.
So far I've driven a C63 and XKR and the C63 would tick the box but the tank range is woeful and I'd be filling up twice a week.
I really don't know where to go, XFR, Comp pack E92, 997 PDK? or something classic to run alongside, 993, Alfa GT?
Stumped.
Non of them are a hands down, gotta change to this, so far then?So far I've driven a C63 and XKR and the C63 would tick the box but the tank range is woeful and I'd be filling up twice a week.

Yup, that's the tricky one. I'd drive away in a C63 right now but to spend all my savings and put up with worse fuel economy/range seems like madness. XKR is very very quick but felt disconnected in comparison to the M3.
An extra £20k for another M3 that some say isn't as good as the E46? I'd need another 10k to start looking at PDK 911s which seem like a logical upgrade from an SMG car.
Now I'm looking at leases which I'd sworn never to do. M135i for 300/month all in at the end of last year, how much for M235i/M4 at the end of this/next year?. Or a 99/month Skoda Citigo and carry on saving for something special for the weekends.
It's all madness.
thank god there is another crazy person out there like me. An extra £20k for another M3 that some say isn't as good as the E46? I'd need another 10k to start looking at PDK 911s which seem like a logical upgrade from an SMG car.

Why didnt bmw put the bloody v10 into something sporty instead of that abortion of a 6 series. On paper the m6 has it (on a paper without pictures i mean).

on paper the slk 55 amg sounds good, well in budget too at 16k. however reviews say the tcs and gearbox make it s
t on the twisties. I want something to hoon through the alps in, as well as get me there in style.
A cayman S sounds good if it had 360 bhp. That however is called a 911 which adds another 8k onto the price.

You can have 911 turbo beating performance with a charged e46 for less + a better look imo. And you can fit a mountain bike in the back ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
I have the e36 3.2 evo for trackdays and its wicked![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
I have always wanted a 911 tbh. But the cost, reliability, 996 looks, reported lack of reliability always keeps me with the m.
When 997 911 gen ii PDK's come into the 20's i might though.
