Okay 30k to spend, you can't spend it all on 1 car, what you going to buy or add to what you've got?

Me - Early E55 Supercharged estate 12k
Mint late RX7 Twin Turbo 8k
VX 220 Turbo - for track days 10k

Lexus LS430 - family car / barge sorted. 4k
Any cheap scooter 1k
500bhp Subaru Impreza 10k

Leaves you with another 15k for hookers and blow.

Not interested in a derv, about the only thing left might be a convertible. Pick up a cheap MX5 and drive it into the ground, while keeping the balance of cash on hand for "incidentals".

Is a CSL really that much better than a standard E46 M3 though?

.
I think the magazines think it is, I've driven neither so can't comment. I think the E46 M3 is a cracking car if you want a high performance daily driver but the CSL is 20% more focused and to take an E46 up to that spec will cost you a shed load. The carbon fibre roof idea is the nuts and those wheels are gorgeous. And if you spend 25k on one you'll lose less in depreciation than spending 12k on a regular one - if you lose at all. Its all in the details and the CSL has so many great ones . Shame about the gearbox though

Actually the Megane R26 or new shape 250 is a really good shout.

If was blowing it all on one would try and find a 996 911 Turbo or a Nissan GTR - need to get a black one of those to go with my black R32.
