M3 - 3.0 or 3.2 ??

[redgriff500]

Hi,

I am looking for an M3 to use as a second car and have read various articles which contradict each other.

So which one is best and why ?

Is the Vanos something that WILL go wrong ?

I have found decent 3.0 at £5 - 6,000 and 3.2 £7,000+

Thanks

Thanks for the replies.

After searching this forum I found several good BMW sites and most seem to say that there isn't any real difference between the 2 models except for the 6 speed box which is notchy and that the vanos on the 3.0 doesn't go wrong...

Also that the Evo is a more sanitised drive.

I must admit I prefer the Estoril blue (Evo only) and would rather get the 'best' model and am fairly sure that the Vanos issue has been overstated in general... probably only affects 10% ?

Comments ?

Thanks for the replies...

I'll go and look at a few.

Sorry won't consider the GT as it was only in green IIRC and my 328 is green...

and I hate the colour !
