e46 m3 or 650i
Discussion
After owning my e46 m3 convertible for 6 months now I am looking at moving on to something different and was looking at a 650i convertible. Has anyone gone from an m3 to a 650i? In particular what is practility and driveabilty like compared to an m3? Also does the engine sound as amazing as the m3 with roof down?
The 650i is a much larger car, so it will not b as responsive. Build quiality is better as is the ride. However running costs are in a different league, as will be fuel and other consumables, plus insurance. More a serious cruiser than an out and ot GT / sportscar...but with the roof down and with the right exhaust an engine that just sings. Buy well and you will enjoy the ride, buy poorly and get ready to lose serious money.
On the six series get a decent exhaust....better for long distance dashes than whizzing around the lanes. A better looking car too, more stylish and sophisticated. Not so great on track but beautifully built. A CSL would be my choice of cars but is not one to enjoy everyday if only owning one car.
the 650i is really nice and does sound good but it just doesnt have that M badge on it and it wont handle as well. But my mum steped out of an M3 into a 645i convertible and she is into driving and said it is the best car she's had.
with the sound the its up to you!!! V8 rumble or straight six scream.
