Is there an alternative to an M3?
Discussion
M5 - Interesting but I prefer the smaller M3.
Jag S type R - Do they do it in a manual?
Audi S4 - Audis seem a bit run of the mill.
Volvo S60R - as do Volvos.
Cerbera - I like the idea of all that noise and peformance, but I thing they look a bit streched and my previous TVR experience was a bit of a disaster.

If you want 4 proper seats, a big boot and a fast car for about £25k, M3 E46 is about as good as you'll get. Get it onto track, take the granny button off and it's a real hoot.
Just remember, it's hopeless if you live in a town, as nobody will ever let you in, and every chav with big speakers will try and burn you up at lights.
My tip... buy the E46 and move to a quiet bit of the country.

GetCarter said:I've had threee M3s in London and never had trouble with being let out of junctions. I let others out and others let me out. I really don't attract this kind of aggression. The bit about chavs is correct, but the best way to deal with them is to drive in granny mode, I find. It confuses them that a fast car isn't being used to burn up and down city streets.

I'll second this, there really is no alternative. Although you could have an absolute mint R34 skyline for the same money but it's a bit of a different proposition.
Any Skoda, at least it isn't a BMW.
Seriously Jag S type R. The world's best sports saloon. Better made than a beemer. Far more comfortable. Infinitely superior cabin. The more powerful Germans cannot really use their extra power because they are sprung too hard for British roads.
M3 is bad for you image as a human being. Just don't go there.
