Dear beards.

15K or so to spend.

Was all set for an E46 M3 but now the E92 has popped onto my radar.

The V8 appeals but the car seems too new and usable to be tucked away.

Depreciation on the later car will also presumably be worse.

Maybe something else entirely? Done 996 and not really got the budget for a 7. Wouldn't touch pork without a Hartech engine so choice is limited.

Occasional use for mincing, Fast road and attempting sub 8. Ideally 4 seats but not essential.

Ta!
Can you stretch to 19 grand?

Does it come with a free bag?

One you can put over your head in case you see anyone you know while you’re driving it.

Starts off asking about E46 vs E92, gets steered towards a Stormtrooper's wet wk.

Came across this beauty sat in the window of Sytner Nottingham.

Absolute cream puff, not a mark on it. 35k miles

Wow.

One presumes it has spent most of its life in a collection to be in such an amazing state.

I would have to be very rich and have a stload of cars to have a hope in hell of preserving a car like that!

Wouldn't that be so much better with 135k miles on it and many, many more fabulous memories for its owners over the years... rather than hidden away in a garage for most of its life.

Recently saw a E30 B3 roll into Tesco’s car park when I was getting fuel. Almost went over and had a look, but thought better of it. Looked in good nick and being used!

I wholeheartedly agree. That’s why I’m writing this from Oslo having driven here in the M5.
