Now I know this might be a long shot, but here goes anyway - has anyone bought an M400 in a mad moment and subsequently found it too impractical for everyday use and who might want to exchange it against a 2004 SMG M3 coupe plus cash?? This a genuine request as I went the other way and now want to revert!!! This way we could both avoid sizeable depreciation hits.

How about a 3R instead?

So Alan, does an M3 now replace the dream of a DB9 or an M14?

Well no, changed deposit for the AMV8 in lieu of the DB9 (bit more sensible price wise; still one left on the M14 that appears to have been delayed to end of the year.
Have Megane 225 sport for every day now as my wifes Mog plus 8 does not have much more luggage than the Noble.

Despite derogratory remarks about the new GS 430 luxo barge Lexus it has a lot of appeal to us oldies now as my wife's bad back makes it difficult to get in and out of the Noble. Many owners go from one extreme to the other peple tell me.

Had over 2.5 years of Noble ownership (and without speeding ticket )and thinking about not over chancing my luck.

I stil have no idea which way to jump as her in doors is thinking about a new V6 Mogan as well!

I'll be giving a CSL a go on Saturday, see what all the fuss is about!

Not selling my soul to Bavaria just yet though (it's going to Ingolstadt if anywhere!) the brother in law is buying one !!

Spent ages looking at 3R and M400's. Nearly went for the M400, awesome car. After taking out a CSL and some long hard thinking, I went for the CSL. Not regretted it all, great car, hours of fun, brings a smile to my face every time.

Good luck with the test drive

Cheers

Michael
