A client of mine has just bought my X6M off me for basically what i paid for it!!! Now the the "new" plan was to run a 335d (very nice car!!) but i have taken the other halfs M3 Cab in for an oil service and they have let me have a M3 Coupe, how much better is this thing than the convertible!!!!! So much so i have changed my 335d order to a M3 got to say it is at least twice the car the cab is!!!IMO

Don't think i will as i will be using it most days and i think the ride could get a touch annoying!!! Shame that i can't test one to see but there are none about...

you wont be dissapointed, one minute its a refined motorway cruiser and the next an utter animal! presumably as per your name you have had a 997 turbo - how does/will it compare? are you going DCT? and dont forget to take the 5 yr service pack option!

The ride height is just cosmetic. As long as you have EDC then you will still have the choice depending on how you are feeling that day. It's something I will be asking about when my car next goes in for its service as I believe the car looks a little too 'high'.

I have had a few M cars in the past and im a big fan!! To be honest its not fair to compare a 997t and a M3 as the M3 fells very slow if you get out of one into the other!!!! But i cannot believe how much more sorted the coupe feels compared to my Missus cab to be honest the cab is just a posing machine if you compare the dynamics!!!! I have specced dct and gone for the service pack.....
