My brother's had both, and the exige didn't compare to the b.m apparently.

He had the bmw for a year, and the exige for 3 months.

Find what out?
Why he only had the exige for 3 months?

Because he had an M5 on order.

Or did you mean why the exige was better?

He said its a fun car, he doesn't have much of a drive to work (5/10 miles). If it was a longer journey i'm sure the bmw would of swayed him, as it's far more practicle. He'd had another lotus any day of the week, it's not as comfortable as the bmw though.

Ah right, I read it as the BM was better and the Exige didn't compare.

Trip to work is 15 miles and do 4 on / 4 off so it's only 120 miles a week. Can't see it being any more uncomfortable than the corsa is!

Ideally 25 but from what I've seen an Exige S with decent miles is gonna be nearer the 28-30 area

Vauxhall Monaro VXR8? About 450bhp
Porsche 911 / 993? Probably get a nice one for around £25k

my ex-mentor at work had a 3.0litre Z4 and then sorted some sort of deal ot and borrowed a Z4-M for an extended period. He liked it but said it wasn't worth the extra money over the 3.0 Z4; ie the increase in price was not justified with a bigger grin factor

I love BMW's but in this case I would chose the Exige every day of the week.
