right you might think shut up half way through this but ill say it anyway.
I was seriously considering one of these not too long ago.First thing to remember is the running costs.Fuel Service tyres etc.Second is that these engines are excellent but the differnce between them working and not working is so so thin.If you have one out of warranty then be very careful as repair bills could buy you a small house
I didnt get one in the end as i was too worried about depreciation due to the new shape coming.I opted for a range rover sport .im not saying dont get one as i love them but just a few things to take on board.

Running costs don't bother me in the slightest, I did run an Evo daily for two years

Test drove one on Sat, nice car but it didn't feel very fast. Still going to buy one as it's what I want (rear sears etc) and not boring. Just need to sell the Z now

r.e depreciation, the market reckons ~30k the car will hold it's value for a couple of years, you always lose cash anyway.

r.e warrenty, BMW warrenty has always served me well. The car I'll get should have a year left and it's circa £600 odd to renew each year which is well worth it (no quibbles)

And SMG, yuck

Quite fancy one myself too Nik! Having a few decision problems tho!!! Had an e36 M3 many moons ago and hated it but the E30 and E46 are very different beasts. Have driven an E46 but not for long enough!!!

Cos ill only use the car every now and again I dont think the M3 will be extreme enough for me!! Looking at a Tuscan me.

Not an Audi man at all, not fun enough for me. RS is nice but as with all Audi - conservative chassis makes it a little too sensible

Tuscan is nice Stu, just those dreaded electrical probs scare me + the fact I'm only selling mine (2 seats) Sagaris or T350C?
