OK, I currently own an Audi S3, and an E30 M3. The M3 spends most of its time in the garage (comes out on "nice" weekends), the S3 is my everyday ride. I bought the S3 just under a year ago, it replaced my E36 Evo Convertible, which in turn replaced my E36 3.0 M3 Coupe. As much as I love my 273BHP S3, I'm thinking of selling it as I want another E36 M3. Being a bit "flash" I'm thinking of another Evo convertible. Problem is though, if I get a convertible what reason would I have to get the E30 out on those "nice weekends"? So now I'm thinking I should sell my E30 M3 and replace it with an E30 M3 convertible, and buy an E36 M3 Coupe. And if I'm doing that, I'm thinking I might go for another 3.0, not the Evo (as I found it to be the stronger car). Ah man, I just don't know... |

Sorry , but I had to laugh. If you had an E36 M3 convertible,then I think you'd have every reason to get the real M3 out to drive

Hi I have a convertible M3 and a E30 M3 and I still find plenty reasons to take the E30 out for a blast. Chris. ------------- |

Hmm.... would be nice to have such choices, tough decision eh? If I were you I'd hang on to the E30 M3 and get an E36 convertable. The E30 M3's were always best with a tin-top anyway, and while the convertable will be nice in sunny weather, you cannot beat those B Road blasts in the M. Now where's my car keys, I feel a blat coming on! ------------- Alpine White E30 M3 Evo 1

Whats the point in having 2 M3s (regardless of shape) If you must keep the E30 in the garage, get something completely different for your other car. Personally always been partial to a Saab 900 Convertible ------------- Rich.

Saab 900 Convertible? The one I went in had very nasty scuttle shake, so much so that my friend, the owner, sold it after 6 months. Unless you've got very good roads where you are Rich I wouldn't even think about one. |

why not get the E36 vert M3 and spend some cash prepping the E30 for track, not OTT tho, just subtle mods that could be removed easilly? ------------- Summer Project on its way...... |

My daily hack is now a Honda Accord Type R, with the M3 for very occasional use!
Do not dismiss the Honda - anybody looking for a daily car with some rarity, stunning performance and some street cred test drive a used approved one at your local Honda dealer. Its so good in fact im debating the need for an M3 at all... |
