What year is your M3?

Could pop onto Parker's and get comparitive prices for both cars and work from that.

Going by parkers, (as I'm struggling to find your exact car on there), it seems money wise a little in your favour buy about £500. Think the Scoob was about £12,300 and the M3 about £11,800, but as above I couldn't find the exact model. Have a looksy yourself, you may have more luck.

If there's nothing really in it value wise, then its down to which car you would rather drive everyday, and the running costs for each car.

You've owned an STi before, so there's no need to go through the pros and cons of STi v M3.

If the M3 doesn't do it for you, then the spec is irrelevant.

Imagine the two cars side by side - pick the one you want .... its yours.
