Ok so I'm itching for new car, got a good BMW salesman who said he can prob get me in an M car and take my JCW mini

Guide me girls M2 would be obvious choice but 2nd hand they seem to be 50k which leaves me thinking m3 pref M4 as these second hand are same costs

What's everyone's view I hear Ms can be boring any views, my pref car would be C63S but too much even second hand

I looked at RS3 etc but a lot of VAG thefts about locally to me Tiguans S3s Gold Rs and VRS all getting nicked by theives who break in for the keys so don't want that
On my mind, why is this by the way why VAG?

Thanks chaps

I did consider merc C400 but BMW guy seems to be a god at number crunching

Think it's more a keyless thing. BMW's, and Fords are also hit with this. Lots of MKII Focus RS's were getting knicked as it was all too easy. That's why I never got this on my S3.

Maybe there's a market in Africa for VAG cars, or just getting knicked to break for parts?

On the BMW thing. I tested a 4 Series, and thought it was utter sh1te. Even in only damp roads the Traction control was more on than off. No driven an M3 or M4, but they don't get great reviews from Evo mag.

Here we go

Cheers Sti I must say it is always something I've hated too in my old E350 it was pretty dire in the wet, that being said when I test drove the 135i it wasn't that bad but it did have new tyres

I'll have to do some more reading and drive one, I'm just sat on holiday at the moment last day now and just toying with the idea, I know not many like the BMW stuff but I seem to recall a few have had them and did order the M2 on this forum

I'll keep my eye on the thread for the positive comments LOL

That's

Having seen an RS3 today, I'd say put aside a couple of extra thousand for a set of decent alloys. Well, unless you like your alloys to look like ripspeed specials lol!!

Just buy a GTR and be done with it.

Littleted

What a totally pointless comment, I ain't even bought anything yet I'm asking advice. Don't you have holidays or you spending all ya money on weed

Every post you make is about how much money you are spending or new stuff you want to buy or how great you are and how you have more money than everyone else.

There was no need to mention holidays etc, any normal person wouldn't because it is irrelevant to you wanting to purchase yet another new car, but you do because you are a very materialistic and shallow individual......

BMW 1M is the only recent offering that would interest me whereby you can actually enjoy it on public roads. The newer stuff is too competent and too powerful the legal side of the 'ring or autobahn IMHO.

Littleted

thanks for the view, I'll take it onboard

But FYI I've only bought a mini in the last 2 years not really brimming with cash eh, I may ask about nice cars
But I ain't bought one yet....anyway back to my very very expensive holiday, sounds like you need one grumpy guts

Littleted

Yeah I agree I wonder if this M2 will hold its price the same the second hand market on the M2 is expensive, one on auto trader for 61k gulp

TECHNOPUG

Depends on volume. Is the M2 a limited edition or low volume model? With M cars, it's low volume models like the Z3M Coupe, M3 CSL, 1M etc that hold their value. Anything that sold in big numbers will just plummet until they start getting rare again.

If you're concerned about depreciation and resale, I'd look for an older/cheaper performance car that is at the bottom of it's depreciation curve, not the top.

Littleted

Yeah know what you mean I'm just looking really met some guy here in Spain and he works for BMW so got me thinking, but couldn't remember who on here bought one

hodgy0_2

What about getting a little Elise or VX220 - to satisfy the need for "fun"

Then just get a booringish barge for day to day

And barges can be quite fast these days

You went in at length how you couldn't justify the cost of the A45 AMG fro the use it got, and how you could put the cash to better use.

Fair play - you got rid of it and bough a Mini.

But now you're asking the forum about £50-60k plus M cars. Is it any wonder people on here are reacting this way?

SmurfyBhoy

I'd go for the 1M Coupe still cost you best part of 50k tho,

Recent test between M4,M2 and the older 1Mcoupe showed how little difference there really was,

Littleted

Asking though devil not buying, just wanted some advice. But if it miffs people off i wont ask anymore.

Circumstances have changed hence why I'm now looking again thats all...

Get you f'ing wallet out you tight git. Life aint no dress rehearsal!


An M4 is a proper tool once it's mapped.....

Ignore what anyone or everyone else says...... take a drive and make your own mind up buddy!

Wash your mouth out you animal!


You do have a minor point though.
