I thought the Inspection 2 service was pretty cheap on my E46 beemer. Especially compared to what my old evo main service cost which was almost double

Nice cars, found mine a bit of a bugger to sell on though, not as quick or responsive, handling not as good as a scoob. Mine was an M plate and struggled to get 4.5k for it in the end...

They are like chalk and cheese. Being what appears to be the CAB variety, I would say go for it, but thats only because I want a soft top at the moment.

Have owned several scoobs and M3 Evo's. If you enjoy driving then keep the Scoob, if you want the image and pose factor of the M3 EVO then go for the M3. The M3 is quick, but it won't feel quick compared to the scoob.

With the mileage on that M3, and being a CAB, I would go for it. But then I like chopping and changing cars.

God you couldnt pick anything more different to the STI, the M-Tech straight 6 is about as smooth as they come.. plus the RWD will give you a nice refined ride.. Its a heavy car to, especially as a cabby!

Personally I think the M3 will bore the hell out of you!!
