Hey Guys,

A guy i know has asked if i would swap my BMW E46 M3 with 70350 for his My05 Sti with 17500.I haven't had my M3 long and i got to be honest the M3 just doesn't do it for me and i have been thinking did i do the right thing when i part ex my old my05 Sti.But i do think about the spec my M3 has compaired to the STi.

What year is your M3?

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

Is the STi a Blobeye or Hawkeye? Crossover year. Can get a decent financial comparison then of what is worth what.

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.
