Could you send more details and maybe some pics. I could be interested.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Now to start looking, also need to get the M cleaned and advertised. Apart from the obvious autotrader and pistonheads. Any good sources to find these cars?

Thanks for the replies, it's given me a good few details to think on. I think it will be a newer model so I get a few more creature comforts as well.

Will mod slightly. Maybe new back box and induction, but nothing too extreme. Been there done that with the scoobies. Will be looking for a low owner low mileage ideally.

Ok so if I have a budget of say 11k, what is the model to go for?

Hi guys, I've had my e46 M3 for 6 months and while it's obviously a really capable fast car. I just can't seem to gel with it. So I'm looking at alternatives, it's not a daily driver, so doesn't need to be practible. As in fuel consumption space etc. But it does need to be engaging and fun, after driving the company qashqai all week. When looking at the M, the 350 was considered, as was a boxster, older 996 and RS6. Decided on the M based on residuals looks, and the reviews. Plus the test drive was entertaining. I've had plenty of fast cars before mainly 4wd scoobies, S4 and a 996 C4S to name a few. So I'm looking for real world experience and if the Z might give me what I'm looking for. I will be looking at all the FAQs here to see if the Z could be the next car. Thanks David
