I'm in, date permitting

Sounds like a plan! I'm pretty busy over the next few months but if I'm available count me in...

Sounds like a plan

Thanks guys, I'll keep an eye out for a local meet! Had a good chat with Jords last night so I'm pretty set on one, just need to decide whether I could live without the luxury, fun, power and noise of the M!

Yeah I checked your site after I'd posted and realised. I used to really enjoy detailing whilst I had the 200sx but since moving house and no access to a hose pipe etc I've just never bothered with the M3.... I might take you up on that and head over at some point for some inspiration etc. Are there any Yorkshire meets at all?

Haha I'll pm you my number, if you ever do end up this way by all means give me shout and I'll show you the M and check out yours if I'm free...

Hi, thanks! Judging by your name I assume you have a detailing company? I've neglected my M3 for a while so maybe I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone and pop over for a bit of a clean whilst also checking out your car!

Haha don't let me put you off, it's an incredible car and part of me thinks I should go f80 M3 next or keep it as I love the M's so much but... I need to reduce my monthly costs for a while so think it's time to go 'slightly' more sensible for a while. Cheers for the advice, I'll bear that in mind

Awesome thanks! Yeah best I can seem to get on a long motorway journey is about 26-27, my daily commute is a short 10 mile trip with mainly fast a roads and a small amount of town work. Mpg isn't really the be all and end all, it would just be nice to get a little more than 200 miles to the 70 quid I spend on fuel a week

I'm actually in Steeton so Keighley is just down the Bypass, I just say Skipton as most people haven't heard of Steeton unless they're local... Just been reading that thread now thanks, like you say, there doesn't seem to be much in it so guess I should just focus more on getting the right car! I do have quite a heavy foot to be fair, hence the poor mpg in the M3

Hi! I'm looking at making the same transition, from e92 to Z... I'd definitely be intrigued to hear how you find the swap...

Hi! So I've just recently joined the forum, I'm not an owner yet but am looking to purchase a 350z in the next few months... I currently have an e92 M3 as my daily and although I love it, it's not exactly a practical daily with its 17mpg and associated running costs! I also need to settle down a bit and save money as the Mrs keeps talking Weddings and babies and what not! I was thinking a 350z would be a nice compromise, still fun and RWD with an LSD but slightly more economical and less expensive to run and insure. I've previously owned an S14a 200sx which was an awesome car so I'm sure the Z wouldn't disappoint. I'm in massive research mode at the moment trying to decide what model to go for etc but wondered people's opinions on a couple of questions... Is there enough of a difference to mean I should definitely get an 07 onwards model with the newer engine etc? Is the roadster worth considering? I'd also be interested to know if 25+ mpg is realistically possible lol. I live near Skipton in North Yorkshire so if anyone's local it would be good to meet up,I'd happily exchange a passenger ride in the M3 for a trip out in a 350z so I can get a better feel for them... Thanks in advance, Stephen
