poll of the day

[rtbiscuit]

i'd have the M3; all the w4nkers left BMW and went and bought audi's; so BMw is safe to own again.

 

must admit its a tough choice, both are about the same price. one 4wd the other rwd,

 

audi is too understated for my liking.

[Ekona]

Not even a contest, M3 by a country mile. Even an RS4 wouldn't be my choice if that was an option instead.

[RisingPower]

I'd say S4, having had an M3 and never wanting one again after that experience. Neither of them do it for me though tbh.

 

IMHO they're both lardass coupe/saloons.

[M9O OEY]

M3 for me

[Sarnie]

Defo M3, although I don't think they are directly comparible......

[Husky]

I don't think you have a choice given your line of work

 

I see you as a less pale version of this

What, uber cool?

[Husky]

Ha! yeah

 

[Stew]

Nah, Sarnie is too cool to wear a tie with a short sleeved shirt. I mean, nobody does that do they????

[Bradders]

Got to be the S4.

 

Nice and subtle, plus has the 4wd for surefootedness

 

Hang on why do I have a Z then!

This has been interesting as this poll has stemmed from a conversation/argument husky and i had the other night. next year i might be needing a bigger car with 4 seats, and i've been racking my brains on what to get. i love the S2000 but it might have to be swapped out in the summer.

 

i've kind of settled on the M3 for the money, looking at the E46 with the straight 6 not the E92 with the V8 and husky reckons the audi S4 is better.

 

i also still want to keep the convertible life so will be probably getting the vert and not the coupe. and i like the cinammon leather

 

just goes to show the old horses for courses thing. we all have different tastes.

 

i really like the m3, but husky says if i buy one he'll only ride in it if i get him a brown paper bag to put over his head.

 

if any one has any suggestions of possible alternatives then let me know as both me and husky are stumped on what to look at; especially as i've spent weeks trawling piston heads classifieds.

So there you go, M3 it is

Happy for you to put what ever you like over Husky's head if it keeps him quiet for a while

[Stew]

CLK AMG 'vert?

[rtbiscuit]

CLK AMG 'vert?

the merc is nice, especially the 2009 edition, but i'm just not quiet feeling it, i like the BMw's more aggressive look i must be destined to be a grade a git.

Sorry, I find them both bland and uninspiring. BMW dealership is closer so I'll go for that one .

what would you reccomend in stead if you had to have more seats? budget of around £15k

Nooooooo......take the queensferry bypass instead and to the audi garage on cheshire oaks ....its longer but quicker!

That's the same crew that ran Audi Sealand Road (next door to BMW), they were incredibly dismissive towards me when I enquired about A TT a few years ago. "We can sell as many as we want, don't need your business, 3-6 months wait, might not be the colour you want, no discount for cash, blah, blah ,blah ", put me off Audi big time, in fact sadly I got pretty much the same response from Hartwell Nissan. At least BMW actually had some cars to sell when we bought the Z4.

 

Pete

[Ricey]

Funny you should say that....my mate went in to by a Q7 and he had the exact same treatment!

 

All flash and no substance I'm afraid......like an M3 driver.come to think about it

[rtbiscuit]

i've always found BMW very helpful, i got offered a Z4M for a weekend a couple of years ago when i was looking for the Zed,

 

both audi and nissan were crap.

[RisingPower]

I was just curious, are the 4 seats actually usable in a convertible like the s4/m6 etc? All that space taken up by the soft top can't leave much room?

 

 

It has to be a convertible right?

I guess something like this wouldn't appeal?

Bit over, but it is a convertible:

Actually, the Mustang is interesting, very interesting . I've never followed the flow, always gone for something different even if isn't always the smartest thing. Went for a GT6 when everyone else went for MGB GT's, always picked the underdog, Ford Capri 2.8i, Celica T-Sport, Sunbeam Stiletto. Nothing against BMW or Audi, good cars, far too sensible for me though .

IMHO most BMW's/Audis are just euroboxes with a few exceptions. I don't rate "german build quality" either.
