thanks for the replys everyone,looks like a e46 m3 as wife likes that shape much more then the newer 3 series,so just need to get one and when i do post some pics,,thanks and regards jason p

blimey gav thats a suprise as i thought that the cs had improved traction control and steering rack and "better" front brakes apart from csl wheels,,alcantara steering wheel and handbrake?so a standard m3 with some nice rims and a bit of alcantara..,love the interlagos blue though...thanks a lot gav,regards jason p

thanks gav,thats good to know,,how long before clutch changes on the m3? also is the cs model harder to live with then the regular m3 on a daily basis and much difference on servicing charges? thanks for the replys and starting to get excited now,my wife likes the m3 shape more then the newer shape 335i,,could make that turbo interesting with a few tasteful mods though,,thanks again all,,regards jason p

thanks matt,,thats kind of you,,yeah keep going back to the e46 m3 cs,,one i like is in interlagos blue and another in a grey similiar to the csl but also saw what looks a mint silver m3 with full spec [sat nav-sunroof,h/kardon],low miles,!Removed! tough decision as have owned e46 325i coupe in the past and love the model,,thanks again matt,will keep you posted,,regards jasonp

hiya all,,just wanted to say hello,i am nearly 50yrs young lol and from woodford green on the essex/east london borders,,,will be needing a new daily driver for wife and i [old porker owned for sunny weekends] and cant seem to decide,it seems almost certain we will go for a 335i msport coupe[manual] but my eyes keep drifting over to the e46 m3cs which seems to be the same sort of money,,is the m3 overkill for a daily driver? and would i be better off with a 335i m coupe? i think the 335 will be more practical , anything i need to watch out for with the 335i like the vanos probs with the m3?,any ideas,insights or recs much appreciated,,,many thanks jason p
