M Coupe or M3 Coupe?

[churchwa]

Come on guys help me out here.

Which do i go for? Both have the same engine, although the MC's is slightly detuned, but it is faster due to it being lighter. Everyone has an M3 ;) whereas there are only 51 MC's (rhd) with the S54 engine.

Durg wont let me become a member of EcoTachnik with my Mustang and i'm feeling left out. (I know it is only becasue i have 8 cylinders and my car is louder than all yours put together ;)) Especially those of you out there with only 4 cylinders (Ali!!!!!)

Joking apart i need some help deciding. I think i will only have about 26k to spend so i think SMG is out. M5's are great but use too much Optimax.

If its that big black bugger then i can understand the reason why, my baby would get up and run upon hearing that thing idle...ahaha

The MC would be my choice mate they are lush, what colour we talking about here??

I would get an M-Coupe. £26K will buy you a really mint one whereas for the same money, you'll get an ex rep E46 M3 with poor specs. M-Coupe is unique and will always be, the shape although it's love or hate, is becoming timeless. The E46 is becoming redundant, especially with the E90 just round the corner.....

I would get an M-Coupe in either silver or black and put on a nice set of alloys.

....or you could consider an S54 engined Z-M and do it up nicely.....

My favourite :)

Yeah, my ideal one would be Black with a Black and Red interior, AC Short Shirt, AC Exhaust, AC Pedals, AC Rear Wind and AC front lip spoiler.

I think i am goint to have to be less fussy about the colour though as many of them seem to be in Laguna Seca with Black Blue.

Have a look.

Definitely the mcoupe, I love the "breadvan" and the one ride I ever had in one was awesome, it really goes like shit off a shovel.

......................shit off a shovel

I like that metaphor :D ...........but it's faster than that, more like diarrhoea off your a** :rolleyes:

Hope that doesnt mean you are thinking about getting rid of the yank tank :eek:

[churchwa]

Yeah, it will be going soon (I hope)

I have my eyes firmly set on a Steel Grey on at Sytner. (Red interior)

They are desperate to sell it to me, they keep on dropping the price. Could be a great buy if i can just shift my beast on.
