This may be anecdotal, but a lot of the one's I've seen appear to required engine replacements. I don't really have much faith in Fiat reliability.

Hey if its not too late, You should check out Jale at “JLE motors”. He’s 20+ years audi tech and also a previous shop foreman at OR audi previously to opening his shop. It also happens to be 3 blocks from OR audi. Hope this helps

If you're into this gen of WRX STI's, US import, 160K kms, tastefully modded, $15K. I don't know if it's a good deal but a fair ask for a collector like this?

I've been thinking of buying an E46 m3 for a little while (it seems to correct a lot of the things I didn't like about the E36, but keeps a lot that I really miss), but
VIDEO really put me off buying one from anyone who isn't like a little OCD about their car. And those guys want 40+k these days.
At that price you may as well hang on a bit for the f80s to come down a little more.

i don't think the buyer willing to spend 40k on an E46 M3 is really cross shopping it w a newer M car. You want it for what it specifically is or you don't.

Yeah, maybe you're right.
I was thinking, if you're buying a mint E46 M3 (so we're not talking 20k anymore), it's probably not your only car. It might have been in the past, and that was/is why the M3 is great. You can use it every day, and also have a fun car for the weekend.
If it's only for fun, why not get the Z4m?
If it's to go fast, why not an M2?
The M2 and F80M3 are both heavier, but looking at the weight of today's cars.. not
that much heavier.
Meh, maybe I'm just butthurt that I didn't snag a good E46 when they were at 25kish.

You should not get a z4m just because it shares no parts with anything.

Is this also due to your lovely experience with Z4s?

Ah, the Exige is not going anywhere. I've been waiting for a replacement charge cooler (not from Lotus) for 3 months now and it has my eyes wandering.
I'm driving around town way more these days, and want something I can put a kid into the back of but still have fun. When I moved to the island I made sure I had a three car garage.. it turns out the wife is happy parking in the driveway soooo...

^ The F80 M3 is a great family car if you have young young kids. Backwards car seat fits as long as you aren't 6' tall.

Ugh I know, but 911s are like 6 figures even for a 997.2 (which I'd love).
