Quick update...
I took the decision to pull the trigger on a E93 M3 convertible last month... not sure what swayed my decision... may be the endless summer and the appeal of the country lane drives with the roof down or the cracking deal from the BMW dealer I bought it from (40k miles for a MY10 w 24months bumper to bumper BMW warranty - all for very low £20s)
Anyhow... I have owned the car for 4 weeks now, and have driven it for 1k miles on highways and small country lanes... and I just find it sooooo boring. I just cannot connect with the car. It feels so agricultural below 3,500 rpm, the steering is so heavy and the sound completely underwhelming.
Although I like the complete peace of mind it offers, and the fact that it looks kind of half decent - everything else is very disappointing.
I really wanted to check another car box, and I am trying hard not to compare it with the f430 or my previous GT, I still don’t get why that V8 w 400+ bhp won engine of the year for like 4 years in a row.
I am considering upgrading the exhaust with the cheap OEM mod and trying a track day to see if I can fall in love w it.
If that still falls short of creating the emotions I was hoping for, the car is likely to be gone within the next 6months!
