I do miss my E46 M3, sold it when they were at rock bottom price for £6k, it was immaculate and had done 55k miles. Silly boy!
The problem is I doublt I could find another as nice now, thats not more than I pai dofr it when it was a couple of years old.
My only criticism was it was a bit boring. you have to be going very fast for it to come alive, the exact oposite of the '86

That's exactly how I found my E45 M3 - it was a far better car than I was a driver and I hardly ever gave it the beans. Shame really.

I had a Z4 M briefly and it had to be driven by the scruff of the neck everywhere and was very inconsistent corner to corner and felt quite numb. The friend I bought it off a few years later bought an E46 M3 and said it was totally different. Just as fast but handled so much better.
Both beauties, remember when they were £10k for a facelifted manual example unmodified - missed the boat.
A car you could daily and track on weekend.
I think Hammond reviewed the Z4M and said the same, that you had to drive it like you stole it. I think the coupe version still looks good despite the bangled design.

I'd quite like this S2000, although the killer for me is the road tax at £700+ that is crazy.

Cheaper ones are available and the older cars are cheaper to tax, but I do like these limited editions.

Wow, that's a mint example reflected in the asking price. So pre-2006 cars have cheaper tax if I recall.I'd quite like this S2000, although the killer for me is the road tax at £700+ that is crazy.

Yes, that was what I remember. But just checked the latest rules and I think all before 1 March 2001 are £360 and everything afterwards is now £735 as their co2 is over 225g/km. Autotrader still shows 2001-2006 at £430, but I think this might be wrong as they are all over 225g/km. They are 236-7g/km depending on year.
Update - Nope, 2001-2006 are only £430 as below from .gov website.

The closest thing I got to when looking was the BMW 230i which is rear drive, although auto only. Similar in terms of practicality, but totally different approach. Not a popular model and depreciation seems relatively slow - not GR86 slow.
The M240i is getting to 35k level, however xdrive only. Shame they never released a manual M240i, a baby M2 version…
Always come back to the 86, but do like to explore autotrader!!!
