Don't like the sound of that mate, thoughts on a 03-04 bmw 330ci (wouldn't get insurance on m3)

BMW e46 M3 would be my choice I think.

Or maybe a Porsche Cayman.

Or if practically is not a consideration, then perhaps a Lotus Elise.

I think the 330ci is a lovely all round car for sure, not especially exciting to drive but a solid drive though.

I run a 2006 330i and I've been happy with it to be fair, I loved the Cerbera but my pockets sadly weren't deep enough to run it.

I did manage to have it for 6 years though and it's an experience I won't forget.

A nice manual 330ci is a very sought after motor for sure.

The 330 can be fun but I think I wrongly compare it to some of the other cars I've had, there's lots of sound deadening so they're pretty quiet and sedate.

They're more of a cruiser than a fun car I think, if you can get insurance the Z4M(has the M3's engine in it) is great fun and has a slight raw feel to it.

Except, at 21, the insurance quote will be £15k, leaving him nothing to actually buy and run the car with.......
