[Nick P]

As the thread says......I sold my Chimaera at the weekend and collect the M3 on saturday....I'm quite excited as this is a totally new direction for me....i ran a couple of threads a couple of weeks ago to try and suss any problems and the response i got was quite helpful in making my decision...thanks....and I guess you'll be seeing more of me around. Any meets going on?

Hi Nick!

I know exactly what you are going through right now having just said goodbye to my Griffith (before that I had a Chimaera) for the same reason! I too went for the M3 EVO as a good compromise - I'm still trying to hear the engine!!!!

Drawback: I'm missing the 'wow' factor! I'd got used to people talking to me at petrol stations and kids waving from street corners or out the window of their parents cars!!

More likely now is some kiddie in a modded Corsa trying to race me!!

Why oh why didnt they make the Cerbera properly????
sniff.....

yep....we tried a Cerbera and the missus felt claustrophobic in it and hated it....the kids just about fitted, but only after i had amputated their legs.
The M3 is the only thing that holds a candle performance wise and has rear seats....a lot of people suggested Audis and the likes, but I didnt want a big floppy jelly for a car....i already have a Galaxy for that!!! I think the M3 has great potential but I will miss the "corr mister" thing.

Im really missing my Esprit even though I had a complete nightmare with it mechanicly, The initial feel good factor of the M3 has worn off, although it is a superb car and I cant fault it at all, it is not in the same league as my Esprit for sheer "prescence" on the road, nobody even gives you a second look, and even other M3 drivers dont acknowledge you out on the road???? WHY?? I really miss the people neary breaking their necks double taking, when I used to drive around, and people taking pictures with their phones, its a difficult one.

yeah, i agree.....but the main factor for me was having 3 lids and a 2 seater!!!! I can cram them all in the back now!!

I'm about to try to sell the m3 and buy a cerbera :-)

Have fun with the M3 - they are great cars.... Owned 2 x e36 evo cabs and an E30 M3
