SORNing it's a bad move; that tends to happen.

Then you drive it again and remember why they are so addictive.

It's unfamiliarity breeds contempt, if you will.

A SC S2000 is a lot more exciting imho

if you want to cruise around in a gear too low and make sexy noise get an M3 with a proper exhaust. If you want something to poke your adrenal gland and possible kill you SC your s2000

You chaps make a convincing case, especially as I was on the fence to start with!

i must admit, as Nick has said; it just takes that first drive to the MOT centre on the 1st of April to remind me why I’ve kept her for 6 years!

SC it is then! Thanks all

If you don’t need 4 seats there no way I’d be looking at saloons!

For lugging race gear / bikes around Might be tempted by a Velar but the Merc is great. I should be down to just that, the Aston and the Caterham with the 2 S2000s being prepared for sale

Nope the RR went a while ago, got a GLC 43AMG now

Aston really doesn't get used... 2000 miles in 2 years, but i've got a couple of big trips planned this year so hoping to double that! Decat pipes coming too

(sorry for the diversion OP)

Please make a video when the pipes are on

That car would be perfect on a euro trip through the Alps etc!

Back on topic: there are a couple of major recalls just out from BMW including E92 M3s from 2007-2011. Existing owners please note

edit: nice motor MB if I were commuting and doing miles I would seriously consider this, agile machine for a 4x4

+1 what Wilfried says, sadly I seem to have missed the 'today I bought' thread
