i agree, roadster too - cheaper and the top comes off.

 

with all the stuff mentioned above by gsi and fellow owners, my post was a bit long and I omitted a few things.

Nothing wrong with an M Roadster at all but like the S it demands respect, and I think by M Division's own high standards the handling wasn't as, er... resolved as some of the other M cars. You'd get one for around

 

Wasn't the roadster also too small to have the 6 speed box in?

 

None of them have a 6 speed box (coupes inc).

Although it is possible to install one given a few other changes down the drivetrain.

 

I saw the Z3M years ago in my town. When I saw it I remember thinking that it looked like the car all Z3s should be.

If a single car, a Z3M came out and no other derivs, that would have been a stonking model.

 

I think you've really hit it square there, Colin.

Or even a cooking version plus the M would seem ok.

I know they sell more four bangers than six pots, but the fours make the rest comical.

The 'one version' helps give other cars their exclusivity.
