I have driven the C63 for quite a few miles (My best mate had one) and they are very good. Not as sharp as an M3, or as well balanced but still exceptionally good and extremely capable. The mid grunt is eye watering and it's quicker on the straight than the M3. I really like the C63 but don't love it. Long term real life mpg for my M3 was 20.5 and my mates C63 18.5-19.0 mpg, it was always 2mpg worse when we drove the same journey !

I wish 997 GT3's were in the £40's  :smiley:

B8 S4 Avant for me. 430 ponies with a 1500 quid MTM tune up. Whack a StaSis zorst on it and you have one rapid pooch transporter!

Porker 911 C2 (GT3 possible now)

Bullett proof depreciation too

Failing that I would consider a nice E46 M3 and put some proper brakes and KW Clubsports on it and some nice BMW CSL alloys.....much cheaper option I know but I also like the E92 M3.....certainly versatile and quick in Evo's review around their circuit tests.

I'm sorely tempted by a GTR too....after trying to keep with it round Combe.

Would hate the fuel bills with any of the above although the E46 M3 can be coaxed to reasonable consumption.

I wonder how long R8's will take to get to £40k??

Not long if you could bear to risk a cat D registered one. Most others are at least £50K.

The above would be at least £66k if it wasn't registered!!!!!

It depends if you buy at the right price to begin with.  When the S3 goes later this month I'll only be down £900 from the invoice price last September.  Not many cars will offer that sort of return  :evilgrin:
