Just checking in to say Hi to one and all. Like a few others on here recently moved from M3 to an Exige. A 190 NA so maybe not quite as quick off the mark but so much more fun!

Cheers

Welcome Tony. I’m sure you’ll enjoy your new toy.

Where’s the pictures? Chop chop.

And I was thinking of going the other way

Will post a few when it’s had its stripes done in a few days.

Nothing wrong with an M3 at all I just didn’t have the need for another 4 seater. I have an X5 as a family car and an old Jeep for hauling stuff to the tip. I couldn’t justify keeping the M3 purely for recreational driving on cost whereas the Exige is more “fun” and is less to run.

An M3 is a hell of an alrounder though. Excellent cruiser, good perfomance and handling and 4 seats.

If you get serious spend time researching the cars thoroughly. Some real problem cars around, even AUCs’ from dealers.

I just bought an Exige S to replace my Noble. 18 months ago I bought a Convertible M3. I thoght it would be a fun car for the summer but I have to say it was a mistake. Compared to the “sports cars” it’s too slow ( off the line) and compared to my 535i its a poor family car. I wouldnt dream of tracking the M3, it lolls about like a double decker.
