    Sorry, my bad.

    Not the Coupe. Don't like it, there's one round here and that back end is just hideous...

    a Roadster. Basically the Z3 with bigger flared arches... some other styling bits, oh yeah, and the 300+bhp engine* :D


    * - Reliable engine ;)

    Easy... don't play! I'm sure penski will point out that the boot will be big enough for some curling tongs.

    hehe. it just seems that a Z3 (even the 3 litre one) is a bit of a cop out considering what else has been mentioned :) or maybe my distain for z3's is blinding my judgement, but whatever

    I think the Z3 M3 is a good compromise. The VXT is by far the quickest car, but is also by far the most under equipped.

    M Roadster is a damn nice car but...As I said before, it is tainted by the image of the lesser cars in its stable.

    M coupe = bread van.

    Is it the same 321bhp straight six as used in the E36 M3 Evo?

    If so the reliability might not be so hot :(, problems with the double VANOS variabl cam timing aplenty....this can cost a mint to fix as well (I've seen people on forums who had the problem with their M3 Evo engines, and had quotes of £2k just for parts from BMW main dealers :eeek: )

    A Z3 is nice enough but its not in the same league as a VXT, and IMHO its more 'hairdresserish' than the Boxster unless you get the M coupe/roadster version.....

    So yes! I've said it before. The NSX is fantastic, great value for money, exclusive (esp this one), and relatively cheap to run... Oh yea it's bloody quick and great to drive too.

    What are you waiting for?

    Shame it's the auto though... but I'm sure it's a decent auto box!
