Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Congrats! The Aero kit looks great and the window tint adds to the overall coolness of the car. I got my '03 Arctic Silver C4S Coupe 6 weeks ago. Now stop reading these posts and go drive it!
Nice ride. Just want to get your input on the M3 e46 vs. 996. Likes dislikes/advantages/disadvantages... I'm deciding between the two right now. Thanks.
ok E46 v 996
Right i can only give my opinion based on the convertible model as thats the one i had. The M3 does have a better build quality on the interior but i think the porsche is a much nicer place to be.
Driving the M3 and porsche they are two different animals the M3 does not feel as well planted on the road and can sometimes feel like it trying to get away from you. Also i found the steering to be a bit light when driving hard i geuss bmw tried to make the car accessible to all types of drivers. i dont really class the M3 as a out and out sports car more of a sports cruiser as it fits 4 adults comftably and enough boot space for the weekly shop ect ect.
The M3 is a great car but i dont see me owning another M car for a while yet as it has made a few compromises to many for me but then again i went and brought the convert.
The gearbox in the M3 is very notchy compared to the very pricise nature of the porker.
Now if i could have both cars i would be a very happy man.
One thing i will say is a lot of people progress from the M3 to the porsche so theres your answer really.
The best thing for you to do is test drive both of them and see what meets your needs best. If your going to get an M3 i would go with the CSL as that is one hell of a bit of kit.
Have a look on

for all your M3 needs very helpful bunch over there and a fair few porsche people too.
Hope that helps
