It's hardly worth changing, anything else you buy may have lower running costs but will probably be depreciating where the M3 is not.Quote:

My policy is up in oct. No point in loosing the last 4 months ncb to try get a classic policy. It would be something for next renewal. They may be wary of my age iswell. Think their excuse last time was that the car age stipulations habe changed. That the car needs to be older or something. I habe a thread about what was said to me on here somewhere
I feel your pain lad!! But I'll through my 10 cents in. 19 years ago I sold my E36 328i sport to build my first house and like yourself I could have done it without selling but my gut told me sell to keep costs down,my girlfriend (now my wife) and I ran around in her 93 clio for a couple of years and when the ducks lined up I bought some nice cars again.
If you are gonna reduce costs cut them to the bone the tighter you cut the quicker you will get back into a M
from my experience i wouldn't sell it. the m3 is only going one way in value. you could sell now for whatever it will make and the money will be gone in a matter of months. then think about trying to find a spare 5k in the future to buy one, if you can even find one for that price. it's very difficult. i'd definitely say scrimp and save and store the car and buy a run about. you'd get a lovely 318is for peanuts. you're not losing money by keeping it because you've already had the outlay when you bought it. I sold my ae86 a few years ago for similar reasons and i've regretted it ever since and now they're rocketing in price again. DON'T DO IT!
Car is now back on the road, insured and taxed for another 3 months
So for the time being this is no longer for sale.....
Thanks for all your input guys...much appreciated
Good move for now Kris, see how it all pans out for 3 months and then relook at it if needed. If you do decide to sell it then I would be going with what Gavin46 said and cut it all to bone with something very bland and basic to get you buy for the time being. I doubt though you'll sell after driving it around for the next 3 months :D.
Ye we shall see what happens.Quote:
