That is very insightful Mr Wilks - from what you have said (and with the benefit of multiple ownership experience) it looks like there are some subtle variations that make some models more suited to what owners want, depending on their needs.

What would suit a 2.0 E89 owner wouldn't be what an E85/E86 M owner would be looking for, and vice versa!

E86 3 litre suits me just right for now - but an E86 M might be a temptation. :lol:
Coupes because stunning!
Current - Silver Grey MC, Imola Red heated Nappa & carbon trim. Aeros, H & R Coil-overs, 224s, OE Strut brace, Nav, cup-holders, DSP Hi-Fi, pdc, cruise, MFSW, no CDV! E90 330i daily
Gone - Montego Blue
Gone - Ruby Black

Between the M coupe and the 35is...

The 35is was a better allrounder,faster and more frugal to run.

The M coupe felt more "special"...

Had two simultaneously but it's a bit limiting owning a pair of 2 seaters :cry:
