It's amazing just how much the Coop is in a completely different league of stand-out distinctiveness compared to yet another plain old Bumm£r. Of course this will only get more so with time... for both cars.

I live in slough, but work in chertsey, and was passing through weybridge one day when I saw you in the beast. Wasn't in my coop at the time, so didnt/couldnt give you a little wave or flash you!
Why don't you just keep it as a weekend car, and use the m3 as the daily run around?!?

As above, both great cars - and for me the coupe doesn't look aged at all in comparison...

Technics, having got your coop so sorted,.what made you suddenly want to change?
Why did you choose the M3 ?
Enjoying Coop ownership, second time round . Also enjoying RWD action in a thundering V8 E90 M3.

Hi Sean,
I didnt suddenly want to change, I have wanted an M3 for many years, firstly the e36 and then the e46 but they were always out of my price range and I was probably abit young to afford the insurance/maintenance/fuel etc.
I have only ever owned Fiats, 2 of them were coops, one standard for 2 years, then this tuned Plus model for the last 4 years, it was just time to move on. On top of all that my Dad has a Plus model with 518bhp so I can always keep my nose in that way too. I will always love the coops and Italian cars in general and I will still always be at AutoItalia events and so on.
The coop will be sorely missed, more than people probably imagine and ive said this before and ill say it again, I wish I could keep both but I really cant afford to do that.

Hi,
I am considering buying an M3 next year, I have a standard VT6 at the moment, how do they compare in terms of acceleration & handling? what are the SMG gearbox's like to live with?
Thanks,
Lee.

@ Surfer17, I cant help you im afraid as my coop is not standard, its running 420 bhp and my M3 is a manual. But I would say an M3 will be quicker than a standard coop.
@ Roly, yes 18" Azev C. I love these alloys, beautiful on the coop and a straight fit too!
Thanks for the nice comments.
