Arl30 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 That time of year again ! Browsing ads & still hankering after a M2 Comp , I know it is not a Porsche but a bit more practical than the Boxster but every time I go out in the Boxster it gets back under my skin , what else will give me the thrills for the money ? sorry no I don`t want an electric car I like the noise too much until my other ear gives out . Suggestions please ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman42 Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 (edited) do a Palmersport track day with their M2's and see how much you like it - its an awesome bit of kit when you are pushing on, but can be a little plain on the daily drive. Oh and the correct answer - have both! Edited April 30 by Mattman42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place went through a spate of Minis about 2010-2015, lots of people thinking they were a fun hatch. Can probably pick an old one up for a couple of grand now?

Arl30 Posted April 30 Author Report Share Posted April 30 Hi suggestions other than a M2 comp we have several classics in the family so the Boxster hardly gets used , X5 , 3 series touring and a 2 series coupe make up the fold so adding another BMW is not really what I want as it already looks like a BMW dealership !

Menoporsche Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Wait, and you're thinking of selling the Boxster for something "a bit more practical"? When you have a Touring and an X5? Does Not Compute. Admit it, you're just bored, and want to be talked out of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking up to £40k - the usual suspects would be a 991, TTRS, Exige, Maserati GT, AM Vantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arl30 Posted April 30 Author Report Share Posted April 30 Hi both sons cars touring and 2 series coupe , X5 is for the dog . The budget was going to stretch to a new M2 but selling house for a bigger drive , 944 on way (sons ) I bought it for him as a present as bought the other son a Jensen so double garage is full as already had a Jensen Healey in their . Thought about an Aston but more of a Gt , TTrs just a bit too safe and tramline , 991 wide not as wide as a 992 but not far off , Exige have 2 lots of trouble usually serious cars , Maserati heart attack if anything goes wrong . Quite fancy a 1M , Z4M coupe or a 997 4s would have loved an Alfa but too unreliable , car market is still all over the place , prices are still high we buy any car are a joke but most traders seem to use that as a guide to trade in then look through the yellow pages to pick a number out for retail ( yes really that old ) . Long gone are the days of reasonable priced cars with average mileage even BMW.CO.UK had a 69 plate 3 series GT last week on their site with 169k miles these would normally gone to a back street trader not a prestige dealership . That`s why I am struggling to find something else , I may even store the Boxster and lease something . Just been for a blast along Pooley Bridge - Glenridding road , roof down , Aviators on & for once it was quiet need Shell garage next it like to drink !

iborguk Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Bottom line, only you can decide what you want. I need to step up my own usage game and whilst I think about getting rid every time I get it in it puts a smile on my face. Good luck with whatever you decide.
