I can't afford the running/maintenance costs for the GTR... But where's the logic, a car with 200bhp more power is 1/4 of the cost.Clearly you're better off going for the GTR then.

I'd consider the 4wd panamera. 600hp through the rear wheels is undriveable. Even with the best rubber.
How much is a three year old Panamera...?

Start from about 30k.

I dont get it either, i moved from a 911 turbo to an e92 m3 and my insure almost doubled. Must be something about the standard bmw driverI can't afford the running/maintenance costs for the GTR... But where's the logic, a car with 200bhp more power is 1/4 of the cost.
. A 3 year old M5 will be the old one though won't it, so probably why the value has dropped so much.The facelifted model (63 plate+) with a 3.0 V6 petrol engine starts at around £35k.
M3 should be 2020 and M4 late 2020 (current run ends on 08/20).

Remember model year is 1 year offset for some reason.

Probably why a lot of Alfa Giulia QVs (510bhp rwd) have ended up trashed... A guy on the owners club up in Glasgow flipped his one over onto the roof. That power needs to be respected. I can't find any 3 year old panamera within budget though and the interior looks quiet dated in them

M140i is 1540£ and M240i is 1780£, Comparethemarket seems to be giving me the best quotes at the moment. It's looking more promising than 4k£
I'll ring around insurance companies and see if I can get it any lower...
How bad is it? I have my eye on them at the moment, I think the F10 is great and you can get a similar age 730d for 530d money at BMW AUC... is there a big catch outside the warranty? The bigger size of car doesn't bother me.

Respected basically means you can't use it.
Why buy a 600hp car if you can only use 400. I don't think rwd works beyond 400hp and 250ish on fwd no matter what anyone says.
Check out the Lexus GSF if you can find one, I owned the ISF and it was a much better car than the F10, the only downside was the unbelievably hard suspension. Hence the GSF may be better. Oh and the warranties are £550 a year, none of these Dodgy BMW warranties, and they last upto ten years I think
Oh and the service at the dealers is first rate, I had my isf serviced for £195. The BMW dealer that I used for my F10 had that many people coming and going, Lexus is a more boutique experience which was great! And you get radar cruise on the GSF which BMW don't offer on M cars for no reason whatsoever.

I want to replace my Fabia with something of a similar size so I’ve been looking at The A class, A3, golf and 1 series.
Ideally I want to spend 6 to 10k. I found a high miles (130k) 120i m sport which looks reasonable. Are they good reliable engines? A 120d with under 100k seems to be about the same price.

Put simply, no.
Didn't he have a Huracan at some point?
Anyone seen the leaked new M3 front end? Quite the ugly duckling from the looks of it although you can't really see the whole shebang just yet... Originally from bimmerpost
