Vert

Right then, I've decided to sell my E36 328i Vert AUTO.
Why... As much as I like the lazyness of an Auto, I yearn for manual again. Also, I should never have left Red! (My vert is Green.)
Next on the horizon, an E36 328i vert, manual and red!
Or
E36 M3 3.2 Coupe in Red!
After going to the Ring twice over summer, I really wanted to have a track friendly car!
So, pose vs. power!
I have always been a poser. Not a rude boy style, but subtle and sophisticated lol [ok
But then I think of the Ring and think... M power! I'm currently on my 2nd E36 (I'm in uni so not looking to spend too much, ie E46).
My ideas for the vert would be to have the manifold and throttle body changed to the M50 version, plus remap and a Mini Cooper S charger. Looking at 260bhp, up from standard 193bhp? Add strut brace, sort the anti roll bars, etc. And I am a summer person, I revel in the sun, love to pose and has that playboy look :cool: ;) I absolutely loved every minute of summer this year. Even got to drive at the Ring with the roof down! [ok :eek:
As for the M, well it's going back to a coupe. I loved my old coupe to bits, it just didn't have the power (or AC lol!) originally I wanted an M3 coupe after my 318 coupe then i bought a 28 vert at the last minute.
Both have pros and cons.
Vert has the look, pose, still has power but not so track friendly.
Coupe has the all the power, track friendly, it's an M!
But not as flashy as a vert.
Oh man! I'll be test driving both as I've never actually test driven an M so who knows!
