Well howdy there, as the title suggest I own an MG ZR which I have become bored of, it was a fun first car but now I want more.

I've spent years lusting over my dads E46 M3 I've decided an E46 is a suitable replacement, specificity a 320ci or 323ci.

I'm off to skulk around and read everything I can.

Both 320 and 323 will be quite bad on fuel approx 24mpg is bad when considering a top model 330 is only 21mpg more on the motorway of course i think 320 and 323 would be quite down on power to get any real fun u less thrashing it about then expect to see less than 24mpg

If you want fun id stick with the mg zr and i hate them normally but dont think 320 and 323 are that quick really my 1.7 puma used to keep up with them easily if u want fun stay with light cars not heavier underpowered ones

E46 compact can be got quite cheap now too look for a 325ti...rapid 0-60 in 7s

Also the compact won't rip it's boot floor to pieces too!

I just bought one and there are cheap ones to be had mines an absolute minter and only cost me £3200 nice one in red has just come up ultra low miles but is £6k I reckon you could haggle down to £4500-5000 does look very clean though on pistonheads.
