Pure performance? Maybe, but I'd take the RS4 over the M3 sedan every single day. Now of course, I'd be crazy not to grab a AC-Schnitzer modded ///M3 coupe.

It was an opportune moment to sell the CooperS. I was offered close to 88% of my total investment (purchase price+mods) after driving the car for 11-odd months, which seemed like a very good deal. People in their 20s as well as some older women are quite literally snapping these MINIs up by the dozen. It's no coincidence that the MINI is the least depreciating brand in the U.S. Plus, I was itching to buy these:



The Miata provides the most bang for your buck, bar none. I was dissed off by my friends for driving a hairdresser's car but the same guys were begging me to let them drive after I took them on a mountain run. The 335 might appear stock but was Vishnu tuned and could easily smack the older M3s as well as timid drivers of the new one into oblivion.

@jcwhite: Couldn't have said it better.

Ye the MINIs seem to be doing extremely well here in South Africa as well. I cant go 5km out the house without seeing one but the best part is that most are unique with very different colour combos, ive NEVER seen a Mini with the colour combo and stripes you had on yours, but ye you had a good reason to sell it, if it were me i would've kept it and carried on modding it put on the CHECKMATE stripes and checkerd flag.
335i is a beauty and in your case a wolf in sheeps clothing,and thats good, rather have a car that looks standard but performs extremely well than a car that looks faster than it actualy is
Not a big fan of miatas, what are they anyway, Mazdas?? Anyway as long as you're happy with your current toys thats what counts, id be more than happy with a 335i no doubt, yes im a big Beemer fan boy if you havent noticed still have to get my 1st car though

Hmm.. I thought the color on my MINI was quite popular- Lightning Blue with black mirror covers, roof & racing stripes. Checkmates would look nice but as you have figured by now, I'm a fan of performance rather than looks.

Nice comment about the sheep in wolf's clothing. I'm tired to seeing crappy Mitsubishis and Toyotas Corollas with those gigantic wings on the back that try to race you between stoplights.
The Miata is the best selling convertible/roadster in the world mate. And yea, it's a Mazda but a damn good one. The short throws and knife-through-butter action of the gearbox is worlds better than on the 335. Btw, check out my friend's E36 ///M3:


'tis an absolute monster with almost every conceivable mod in it.


Not trying to be a smart *** over here, but a Mini refers to the classics. The BMW manufactured models are called MINIs.
But yeah, what you said is true.
