i always said i was going to keep the sport but now ive got the m3 bug! now i am stuck i was thinking of getting big arches like elfs car and a nice set of deep dish wheels on with bare metal respray. but now im thinking i could buy a nice m3 if i sold an used the extra money. downside is an m3 is bound to be slower than mine which is around 230bhp at the moment and insurance is triple the price for the m3! what to do

Insurance tripled!
Someone is trying to get your pants down, my insurance dropped by £35 when I went from a 325i sport to an M3.

insurance is a fickle thing and everyone is different and so are each insurance companys variables as to whats a good customer. no one pays the same

He is in Northern Ireland where Insurance is a different kettle of fish to the rest of the UK, from what I understand.

Buy one is my advice.
And my insurance was cheaper also.
