    The M3 makes sense as a dad car. It does all the family stuff, plus Connor actually drives and tracks his cars. It's the best of all worlds.

    I absolutely love these. The wide arches and stance is stunning. I can't get over the dreadful noise they make though. Sounds like a 3cylinder fiesta. Such a shame. I think I'll go for the e92 m3. Yes it's a fair bit slower and doesn't look quite as good but they make an epic noise.

    This is not a good family car, it's not even a good car for a single guy who wants even basic levels of comfort. The cabin is very noisy due to the lack of insulation, the tyres make an insane amount of noise over rough UK roads, most likely due to the huge wheels, it feels like you're riding on the rims themselves. You get lots of wind noise at just 30mph. It's great for a country road blast and decent on smooth motorways, horrendous around town.
