My mate has just asked me for some ideas for a fast car between £7k and £10k.

He was looking at M3's but at the price he's realise it's either a mint E36 the same age as his car now or a high mileage E46, neither is good enough.

So throw some ideas this way and please include some links.

Why doesn't it make sense? Did he say there was a limit to how much it would cost to maintain?

He already has a 1.8 SI. Don't think that he'll want another, but you never know.
