To sell or not to sell M140i and E92 M3

[Woodies]

Thanks for all the replies guys, much appreciated.
I guess the honest truth is none of the cars make financial sense to keep for 1 year+ with no use or joy from them.
I don't think I would find a M140i spec'd the way mine is, but I doubt I would buy another one anyway. Great car, had my fun, but life needs are changing. You can only tetris ALL the baby stuff in the car so many times. Will always wonder what it would be like with some decent mods.....
E92 M3, manual. Not as easy to replace (but enough out there). Hard decision. Thought it was first up for sale, but damn mental health issues can be costly, hahahahahaha! Leaning towards selling though. I'm just not quite ready to have 2 weekend cars.
That leads to the E46 M3. It is a keeper. No real sentimental value, I've had it 7-8 years and I've never thought of ever selling it. Doesn't make financial sense to keep, but the heart will never sell it. She is 21 years old, has a bunch of rattles/creaks, hard as hell suspension, no tech, CD player sometimes works if lucky, but it feels small and nimble and the rasp is pure bliss. Fast enough to have all the fun I need.
I will post for sale thread in the next few weeks once work confirms 100%

Yeah, having an additional R1M in the Bank account is the right thing to do. You can always buy another E92 M3 and leave you unencumbered if you stay another year or more.

I have become a huge fan over the last few years of disposing of items (even giving some away)

If you are taking to this advise….I am ready

Heading off to Northern Ireland, Belfast. Going to do a nice long TV series. I look after the money side of things, trying to keep the budget on track.

M140i sold today, really sad to see it go. E92 M3 also sold and being collected tomorrow. Think I will miss the M140i more. 87k kms in 4 years vs 20k kms in the E92 in 5 years. E46 M3 is the keeper! Such a fun car!!!!!! Most enjoyment for me personally.

Sad but good at the same time.
B58 is such a top engine!

I'm in the same boat, selling a couple cars now also. ESS E92 M3 and the one mini.

Couldn’t have said it better, I have a lot of respect for B58.

Sell me the 46 ....that's the most sensible thing to do.
