In the last few weeks I've viewed and driven a '99 996 C2, an '03 E46 M3 and a '04 AMG C55 Estate. The M3 left me a little cold, but it was a tired example and I didn't like the SMG box; would like to try a good manual. C55 the ultimate practical man-barge, so very familiar (same floorpan as my C220) when pootling but some srs hyperspace shit when you mash the loud pedal (and what a noise!). 996 the most involving, connected and delightful drive; loved it. Also realised, driving extensively around South England, how quietly excellent and perfectly suited to my needs my own slightly boring little car is. Hmmm life choices. #firstworldprobs
