Re: Questions on getting an MCoupe (and vs. Audi T (archive)

Go drive the M Coupe and then you will understand the attraction of the car
It is not as forgiving as the E36M3 but yet has more spunk to it that makes the M3 feel...mmm...big(?)...less responsive(?)
The TT is nice, but not an M car and it will never be able to compete nor should it be compared at the same level
If I could have an M Coupe, my wife a TT, and a 5 series for the other times...it would be great

: Hello!

: Well, I am in the boat that many are in (at least on the M3 sections of this board) and that is waiting for the new E46 M3 to come out. I want to see it in person, and DRIVE it, to see how it feels, is it heavy, etc. But the wait is getting discouraging, especially with the possibility of price gouging to think about.

: So, I have begun to look at the M Coupe, I've been lurking here, and I am going for some test drives this weekend. The style of the M Coupe is weird, but unique; I think I like it from the outside. The inside is awesome, expecially with the two-tone color scheme, although I have reservations about the comfort of the seats. And I think I can get by with the limited cargo space.

: I was hoping that some of you might have some thoughts on things like: 1) How does the M Coupe drive compared to an E36 M3 -- what are the big differences? 2) How does the M Coupe compare to the Audi TT coupe? On the M3 boards, everyone is "M3 vs. S4" blah, blah, blah. But in the two weeks or so that I have been reading here, I don't think I have seen a mention of the TT -- is it not a competitor to the M Coupe? (OK, I know the power is less, but form factor and product "intent" seem close enough for me to put them mentally in the same category).

: I probably wouldn't be driving an M Coupe tomorrow if I didn't think that it was going to go away, but it seems like ( from the posts here) that there might not be an M Coupe for 2001. I'd hate for the E46 M3 to be a fat pig with no M Coupe as an alternative, and that is what is driving my decision to look at the M Coupe.

: Thanks for all of your thoughts!
