If i could afford a m3 id still have a immaculate nova over it. As said its down to personel choice, i love my novas and always will. New shape m3s just dont do it for me, its all stuck up twats that drive them and thats the image they have nowadays. An old skool example though, i couldnt say no to that.

i agree and the same goes for the handling.
It doesnt matter how much money you throw at suspension setups, the M3 will always be more stable through the corners than a nova

i'm not a nova fan, can't see the attraction at all. Then again i don't see the attraction of racing up a straight road either.

These novas have been completely rebuilt by there owners, so there really classed as hand-made cars? surely thats a better build quality than any machine could ever achieve.

Yeah the fact that someones had it to bits & back together in their shed except put back using stainless bolts unstead of rusted ones does not make it better that a £40k BMW
Sorry, ive nothing major against Nova's, except when folk start making rediculous statements about them!!

Hand built. What the fuck? You are forgetting that the car was put together by a fucking robot in spain 18 years ago.
