Which of the two has a racing pedigree and was the most succesfull touring race car ever? Right! The E30 M3 has this beautiful balanced, hard core race style written all over it, it even performs as it looks! Also just a little bit faster than the 635 Csi. And much more exclusive (17184 units from 1986 to 1990, including 786 cabriolets, 500 Evo 1, 505 Evo 2 and 600 Sport Evo, 450 Cecotto, 150 Europameister, 25 Ravaglia's and 350 racecars) Ok, enough for now!>> Adwo: Can't say I disagree strongly with you, but frankly I'd probably agree with Phil and keep the CSi for "class" reasons as well. More "sophisticated tourer" versus "boy racer". Were I going club racing or autocrossing, the advantage shifts clearly to the M3. Suffice it to say that if choosing between the two is "rayk's" biggest problem, he's living "right"! <<(short time lurker, I'm in the process of buying an Urq)>> Definitely agree here.... in my book, the UrQ ranks above the CSi and the M3 for a lot of reasons, "class" included. Bet Phil would agree as well. Bill Elliott Lake Mills, WI 85 UrQ... usually the wrong weather for either M3 or CSi
