You've not seen many roads in other countrys, despite what you may think of our roads, they are in a lot better condition than many many other countrys, even european ones!
You wince @ £400 road tax yet are considering an e60 M5 that'll make the treasury a very pretty penny given its monumental thirst.
Strange!
Turkey was about £500 several years ago on a 'normal' car. We aren't that hard done by here

Exactly, my Dutch mate says the road tax in the Netherlands is significantly more than here.
Caporegime
What is their average fuel price compared to ours though?

UK has high diesel, but gasoline not so bad.
Currency isn't helping the UK at the moment.

But converting it into Euros makes it look cheap because Sterling is worth very little against the Euro compared to the historical value. We know this already as people in France keep trying to buy used cars from us etc.
Only a few years ago a more typical exchange rate was 1.5+ meaning a £1.40 litre of unleaded would be over 2 euros!
British fuel in sterling costs a British person with sterling more than French fuel in Euros costs a Frenchman with Euros. If that makes sense, I'm not going a good job of explaining it

All subjective I guess. More of a wild card than the two cars mentioned above.... A rear wheel drive jap car (nothing new or special imo) or a fwd Ford with 300bhp... Would sooner take a standard ST Thorney motorsport..... imo of course lol

That price point was more at the extreme end of the scale. Most GPs have between 15k to 30k on the clock. On average they go for around 15/16k.
Lowest I've seen was around 10k, but that had been around the world a few times.
Not really, no.

Mustang or Corvette, for the smile they WILL put on your face
Bwhahaha this makes me laugh.
Oh how I thought the roads in the UK were bad in places grumble grumble etc etc until I moved here.
The UK road network is amazing in its overall high quality for the surface and signage.

I know where my money would be going if I had 20k. Something like this..

£20k gets you a brilliant Boxster S as well.
If you can live with the looks, epic car with epic engine. If you thought M3 repair/parts bills were bad, better get some KY jelly in.
You know your BMW's so no need to preach but check tyres are new and brake parts are fresh as there's a few grand tucked away there if replacements are due.
Getting a 2 year AUC warranty? If not on offer, push for it if you go for one of them.
Mk2 Focus RS??
I know it's a Ford but it's a damn capable one
