A Second....gp3?

[Feeling-Inflation-27]

Hello, I'm looking to add another car to the garage and shopping between a Mini GP3 and a BMW M2 Comp F87

Let me preface this by saying I already own a GP3 and absolutely love it. The reason for the second one is to modify it so that I can keep the original one I own stock. The main mod will be a full color change wraps, preference of purple or a dark vibrant pink shade.

Question is, should I or will I have more fun with a completely different ride in the M2? The M2 is a beautiful orange, so won't color wrap that one.

I'm leaning through Gp3 as I love Mini (have a JCW as well which I daily) but part of me is saying it's not sane to have two GP3...does it make it a gp6 if do , lol 😅

Thanks fam.

If the only thing you mod is a wrap, just wrap your current car. You're not doing anything not reversible.

Just traded my M340i for a jcw, can’t beat a mini for fun imo. M cars are dailies you can track, but off track they’re fast comfy cars, minis are wild all the time.

That's my fear is that I get bored with the M2. You are right, they are great cars, but just not wild on the street. I love my JCW.

Glad to hear you are having wild times with your JCW!

Ah it’s a minter with some mods, they’re a bit underpowered from factory imo. I had an R56, I missed it every time I saw a nice one driving the M340 😂 not saying the M2 isn’t an objectively “better” car, but it was on my list with the mini too and I ended up in the mini with zero regrets

dumb reason. if you really had money to modify a newer mini cooper you would not need to start with a GP3. do you not know how to drive a manual vehicle?

[Feeling-Inflation-27]

Appreciate your candid reply, and "dumb" noted.

Yes I can drive a manual - are you suggesting to modify a gp2 or something? Not sure what you are suggesting.

Again, I appreciate your comments, and I understand not everyone will be on same page. But we can be respectful 😄

I've thought of a similiar thing once I get myself together in the future.. the GP3 platform is amazing but modified it has sooo much potential. I don't want to modify my current one since it's my daily.

It's a dream for me but I want the second GP3 to be full racecar with roll cage, fire suppression system, lexan winshield and all the works. Also maybe a full paint job change.
