[QUOTE="Jipster, post: 162402, member: 97"] I dont think there is such a thing as [B]better[/B] in this case. They are both different [I]and[/I] evenly matched at the same time. But if cost is a factor, the M40 has the advantage because petrol consumption on the M20B20 is pretty bad if you ask me. The slight premium you pay for the B20s road tax is also another thing to consider. But for everything else I think they are pretty evenly matched. The 2 extra cylinders on the B20 doesnt really get you very much LOL. They are also different enough because the B20 is a six pot and correct me if I am wrong but if you are after the coupe shape its probably easier to get one in B20 form. For some people these are must haves. My 2cents.... find the best car your budget will allow regardless of whether it is an M40 or M20 and go from there. If you are into real performance.... they are both ultimately the [B]wrong choice[/B]..... you want the B25 or the M50/52 then..... in which case you'd better start a new thread :D Regards M20B20 driver [/QUOTE]
