What M3 to buy is a heavily debated and well-covered area. This comparison less so but it’s a topical dual given current prices. Love for the E9x V8 M3 has strengthened over the last 18-months and those £10k leggy coupés seem to be a thing of the pas

Consider the tractors that were available in the 1960s and it’s clear that technological advances had been made in the 15-20 years that had gone before. The three-point linkage was not only ensconced in tractor design, but the control the operator ha
