I am a first time Volvo owner as of 2/23/09. Had an M3 prior and wanted something less expensive. I bought a 2k S40 1.9t in Silver. I guess i'll post a pic later.

What year M3? Those are SWEET, but expensive as heck to service! Welcome!

 

Welcome.

 

It was a 97 with 170k on it and wanted something that was cheap to buy. reliable, low insurance and had some of the luxurys my M had.

I already have to put an axle on the s40. I miss the M3 a lot but hopefully the s40 will cost less in the long run.

 

I belive you are right. The S40 should be Wayy cheaper in the long run. You should enjoy the S, but def. cheaper!
