i like the e46 m3.

many think of it as the rich kids sports car, but it's got some aggresive lines, and the performance is great.

if you have the money, go for it.

dude, m3...drooooooool. one of my favorite cars. maybe not the recent bodies, but they're still all great. it's a bimmer dude!

What is there to think about? It's an awesome car, if you can afford it. DO IT!

obviously everyone loves the M3, but i say dont do it!! the M3 is amazing sports machine, dont get me wrong, but it doesnt take anyone special to make an M3 fast...it IS a rich kids sports car. stay in the familia and go get an RX-8

 

[smo0f]

'rich kids sports car' who cares. you buy a car for the car not for other people's personal opinions about your character. and oh no, what if they do think someone who drives an m3 is rich? blasphemy. your future is tarnished. k i took this way too far.

lol... if you can afford it and it's insurance, i say go for it. the M3 is an awsome car.

Is this even a question? DO IT

woot nice, i'm following right behind ya! giving my protege to my sister soon and gonna go for the 04 M3! gonna be sweet!

 

[winty87]

Yes, Why would anybody question this?

 

[LaserBlueMSP]

well i pretty much decided after i got the ins quote it was only $20 more per month than the msp and that meant nothing to me. i can afford the car but i wanna hold out for a great deal. plus sell my msp. im impatience tells me to buy the first one i see that i somewhat like but i have to be patient and wait any other good search engines other than autotrader and ebay?

If u can afford to fix it when something goes wrong, go for it. Parts for that car are NOT cheap at all.......if u can get some kind of extended warranty on that beast, id say do it.


Protege Parts = Cheap

M3 Parts = $Money$

pffttt rich kids car, 90% of m3 buyers at our bmw store are not kids. and i wouldnt get a rx8. same money and you get a slow ass car that if you mod to make fast, you will be puttin new motors in it.

here's a tip, stay away from mazdas for a while..

 

[MikeAwesome42]

haha, well, here in boston, the majority of the guys i see driving M3's ARE spoiled rich kids, i live right in between Boston College and Boston University, and it seems like the only fast car these kids know about is the M3. dont get it twisted, i love the M3 as much as the next guy, i guess im just a little jaded by it. if it was me, id rather go for something with a little more character

The majority of DRIVERS between BC and BU are rivch spoiled kids...

ANYWAY, stick with the MSP, it OWNS the M3, can beat it in any performance area:
- Stereo does fancy tricks -> MSP
- Front wheel drive snow traction -> MSP
- Reasonably low maintenance -> MSP
- Sparco pedal covers -> MSP
- Autocross handling -> MSP

NOW... if you want DYNAMIC performance, and have a fat wallet (and patience when she breaks), get the M3. What others think about you doesn't matter.

Don't search exclusively on Autotrader, find a BMW bulletin board like this one and you can buy from an enthusiast!

 

[spike blue]

well youre right i will keep the msp and save money to a better car in the future!!! I love the M3 but thats really expensive

lol i have they are on crack they think its made of gold and want too much the maintenence thing doesnt really bother me(it does just not alot ) my uncle is a bmw/audi certified mechanic i would get everything at cost and minimal labor the hard part is being patient waiting for a good deal cause if i wanted to be stupid i could go buy one tomorrow but i would regret it later

i loooove the M3s oh man it's my dream car any body type it does not matter, i want to be rich dammit

I have always been dazzled by the M3 it is a car i would love to own, honestly i test drove a 330 ci with the M sport package... it was a thrill to drive. Only downers are like everyone else says is the repair costs, now their new vehicles have amazing service policies, and they don't break often... My dad used to own a 540i fast ass car and when you take it to bmw for just an oil change... they treat it like a baby, check everything, clean it out and wash it so its nice and brand new looking. Honestly right now i could afford to go with an M3 and maybe soon i will but i do value the MSP and how One of a kind it is... i mean if you sit and think about it, we have a "limited production" car! Even though it seems like the msp is a little weak in some aspects i love the car, and would be like shooting me in the foot if i traded it. Bascially, I love both cars its hard to choose but right now i will stay with the msp as well.

I also think its funny how alot of members here are bmw fans... I have talked to a few others and everyone who owns a msp seems to love the bmw m3's and like i said i have wanted one for years lol. Well just wanted to put my two cents in.
