So the M3 with all of its merits is very mundane?
No, it's a good car, just seems to run counter to a lot of what r0tor likes about the 8. It's (comparatively) heavy, lumpy power delivery, less than great exhaust note, unsorted suspension, quasi cynical corporate money grab and dilution of the ///M badge

I'm guessing you haven't actually driven a new M3 comp package... It's non of those things

To Sporty's original options I'd probably spend my money on the 991. I also like the Tesla but here it is about 50K mor expensive than a 991S. The E63S is a great option too.

And about that M3. The Comp Pack is excellent, what an M3 should be. It's the best M car available today IMO. A friend has one and I have driven it on and off track quite a bit.

I'm thinking if you drove one we'd have heard about it. In any case the comp package is not the only M3

I love the 8.  It's extremely 1 dimensional in many ways though.  While it's seating gives it some flexibility, it's ultra hyper personality doesn't.

What I love the most about the M3 is it's flexibility.  It can be a weapon on the track.  It can be a great cruiser just as easily.  No problem going to get groceries and blowing by people on the way or fitting the family.  Love the somewhat simplistic interior and aggressive exterior.



Jesus, buy an m3 already.

Sell him yours


For someone so obsessed with M3s he doesn't seem very interested in actually buying one. Highly suspicious.

It's impossible to argue with Raza. He wins. Period. End of discussion.

I think my last pick would be the GT-R. On the street, all the other cars are as fast, and either much nicer or much more fun to drive. It should be like 1/2 its price.

Ummm... I did M School and a BMW Track Day this year... They just might use M cars there
