No argument there. Of course I'd rather have a mint E46 M3 over both. And I wouldn't even care if the E46 M3 (bone stock) was slower. It's still bad ass and can be modded to levels the others will never obtain, thanks to limitless aftermarket parts and its worldwide popularity. A mint one can be had for less green than a 135i as well, and the difference can be used to not only give it better road manners, but put it level in acceleration with its baby brother. Best looking of the three as well. Although next to the 135i that's not saying much.

Also, it would take a lot of work (far more than just a suspension upgrade) to give an E46 M3 the improved road manners and handling of an E9X M3. Don't get me wrong. I love the E46 M3 and am not putting it down; just trying to be objective here.

Other than cost theres no reason to get a 135 over a M3? LOL. What a classic. Are you beating off over your M3 right now? |

like I said Other then COST no reason to get a 135i over an M3. Again like I said. If both cars cost the same money, NO ONE... would buy the 135i.....period. if you say you would your retarded.. please read what is written and dont try to figure out what someone is thinking. also, like I said, I love the 135i and I plan to get one.. so my comments are not negative toward that car at all.

I am the same way with the Cayman and the 997 but it's not to say I couldn't afford the other, only I would chose not to pay the extra. Though this is slightly different in that the Cayman is the better car to start with, unlike the 135i which isn't. P.S. Your comments on 'typical' M3 owner is tarring yourself with the same brush. |
