To Be Or Not To Be-EVO vs. M3
I've always like the M-serious bimmers, but after owning an Evo I would never trade it for a BMW. It's less expensive to maintain, better performance, less expensive to mod, and also holds my family. 
the intial cost is obvious, thats not the problem. at the end of every month you know what ur insurance is going to be and you what the car payment will be.
do you have enough money to fix anything else? im sure the motor is probably 10k
tranny is probably 5k, just guessing.... everything is probably double...
the non-hidden costs what kills. i got the evo for 32, but i've spent probably 3000 on maintnence maybe more..... i didnt realize a clutch is 1500 then another 500 to put it in... rotors are 500, pads are 250.... the m3 is probably double...

You are making a switch from one performace car to another for what? to get away from cops and tickets?? I don't think this would be a good move at all. I would get a Scion if you don't want cops to give you hassle. I am not joking. I've owned E46 M3 modified and I truley loved every thing about that car. It's very tempting to own a performance car and not utilize it's capeablitlies when sitting behind the wheels. . You can't just sit in a room and not do anything with a naked girl standing infront of you would you? Thank God for radar detector which saved my *** so many times. You really need to see for yourself what you want to do..
Don't need a car to get *****
. I could drive a pinto and get *****. I would stick with the evo. BMW stands for Break My Wallet. Lets face it, this kid would probably mod it, then you are talking big bucks. maintanence is a ***** in BMW's

It is really a personal opinion. Insurance on both is going to be expensive. If your mods are only going to be Dinan Chip and Intake then I would go with the M3 especially since Dinan stuff does not void the M3 warranty. It is really up to you. I have always loved the M3 and almost got one, but I love my Evo and am happy with my choice. If you want a comfortable daily driver and don't plan on having a highly modified car running super car numbers then go with the M3. Just my .02
ok i work at a BMW dealership... if ur going to buy something THAT new i would go with the 335i... or if ur a Big Balla... you should wait and buy the new V8 yes i said V8 M3 that is coming sooon...
