Maybe getting back into a evo!!

Sup guys I had a evo 9 from the day I bought it in 2006 till 2011,and finally I sold it to switch things up a bit.I bought a e46 m3 fun car looks nice but really miss my evo 9..

How many would think it would be dumb to get back into a evo after a having a m3??I'm I making a dumb choice?{,s I miss the power so much I had 560 whp on pump gas}.

I traded in my first Evo (Evo 8) for a BMW 7 series. This was in 2007. Missed the Evo so much, I ended up buy an Evo 9 in 2009. Lesson learned, DON'T GET RID OF THE EVO.

Almost bought a m5 but the services are nuts,also extended warranty was 8k,,I heard there was many issues with the smg tranny's that's why I backed out of the deal..The m coupe is more fun and doesn't burn much gas.

I'll take the M3 off your hands. Only owned my evo for a few months and already got 2 tickets. 100mph + each.

Parts and maintaining an EVO are much cheaper than a BMW and you get much more power + AWD. I'd say go for it, you save money as well!

Makes me wonder whether or not I should sell my current evo. Its my 3rd one. I think of it all the time, but I know I will end up getting another one.

Maybe I should just hold onto this one.

To the op, its hard to beat an evo, for performance-cost ratio.

Agreed 100% about performance,but the interior is crap and had no high end look,but then again evo's are for racing..
