M3 is nice for show imo, its like a status symbol oh you drive a BMW blah blah etc.
Now when you drive a EVO its like ” how much hp you got?” people always thinks we're ricer's automaticly! Simple EVO> m3

They are gonna give you about 17 for your car and then try to sell if for about $26,000 or so. Just keep the nine bro I'm about 2-5 years you could sell it for about 30,000 if the miles stay down.

Let me know what you what for your Evo and I'll take her off your hands!

For real though the Evo is a true work of art! It handles in all situations you put it in, not to mention the weather. Have fun trying to drive a M3 in the snow.

I drive both on a regular basis and I would never pick the M over the Evo if I had a choice. But what I want may not be what you want out of a car.

After 50k German cars need lots of maintenance. Even if you do it yourself lots of special tools are generally required. Parts are expensive and, Most shops are $90-$110 per hour. I've never owned a BMW but several Audi's and I'd take any Evo 6,7,8,9,10 over an M3 any M3.

to beat an E46 on the straights all you have to do is learn how to drive your car. EVO IX's are faster than E46's in the corners and the straights. I wouldn't trade an EVO IX MR for an E46...no chance

i wouldnt because of such low mileage on your evo. the m3 is a nice car but you wont be able to find one with matching mileage for an e46.
theres even a kid around where i live thats selling an e46 m3 for 11k. but it does have 110k miles.
m3 is more of a cool car. cool to be in, cool to drive. the look is great
the evo has the "im a racer" kid like attitude when u see one.
