2004 BMW M3 or 2005 Lancer Evo MR?

I honestly don't think this thread needs to get any longer! The guy already bought the MR! Congrats man. Well anyone saying that the M3 is better ride or quality is a stupid ***. My mother has had one and when I would visit her(in the military) I would abuse the **** out of it!!!!) The car doesn't feel stronger than my evo. I have a intake, and that is it. I have raced many of Bmw's a lot of officers on my boat bought them thinking it was so badass and started talking **** b/c I talked about my car alot soon as we got in port it was a whole other story, well my tranny is slipping or i wasn't racing, well to all you fans of the m3 you don't rev till your exhaust rattles at a stop light when you don't plan to get on it. End of story you got a great car. Enjoy it! I will be the one of the cars you will tell your kids about..

The EVO is more race inspired and the M3 is more like a heavier still sporty looking sedan but focused more in luxury than racing.
My brother has a 03 SMG convertible M-3 and he also just sold a 98M-3 dinan supercharger M-3, again, I think that the two cars are intended for 2 different owners group. The EVO is a much more affordable car for the fun, the M-3 not all of us can afford it.
Ultimately the 01' up newer M-3 was only not even 1/10th quicker than the previous European 94-01 M-3 E-46 bodystyle rated at 321hp, actually the 97 year was the upgrade in Europe from 286 to 321hp and 5 speed to 6 speed.
Anyway, if you have the green, yeah the M-3 is nicer but not quicker on the track than a MR. The EVO has more potential for upgrades too.
my .50c
