It may not, since they also have a 4 door bimmer, so pretty sure it will be like "sports coupe". When I had 350z, they put my car as coupe, since 350z had convert.

Edit: humm my post kinda confuse...lol

When i bought Z, insurance told me that i was lucky that company put them a seperate insurance rate for 350z. Mine was coupe and i believe convert was little more than my coupe. I don't work for insurance, so i can not give you any comment on that. But you should contact with your local agent, since every state has diff rate. Btw, at that time i had an insurance with allstate ( NY/MI )

I made my decision and it's the M3/4/5 to whom it may concern. Thanks for the help and putting up with this dumb thread, I hate threads like this as much as the rest of you but I needed it

That Mid 90's M3 is one of the best handling cars ever made period. That being said some Minivans sold today would beat it in a straight line.

I just want the VIII. But then again there is something about that 1998 M3/4/5. Four doors, Five speed. A subtle sport sedan that can more than handle its own. There's just something about the luxury that BMW offers. There isn't too much on the inside of the evo besides the seats and steering wheel.. and its not the most comfortable ride for a daily driver. The bimmer is an upscale interior with a solid motor.

I don't know, convince me?
just get the bimmer... ur obviously not ready for an evo.

The M3's are nice vehicles, I prefer the e46 over the e36. The e36 should be a bit cheaper, but the Evolution will go faster for less money and still have that new car feel.

Good Luck!

Michael

you're ridiculous man, real clever copy and pasting the private message. i stick by what i say though, i've got to. i must say im pretty frustrated that you decided to do that but i guess it's your only defense.. i made up my mind and i dont really need to be at this forum any longer, think what you want but at the end of the day its still just a lancer, on roids.. thats just my .02 and i apologize if you hate it. people told me as soon as i join an evo forum im going to want to get something else, and they were right.. weird.

peace evom, thanks for the help

ps. i actually almost got an evo.

[edit] lol pss. i got into your signature too! haa damn im gonna be a legend around here now

I want to see that list cause I'm intrigued how you went from a long list of these "nice" cars to a Mini Cooper S to wanting an Evo8 or E36 M3... Current value for those cars are less than a new Civic BTW.

If image is such a big deal for you, even on the internet then get the BMW. A man of your stature deserves better, a Lancer on roids is not worthy for you.
