I have had my Evo for 7 months. I love the car to death, I have dropped some serious mods into the car and have made some friends along the way as well. My dad is selling his 2002 M3 for another ride or selling it to me for what he still owes on the loan. (38k) I don't see another opportunity like this comming around any time soon but just wanted to get your opinoins on this because i respect the opinoins on this forum, should I do this? keep in mind this means selling the evo as it stands right now?
You can see both cars at

how much do you owe on your evo? then we'll answer

 

I have to say it's a okay deal. I had a NSX and sold it for the evo but did look at the M3 and M5. They are different cars and I really liked the EVO better. They wife thought I was crazy because I liked it better but it's my car. M3 is a good car but someone like me who can have the M3 or the Evo I would still say evo. When I have 350whp from the Vishnu stage1+ for under 3k you will be thinking evo. I do track days with the BMWCCA all the time and they are super cool but it's just not my kinda car. Also you can find a clean M3 for about 44ish so it's 6k cheaper good deal but not a great deal. I think you will see a lot of people say "Your stupid if you don't get the M3" But these will be the people that can not have the M3.

 

man... i wish i had your problems.

 

The M3 has only 16,000 miles on it, I have done the maintenance for the car as well so to me,, it is like brand new.. and my dad does not beat on it. hell he thinks pushing it in 1st gear is "bad for the car" BUT I LOVE MY EVO... and my evo is faster too!!!

 

It's your call, 40k is 10k over what you owe now as well. I don't know what you money situation is but think about this, it the M3 10,000 better then the evo? Take the Badge off and it looks like any other 3 series.

 

ohh. i owe 17 on my evo after my last trade in for the evo..... mods on the M3 include rear strut bar, front strut bar, K40 laser diffuser plus system (1400$) and the car was fully loaded,, money wise it is the deal of a life time,, but Im hashing out if I can part with an evo i have dropped over 8k into

 

I just took my vishnu stage 1+ <2K in mods (no TB just a buschur cat delete and axle back) on a country road run. The car is a frenzied animal!! It kicks the crap out of my stage 5+ Wrx and absolutely destroys the real estate. Im in actual love not lust but love. I cant say enough good things about it and the power is MASSIVE in all RPM ranges and past redline. I made *****es out of all m3s and M5 sat the track They can peal my tightly clenched butt from the americanized recaros for anything less than a Ptt- Pass on that M3 and get a stage 1+!!

 

I beat my friends M3 at the track. Also a 2002
M3 on a loan is worth nothing. By the time you pay off the loan you will have loss soo much money in the long run! Your friends dad is ripping you. Call your local BMW dealer if you do not think so!

 

umm.. no you don't get it.. the m3 is on loan, because my dad is paying for it on loan... he ows 38k on it.. he will sell me the car for 38k. I will come up with the money from my own car loan. and pay off the 38k.. at the end.. the title is in my posession. Just like any other car loan!

 

There is nothing to gain from getting that M3 other than a gold digging tramp to sit beside you- Id be better off dead. Are you concered about that m3 spinning the bearings Or the super high bmw tunups? Or that it lacks to the EVO in almost every performance category? If not its a good deal- BTW used z06s go for less than 38K all the time

 

I LIKE YOUR POINT!!!!!

 

can't you keep both...?

sell a kidney or something...

 

Diesel,, I wish i could.. looking at your clean pics you just posted makes me want to keep my black evo!!!! Besides,, when im 50 i can get an M3 right!!??

 

RIGHT!!!

M cars are great! But, I am sure you will have more fun in your Evo. I can't wait to get my hands on one. It will serve as my people pusher, daily driver, and track car. I can't wait.
