e92 m3 against....

castivore1 · 12-09-2018, 11:22 AM

This part of my life is called....choices...

I have the chance to choose between a 2014 235i 14k km and a 45k M3 e92 2009.

Thoughts:

M3 = Legendary V8
235i = Best modern BMW (my opinion)

I work outside the city so i plan to use the car only 6 to 8 day a month (yes work schedule)... and when i test both of em..... damn M3 calls me a lil bit.

In my country, both cars are "special" and 70% of the roads are not done for them, but ..i WANT A BMW... period (haha)

Pep around me tell me....the series 2 is more modern, almost new, you can get girls w it easily (lol), its a great machine, its a new car at half price....

I´m a car enthusiast so the V8 calls me.... but spares (maintenance) concerns me (there are some good workshops here btw)...

So now, i'm w both and asking everybody 's opinion....

What would you do in my case?

What i look for: driving experience, smiles per galoon, presence, not racing or tunning (for now), get something to spend 3+ years and not getting bored.

Thanx a lot.

I had the opportunity to drive a m240i on palm beach international raceway road course this week.

E92M3 all the way, not even close in my opinion. It’s the only BMW I would trade my E92 328i for. The only drawback is the rod bearings absolutely must be addressed, and you need to have a plan in place for that.
