Just curious, how many miles are on the M3?
Do M3s have significant/expensive issues outside of their warranty period? I've always been worried about that but I see some people driving them around town. |

Wow, I wish. I would most likely do the VT1 535 kit....if I did. Won't bee anytime soon though. I will add ESS tune and test pipe to get a little more power out of her. She has some excellent pickup as is...couldn't imagine with a VF620. |

Well FWIW, that particular car is an incredible machine and an overall incredible value for what you get... but at the same time; someone who is looking to purchase an M5, M3 or M6 shouldn't exactly be cross shopping because these cars are not competitors nor where they ever meant to be. A BMW is a luxury vehicle; a GTR is a track monster... 2 different cars for 2 different purposes and pending on what a person values, compromises have to be made either way.

You really live and learn with cars. Over a 4 year period I went through 7 cars and wasn't satisfied. I moved to BMWs and went through an E46 M3, E86 M, and E92 M3 and honestly of the 3 the Z4MC looked the best and now can't wait to get out of my E92 M3. I thought it would grow on me but for me and my tastes I can't get past its standard plain looks so hopefully I can trade it in this weekend. I want performance and looks. The M3 for me has the performance but lacks in the look department. I need both. Some will disagree but we all have our own needs/wants/preference.
I am looking at the following cars this weekend: 2011 Lotus Evora 2011 Porsche Cayman R 2008 Porsche Cayman S 2010 BMW 1M 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo I would have never gone Ford. Been there done that but I went though some crazy cars myself and kick myself for losing some money but learning the car so it was a trade off pretty much. Nice to see you are in a great color M3. I think you made the right choice FOR YOU.

Not a fan of M3s, but Interlagos Blue (that's what it is, right?) turns it into a whole new car. Very rare. Never seen one before in this color.
