screw the evo and the m3. get the new style m5 7-speed 500 hp heaven.
but between the m3 and evo.. i'd go with evo. everyone who sees your car on the road will drop their jaw. its probably a nice feeling

Id have to say that both cars are pretty awesome and that you will be happy with either one. Just depends on what you want more.
If your more into styling, status symbols, resale value, etc, the M3 is your car. (Maybe hold out for the new M4?)
If you really want a FAST MODDED car, slightly better handling, and don't mind paying for repairs off warranty/out of pocket as well as having a "ricer" car, get the evo.
DO NOT mod an M3. Period. Add more than 20 hp to that engine and it will blow very soon. The motor comes so close to the edge of failure right from the factory its frightening and beautiful at the same time. But, if the engine fails b/c of mods, BMW will f you over and youl wind up paying 20k for a new engine and owning a car without warranty. Thats not good for BMW resale. Ive heard they are harder on mods than mitsu.
Also, if my price range went up into the 60's id be looking at more than just these 2 cars... The new C6 vette is pretty nice, and the new Skyline should be here in a year or two if you can wait that long. M5 is pretty nice, but i think they are close to 90k.
And dont ask yourself which one will get more girls. Any girl that will pay attention to you b/c of your car is not worth 5 minutes of your time in the first place. Just MO. Rule of thumb, gils dig cool cars, but not always the guys driving them.

Where do you people live at? I see only 1 evo every month and maybe 1 M3 a month. And that's usually only when I pass either dealership. Pittsburgh sucks.

im my skyline everything is the other way around, i have the signal on the right part of the steering wheel, the button to pop the hood is on the passenger side, the button on my automatic stick is on the right side, on the power windows, the buttons are also the other way around, top right button opens the drivers window.,
