Where are you located. If your in SOCAL I can arrange a test drive for you and try to work out the best price for you.

I think you'll love the MR.

pasyalan po ninyo ako para sa magandang usapan.....

GET M3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you will get tired of the phhhhhhhhhhssssssss sound AND the turbo
both have speed and power and handling. i daily drive my evo to work, i drive alot 35k in a year ............... anyways, if you really gonna mod your car, eventualy it will give you headache. even if you mod your car, there's still gonna have those #$%@#$^ domestic muscle car that will be faster than you. ( not if you get a bigger turbo which i don't think you will for a daily commuter) M3 is more comfortable AND POWERFUL. stock cars both are dead even. of course turbo car will have much more potential if you modify it.
rear wheel drive have more fun.
if you just focus of power, then evo will give you a little more, and M3 definitly WOULD make you TOTALLY HAPPY too.
if i were to choose it again, i would have bought the M3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
evo is great, i love it. yet i would prefer M3 if i can choose
M3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

yeh so TRUE...everyone who sees your car on the road will drop their jaw, but you forgot one thing....ALL OF THEM ARE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS!!!!!!!!!!! they would do some insane stuff, on highway, they will literally get almost half of their body out the window and get you 2 thumbs up, but that would end up embrass YOU. funny how my gf said, "see all you attrack are those 16 year old high school kids"
M3 has power, fun, luxury, AND class.

m3... cannot compromise comfort and the occasional road trip, even if it's not as fast as the evo

actually no, that was i really like, the pssshhhh and the pop (when i remove my cat). i will also enjoy modding the car. but i truly agree with you that the m3 is very comfortable, i have ridden in one before, and it is just super fast!

i think still that the best thing to do is to test drive both,

If you're going to get an M3, it better be an E30 M3, not the hairdresser E36 and the porky E46 M3.

'04 M5? The last year of production for the E39 M5 was June 2003, and they have 400HP, not 370.

maybe you should get some real mods like boost controller, cams, & exhaust. you may be singing a different tune afterwards. I've driven an e46 m3 and then an evo w/ 330whp back to back and the m3 feels so weak and boring.

[QUOTE=chizcwish74]

1. i want a sportier look, and i am in more for speed. for the MR, i will enjoy modding the car, and upgrading the turbo. bmws will be difficult to mod, let say for example the exhaust, which willl cost more than a grand. i also like the turbocharger, having a BOV that goes "psssshhh."

- Get the MR



2. mitsubishi might be going down (i heard that there are two dealerships around my area that are closing). plus, evos are kinda crappy in the interior on the inside. also, not to mention the maintenance of the car, like the clutch that i heard is weak.

- Get the M3



3. M3's are way more common than evos, and MRs will be way more rare. driving down the road, you may see 2 or 3 M3s, but you will only see an evo once every week.

- Get the MR



4. M3's will have a better resale value than the MR. i heard from these forums that the price of the evos depreciate too much,

- Get the M3




i thkn the best thing to do is really go take a test drive of both. right now, i am leaning more towards the MR still, but im still taking into consideration the M3, which I will have enough cash for.

- Get the Mr


and the tally is


MR = 3
M3 = 2

-Get the limited MR that you wanted from more than a year and start modding the beast. Cause when you are older will you be able/ want to mod like you can now?

Who said the Evo has horrible depreciation? You know what '01 and '02 M3's are going for these days??

Hell, an '03 M3 goes for mid 40's, and it was $60,000 NEW!!!

i'd say go with m3. That's a better car for comfort/performance/luxury.
