E36 M3 or EVO...?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i will be in the market for a new car soon and i really really want another E36. but, i also think an Evo would be a fun car to have.

Used Evo w/ less than 30k miles = $22-25k
'98-'99 M3 w/ less than 60k miles = $18-20k

Stock the Evo its already a whole second faster in the 1/4 mile, and has so much more hp potential with mods, making it very tempting.

The M is a "BMW" , but its expensive to mod / fix. and you get more positive attention in an M3 than and Evo, especially from the females

 

Hey i had the same problem when i was buying mine. I chose the evo, couldnt be happier!

 

I to was looking to bye a 98-99 M3 but I'm glad I didnt. Nothing compares to the Evo in my opinion.

 

EVO...i have 2 friends with E36 m3's who always talk about trading in for an EVO cause they are jealous......

 

Just to let you know it says Evo VII on the thread. I would have to say Evo VII over anything, but Evo VIII still over an M3. M3 is so impracticle, plus it will be slower.

 

On an Evolution website, the answer should be obvious.

 

Also, the m3 is too flashy smashy for me. If you want something flashy, get 2003, 04 max EVO, then spend the money you saved (if it was a new m3) and buy a 2003 or 04 GSXR or something.

 

If you are judging only on fun to drive, the EVO hands down. Go drive them both and make a decision. I considered a slightly used 02 when I got my EVO and I'm glad I didn't choose the BMW. In the end, there was no comparison when driving and I wasn't buying for image.

 

If it was an e46, my vote would swing differently.

Get the evo.

i wish E46 M3... still too pricey, you're talkin $30k+

 

duh, evo...but if you dont have many friends and want to attract some with an M3, we'd all understand

 

Get a used 03 Evo with a 2005 GSXR used with 2k miles for under 30k total.

 

 

I've traded my E36M for my 03 Evo . No comparason between the cars in terms of performance. The E36M3 is a great performing car for it's time and that's all i can say.

 

E46 maybe but definitely not E36.
