and photoshop the mods? me too:happydance:

I dont know about the M3, I had a 2002 330CI for the past 2 years, bought it with 54,000 miles and sold it recently with aprox 76,000 miles.

we had to replace a gasket (known issue with 3 series that are aging) brakes and a gas cap. cost for the gas cap and gasket work where typical for the industry. brakes, done by bmw, expensive but other then that car was perfect and one of the if not the best driving car we have ever owned.

The M4 have had it for a few months now, have 2800 miles on it. it is awesome, very quick and a head turner for sure. people actually chase my wife into stores to tell her how cool her car is. that wont happen with a stock Z

its new so we have the service plan with it, so for the next 6 years its maint free.:tup:

we almost bought a M3 convertible btw, a silver 2012, we test drove it, sounds amazing. but when the wife compared the two side by side she had to have the M4

thats the life... you get hte z she gets the m4... :shakes head:

ive had an ugly greasy dood walk into the gas station store just to tell me my car is awesomebro. and my Z is completely stock..........

jlo owns a cave though.

I've driven the E92 and yes it's faster, smoother and the more sophisticated car all around. My problem is used. In my experience with owning a variety of different used cars, 50% were great & 50% were more trouble & expeses than they were worth.

Thank goodness as I've aged, so has my wisdom and assets, thus no more used car purchases for me. I'm willing to purchase a lesser car new, than an older, better performing car which has the potential of being a ticking time bomb of expenses.

Both cars are great performers so good luck on your choice. By the way, I voted Nismo.

Yea, Nismo.

ummmm dont feel bad for me, look at my build ;)


I have raced 2 M4's in Mexico with my Z, I have nothing to fear:driving:

and it is wonderful :tiphat:

I should mention I would much rather drive an M3 or M4 over a stock Z. but with the extra power and suspension work, my Z is a far more fun vehicle to drive

Legit m2 should be out next year...

This is partly true.. Yes, there are manufactures that make exhaust kits for the M3 that are 3,4,5, even 8 or 10 grand for a system, but there are also good kits out there for $1500. Not to mention that at the other end of the spectrum, the 370 has exhaust systems that are 3 and 4 grand if you wanna pay for the quality of Meisterschaft or Akrapovic.. Either way, i would probably still go with the M3. If you can afford it, there's so many things that make that an awesome car. cough cough V8 cough cough :tup:

On a seperate note.. Jlo.. If you DO win the lotto, you better hit me up to buy parts for that beast! :happydance:

My Z money not enough?:icon18:

Of course! Just wanted you to know we specialize in BMW also. Matter of fact, thats probably the number 1 vehicle that we sell parts for.

On a side note... Did you get your M3 with their 17 speaker upgraded sound system? That thing is RE-DIK-YOU-LUS!!
