I feel bad for you still... because it's ONLY 523 hp. come on man... what is that?




in all seriousness I love the c63 and the 14 c-series. the new c-series look like the acura RL... disgusting taillights and absolutely disgusting looks. I rather drive a kia

wait no I take that back.

Easy, M3. Drive my buddy's e92 M3, it's not even in the same league.

ouchie, just went to the BMW USA site, CPO warranty is for 6 years or 100,000 miles whichever comes first. Depending on original purchase date, you could be covered for awhile. This could make the E92 more attractive.

DOOMMONKEY777

Yep. Attractive to keep it stock.

my $.02 I was in the same boat as you:
CPO is basically "no warranty", if you get an E92 which is a hell of a car, you must get a good warranty, whatever goes wrong with the car will not be covered by CPO, it's a joke. Maintenance is very high, very high, I bought aftermarket warranties for all BMWs I've ever owned, worked out great, all repairs done at BMW.

The Z is a killer sports car, the M3 is not a sports car, far from, and sitting in it feels like a truck once you get used to sitting low to the ground. I truly don't recommend buying new cars, you lose your butt in depreciation, I would much rather get maybe a 2011-12 Nismo for under $30k and do some upgrades. I personally like to mod Japanese cars and leave German cars stock, it's already a b*tch to keep up with the maintenance of a German car.

As for speed, stuff on paper means nothing, I embarrass people driving M3s, GTRs, 911s, etc. it comes down to your driving skills, not to mention a Z with a good suspension setup can out handle anything.

Lastly, consider buying 2 cars, I personally don't like all-purpose anything

CPO e92 M3 with extended warranty then sell it before the warranty expires

Wow now there's people in here saying the Z embarrasses m3 vettes and stangs and can out handle anything... I would love to see this question asked on neutral forum. It would be a landslide picking m3

kenchan

you should get the m3 cause you match bimmer profile perfectly.

ouchie

Wow... Now I am more confused

mishuko

you are getting fairly neutral comments that are very informative. you need to do a lot of research and DD...

Never let the warranty roll over or you are certfied - F'd.

My friend bought a 2012 M3, 6 speed manual a few months ago. 35K on the odometer for $40,000. Its quick too. Though how much quicker than a new 2015 NISMO...I bet its closer than you think. I like it. I dont love it. The interior is awful, other than the seats. Oh, its been in the shop longer than its been in his driveway. Id never buy a used M3. Ever.
