"...nothing can touch BMW's mastery of refining and redefining the entire performance envelope. This is one of the few performance cars that can triumph at weekend track days and still carry four friends in perfect comfort and luxury to an evening movie. It's as at home tearing up a winding mountain road as it is commuting on the freeway. The M3 is elegant and powerful, and it does its job at a comfort level not many cars can match." - Popular Mechanics Magazine, after awarding the 2008 BMW M3 it's "Performance Vehicle of the Year" award The BMW M3 has made Car & Driver's annual "Ten Best" list a record NINETEEN TIMES. In 2006, it was the "World Car of the Year" at the New York Auto Show. Various M3 motors, including the e46 and e90 models, have won "engine of the year" awards numerous times. Car & Driver gave the E92 M3 a 5-star rating and said that it's "perhaps the best car on the planet." Troll somewhere else you fucking goon. |
Considering how much value bmws lose over time(perhaps anything else) is a very good indication of why people are willing to unload them cheap. No it's not because they are all ballers and want the latest and greatest but rather the cost of upkeep in general. Sure you may know an m3 that has gone 1 million miles with nothing but oil changes but that doesn't change what the majority of owners experience. I never said a rsx would "feel" better than an m3 just the fact that your 25k bargain would have problems passing a rsx. So when you take the companies "ultimate driving machine" slogan and bang for the buck together it just does not work. Of course posers will hate that for 25k you cant' really have the ultimate driving machine but hey obviously a few of you are convinced that possible. Quote:

that is quite wrong actually... most first hand buyers paid 100k for the m3's (could buy a townhouse in richmond back then around '02), and i really doubt the cost of upkeep is significant especially after the 4 year warranty. My inspection II costed nearly 2k, and the tires costed about 2.5k. So it costs about 2k per year. in fact all the e46 m3 owners i know moved on to the new m3, m5, m6, maserati, r8, etc quickly after each appeared |

Find me a $90,000 performance car (a la M3) that doesn't cost more to maintain than a $35,000 economy-oriented Honda. Your stupidity knows no bounds. |

Obviously not fast enough for the average hamfisted driver to be able to make the most out of that engine to pass a rsx on the highway. But hey bmw's are only driven by "ultimate drivers":rofl: So if you have say a less than M series bmw then damn u better watch out! Getting clowned by hondas all day! Quote:

You say the M3 is a toy car, but your car examples are even less practical and usable. As great of a car the NSX is, it is a difficult car to drive in the city....rearward vision is a nightmare, clutch and window regulators are huge money.....looks great, but compared to modern cars, it has allot to be desired. |

since when a DC5 able to out run a m3? even with I/RH/E kproed i know with my current new setup i can beat a 350z, but highly doubt a m3 dude |
Quote:
I understand fully that if need be you could drive the M3 daily (Compared to a highly modified car which will be less reliable). Also don't get me wrong that I really like the E46 M3. If I was going to own one though I would drive it like a toy. On the weekend, couple times to work, and on the track. Same with NSX or any other "Sports car". That's why I would opt for something else that I really like. |
^its a pretty good daily driver overall... its comfortable, and arguing snow and towing capabilities isnt really fair for any sports car |

lol why would i wonna embarrass myself :rofl::rofl::rofl: 2nd and 3rd i can keep up, 4th i'd get pulled away thats the result i seen for most cases kproed ones...not too sure fairly interesting. im kproed...so i dont know... |
if I had 25Kish...id import a decent condition 91-92 NSX from the states |
^ get ready to spend $10K to get it running properly.... |
Quote:
plus its a honda...it isnt gonna take 10K to run |
^ do you know window regulators on the NSX are a common problem? they probably cost $100 on a Civic, but for the NSX...it is $2K for a special cable system. Do some research before you talk nonsense. Sure, a nice condition, low KMs NSX will run well...but if you want to buy a NSX for $21-$25K...it is going to beat to shit....why do you think people sell their NSX so cheap? they want to good guys?.. nice ones go for $40-$60K |
Can we just close this thread? I can't even believe we're talking about RSX vs M3.. You have a higher chance at seeing a triple rainbow than beating an M3 in an RSX. |

^ plus the chassis and body are made of aluminum, try getting your NSX fixed at your local body shop..... |

Anything in the 20-35k range is shit.. high milleage, no service history, snap-range (sp??) etc.. Good luck keeping a NSX on the road with the mentality that it'll cost the same as an SI (even a S2k costs a lot more than a SI) |
For $25k I would look for a 2002/2003 E39 M5 from the States with full service history and slap on a tubi exhaust... "NA is best" |
