Now if your 'option happy' and don't mind getting ripped off you'll buy one for more.

I wonder what that Yukon pulling the trailer has under the hood in the 2nd pic. Looks like he's pulling on both you and the Viper.

I didn't read the whole thread, all I read was the last 2 pages. It blurred into 1 big blah blah blah. The Viper looks great though. I don't think anyone really needs pics of your M3. Glad you like it though, have fun.

sorry for coming off to strong in my opinion.
As for my car it is a convertible with a DCT tranny.
White and red interior.
has every option you can get along with upgraded rims, navi, tech pack, carbon int trim,prem pack, prem sound, blue tooth, sat radio, keyless entry (comfort access)
that is what they go for in the high 70's. not 70.

I am coming from a leased bmw 335i sedan that I had chipped by eurobhan turbo tuner, I must say my 335 had balls for what it was. I rode it on the track many times, and none of the fbodys kept upw ith me thru the corners, on the straight the vettes embarrassed me though lol posted pics but decided I should remove them.

mricky - that viper was a 2006 with 10k miles and it was his first track day in my group, group D - he totalled out the car on the second day going through RA's infamous 'kink"

that is bare bones minimum. look at those wheels

with options, taxes etc etc its in the high 60's for a coupe.
my 08 335 sedan was 50k sticker fully loaded w/every option.
The camaro is neat but to me and again TO ME it looks like a cartoon car like a bloated car or something to goofy looking imo.
and whoever said an m3 doesnt turn heads??? LOL c'mon now.

So you're bragging about your fully loaded $70k+ m3 against a 36k camaro? Why don't you compare your m3 to... say the... HPE550? or HPE650... Oh wait... Yeah your m3 would get destroyed by a $60k camaro.

So how does it feel that you paid a huge amount for a marginally good car that can't outperform other cars in its price range?

I would argue that's what you did, when you say you paid $44k for yours.

How does it feel? (of course I am comparing to the GT500)

I'd be careful. A Camaro SS is faster than a E93 M3.

That doesn't make your logic any less flawed.

Hypocrisy is hilarious

My nephew showed me this and I had to laugh. you cannot compare the ultimate driving machine to a rattle box camaro. why do you think they are under 40k? because they are made like shit. please dont insult a weapon like an m3.

WOW overpaid, I paid 94,000 for my M6 brand new and we all know the M6 is king not little little brother M3. You got ripped off maybe I should give you my dealers name and number.

Damn I can't believe you paid that much.

M6 is king of the grand touring coupes... M3 is a sports car. I'd take the M3. But that's just me.

Very true, but I still think he paid to much for it even with the options. You can get deals on these cars. I know I did.

Also let me add I love the scream of the v10. so sexy.

returnofcc · 12-07-2009, 03:03 PM

Yea, but he got the convertible. It really doesn't matter, both cars have their pros, but performance wise, the M3 is the best probably...

Brother in law has an 08' M5. That thing makes the sexiest sounds........

It's the best track car. But wait until you've felt the power behind a 500hp 8500rpm V10.......................................

MrIcky · 12-07-2009, 03:03 PM

Hmmmm, there's a lot of rumors out that BMW owners are kinda jerks. Then I heard the only difference between a regular BMW owner and an M owner is you remove the 'kinda'. Wonder how those rumors got started?

And how would you feel paying 60k for a plastic box with an engine?
See, two can play at this game. Why are you comparing the two, one's an exotic, one's a muscle car...
