I had an 05 Evo 8.. it was the final one with the ACD and front LSD like the Evo 9. And I had a 08 Evo X. Both were very fun cars.

If this is just your weekend car which you take out the track or on fun twisty road drives - the Evo will be much more fun to drive. But if you value things like comfort and want a car you can use every day - while still having fun on track the M3 fits the bill better. The Evos only felt good when you were pushing it. My Evo X Recaros were super uncomfortable for me and on long drives my back would hurt. The Evo 8 had more comfortable seats. The M3 I could relax in and have a good time at lower speeds.

That said, I could never match my lap times I set in my tuned Evo X in my M3. I probably would have kept the Evo if I bought a 2nd car to daily drive.
