2011 m3 coupe or 2012 jeep SRT8

BenchRacerYo · 04-07-2014, 06:44 PM

If you have 50K, you can get an M3 coupe with less than 30K miles. Why are you looking at one in the mid 40s?

just depends what you're looking for but those SRT jeeps are effin' awesome if you need the ground clearance

I have a '14 Jeep SRT and an ESS. FI E92 M3. I cannot imagine comparing the two.

The Jeep is my daily driver. The M3 is stored in the winter.

The Jeep is lousy in the winter without winter tires. Even all seasons are bad. The ride quality of the Jeep is also lousy on anything other than highway. It also requires you to buy an oil rig to keep up with the gas fill ups. But it is fun to drive and goes like crazy. Quite honestly though, at times I wonder if I should have purchased an Audi S4. I think fundamentally I am just more of a car guy.

The M3 is simply an amazing car across so many fronts. Mine is tastefully modded (ESS, Akra, Stop Tech, Ohlins) which has made it even more fun. I smile every time I get in it. I have never regretted the M3 purchase at all. In fact I'd buy another one. I am pretty lucky to have both, but a lot of guys do drive thier M3 all year round.

In the end it is your personal preference. For me it would be am I more of a car guy or an SUV guy.

Good luck.

I totally agree, I actually had the jeep for a day and returned it and went and got this :-) I don't regret it and smile every time!
