///M3 just arrive at the dealer ...
I just got a text from my parts guy at the local BMW dealer Center BMW in Sherman Oaks, CA.
It's white sticker reads $70K prior to the dealer mark up. I knew people were dreaming of that $57K sticker.. |

I totally agree. Crazy price for a 3-series.

A comparable 911, i.e. a 911S with similar equipment, would cost $20-30K more, go slower, carry fewer people and less cargo, and would not offer Bluetooth or sat radio. Granted the brakes are probably better, as is handling in some scenarios. Porsche's are great cars too (I have owned two of them) but they do not offer more bang for the buck - far from it in my opinion. The M3 is a bargain by comparison.

just called Center BMW in Sherman Oaks.... they have an AW E92 Coupe in the showroom. I will probably cruise on by tonight to take a look and take some pics. I will go ahead and post them when I get back. I will surely take my kids to have them check the space in the rear seats although I already know they will definitely think its an upgrade from the mini cooper's rear seat.....

I am not trash talking the car as I am getting one, but I re-think it all the time. |

I would never buy a car above MSRP. That's absurd.

First of all, anyone who has a 911 doesn't use it for their primary daily driving. Or at least my family doesn't.. if your going to compare the m3 to any 911, you might as well compare it to a gallardo or a f430. many people just don't drive the 911 everyday so of course the m3 is going to be more practical. as far as performance goes, the previous generation sti could give the m3 a run for its money. so all in all, you buy a m3 because its a m3. it can be driven everyday and can be used according to your everyday lifestyle.
its just not fair to say that the m3 is inferior to the 911 because you buy a m3 for X reason and the 911 for X reason.

What a stupid post. You'll pay more because it's a P-O-R-S-C-H-I-A. Enjoy.

70k is a base for a 911, with some options you'll be well north of that, and don't forget the maintenance costs. A decently loaded caymen s already goes for 70K. But hey if it's you cup of tea go for it
