Is the M3 E92 a logical step up?

eugegall · 05-03-2010, 05:20 PM

Hi All,

My last two cars have been a VW Anniversary 1.8T (180) and most recently my 2007 Audi S3.

Im looking for a new car and the M3 is what all roads lead to. Is this the right move in your opinion? Or too much?

Thanks

If an M3 is where all roads lead, then I think you have answered your own question.

I doubt you'll find many regrets here

I followed a similar route to you. Civic Type R to 2007 Audi S3 to 2007 M3. To say the M3 is in a different league is putting it mildly! The S3 was a pretty good car, but I found I got very bored with it rather quickly. Ive had the M3 for about 6 months now and still look forward to every journey in it. I find the M3 does everything brilliantly. I can cruise along in comfort mode with the stereo on totally relaxed, or I can hit the mute button, drop the window and grin like a loon as I listen to the V8 scream past 8500rpm. The only time I missed the S3 was during the spell of cold weather at the start of the year. The M3 really is useless on snow/ ice, whereas the S3 coped easily with any winter weather. To sum up I would say I liked the S3, but I LOVE the M3! Make the change you wont regret it
