OK...I'll bite 46 YO, own my own business, and make north of a $1MM/year....The M3 was an impulse buy for me after I traded in my 2008 997S. Wanted a hard top connvertible and had an early E46 when I was youner. Love the performance of the M3, but agree with your friend, that it is a bit of a "ricky racer" car. As such, will be obtaining a new Panamera GTS or Merc CLS 63 AMG when lease expires in 11 months.

Do the CLS63, it's so much better styling and performance wise. Its exhaust note is amazing as well.

The CLS63 is a great car, but have you seen this?

Since you're in FL and driving a vert already I'd suggest taking a LONG hard look at the new Benz SL. I think you'll like much of what you see...

Yea, since your business seems to be doing well, just jump up to an SL63 AMG vert or a an Audi R8 Spyder.

Please explain "ricky racer". Have never heard that term. I have heard "rice rocket", or "boy racer" but that describes the Subaru Sti type of cars. The M3 is in the class of car that is the "small high-performance luxury car". Other cars in its class are the RS4, RS5, C63, IS-F. That's about all. The Panamera GTS and CLS 63 are much larger vehicles and a different type of car altogether. Also, if you are looking at the Panny GTS, why not look the M5? You will get Panamera turbo performance at the price of a well equipped Panamera V6. If you want a higher-end M3 replacement, look at the Aston Martin Vantage.

I don't think I will ever grow out of an M3. I plan to be a grandpa and still enjoy it.

I plan to add a M5 to the stable next year. If you think M3 is to "Ricky racer" car than move up to the M5 or M6.

I do agree the porsche looks amazing I still would take a hard look at the M5 and M6 before doing the jump.

Best of luck either way.

cole328 · 05-13-2012, 07:15 AM

Good points....on paper, the M5 looks amazing. however, visually, it does not really do it for me. Plus, the M6 , in my opinion, is not much more than a 2-seater.

yes, my business partner has the R8 with the Stasis Supercharger package....damn, that car is fast and beautiful!

The search continues.....

So do you need 4 seats and/or four doors or does it not really matter? Also, do you have a maximum price in mind?

i love how some people just jump to conclusions when they see a young person driving an expensive car..

sure there are many kids that are taken care of by their parents and they get whatever they would like.

my reason for replying to this thread is because i started working when i was 15, never got anything for free from family, always worked hard for everything i own today.

when i was 20 i bought my first bmw, a 335i coupe, at 22 i got my m3..

through a lot of hard work, stress, and sometimes wanting to give up, i kept pushing through to achieve all my goals.

funny story, i was at starbucks one time and i had parked right in front of the front door, so everyone was just looking at me get out of the car, as i walk in i order a passion tea or whatever it was. As I'm leaving and about to jump back into my car, an older man maybe in his late 40s come up to me and says, " hey son, thats a beautiful bummer, what year is it?" so i told him at the end, he was like "your a very luck man, your parents must do well"

so all in all, things don't happen by accident, they happen by design. Don't pre judge.
