Stock used 08 M3 coupe or sedan = $40k - $44k
2010 Evo X GSR base with mods = $28k + $9k in mods = $37k
Kw3 coilovers, Tune, TBE, UICP, Filter, Swaybars, 10.5 in wide RPF1 wheels, 275/35/18 Dunlop Star Specs, brak pads, fluid, SS lines, Labor for all installs.
M3 pros:
* Build quality
* More comfortable daily driver
* Better Top end power?
* Don't have to mod
* Resell value
M3 cons:
* Price
* Less traction than Evo
* Not as good a track car?
* Expensive maintenance after warranty
* People at work will think I'm showing off. Will drive a more expensive car than my boss
* Will be buying a used car (unless I can order a new stripped down E90 with no options for a good price)
* More likely to spin and perhaps hit a wall at track
Evo pros:
* AWD = better in rain, no churping tires around town when I want to drive hard
* Can get on the gas earlier in turns at the track
* Putting on 10.5 in wide wheels will give me crazy traction at the track
* Seats are better for the track
* Safer at track with AWD
Evo cons:
* Build quality?
* Only a 5 sp
* Weaker top end? (I care more about low end power btw)
* Cheap interior
* Resell value
