I would say it is geared towards a car enthusiast that enjoys a good dd that has driven a few cars in their day and is ready for comfort/luxury/style/engine tone/power all wrapped up in a nice little tight package that wont depreciate entirely in 3-5yrs.
I for one love DDs.

I feel the m3 is a car for someone who wants a race car without being flashy. The m3 compared to its competition is a very clean classy car. I bought mine to take to the track and drive around on the weekends. Aside from heckling about being young (26) and driving an m3 I get shit for having a 6mt 525i for a DD and dct on my m3. I always have a bias for 6mt cars but I love rh dct!

The M3 is a luxury sports car that is perfectly balanced for both the track and daily driving.
The GT-R is a more hardcore sports car that is very "Japanese" in its orientation toward tech and priced as high as more refined competitors. I'd much rather supercharge an M3 than buy a GT-R.

The M3 is an all around car and one of the best designed by the ///M Division. I've driven Bimmers since 1987 and find the "M" the best. I purchased the car for handling and safety i.e. the power is there if you need it (power = quick speed for me). My e46 once saved my life ... it's another story.
I am way past legal retirement age (still feel young at heart ) thus I drive a ///M3

I would add that between an M3 and a 911 is not a matter of budget but of practical needs. Both cars are fantastic and all any real person in the real world will ever need. Cheers, |

Btw, I made no confusion between GTR and 911. Only that for me it is the 911 and the M3 that counts in the real world. GTR and other italians? Nope..
Perhaps the baby Aston too- but it's like a less accomplished, wonderfully feathered M3... with a much more elegant interior - and with two seats less! |

Robb7979, yeah I work out of St francis hospital in LI. Mostly CHF. Buisness has been ok but preparing to take a nice paycut soon, like my buddies in Interventional and nuclear.

No I meant interventional cards. Caths took a 30% cut in 2010. Now they are all bitching about it. It's basically become a contest to see who can do the most caths in a day.

ummm.. since when is a 70+k performance car a "boy-racer" car??? i would think a modded 335 or maybe even a tricked out g37 says "boy-racer." The M3 is a serious car. Doesn't matter if you parents buy it for you, or you bought it for yourself. But back to the original question, it is a car that appeals to all ages and budgets. To those who have 5 cars and want to diversify with something for the track, and to those who can only pull the trigger on 1 car, and want to make it an all-in-one car with luxury performance and styling..

why bother with stereotypes and what others think?
u like the car, u like the drive, u buy it and drive it. Simple. Too much typecasting nowadays. might as well sit home and play car games. Im as likely to buy a GTR or a 911 Turbo or an M3 just as long as i like it. |
