What is an alternative to M3 coupe?

Race_Doc11 · 09-06-2013, 08:51 AM

RS5

If you want M/T there is nothing like it in the same price range. Otherwise, only C63. IMO if you like any other car more than your M3, you bought the wrong car.

So why are you driving an M3 now? Won the lottery or something?

Used 997 Turbo
Used 997 GT3

I'm gonna stop here because if I start listing everything, I won't be able to stop

You still have the best car....keep it. And if you can afford that new C7 corvette for fun, that's a great combo (unless you have snow)!

NJCRUSH · 09-26-2013, 02:39 PM

How about the CLA 45 AMG - allot of bang for the buck. Fully loaded with all performance and upgraded options is $65K...

0-60 mid 4 second range..

I'm also not a huge fan of the styling but I will say it looks way better than that in person. I saw it at the us open in NYC a month or so ago

Walking, a horse, a bike, wait can you rephrase that question? What isn't an alternative?

Also, Aston v8, Hyundai genesis 3.8 t for something cheaper, or merc slk55 Amg or a used sl550.

Disagree on the Genesis. Good car as a start for Hyundai, but for a bit more money the 370z or Mustang GT are way better cars. I would also recommend either 370z or Mustang over the TT-RS. The only Audi that actually has anything "sporty" about it is the R8, the rest of their lineup is a snoozefest.

Agreed. C7 Corvette is looking like an amazing car already. It just might be the next car for me after I'm done with the M3.

Saw one at the NY Auto Show and in person the styling is quite nice but as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder lol!

Boss 302...

GTR

A new M4 which I hear will have a twin turbo inline 6 engine code name the S55. It is suppose to produce approx. 420"HP with more torque. A lot of people are praising the move back to the inline 6 although I'm torn between the v8 & the I6 it will probably get better gas mileage then the current 2013 and earlier M3's with V8.

HP_HOUND · 10-01-2013, 09:56 PM

Also Hyundia is producing a 1000HP Genesis although it could just be a project for their engineers. look it up if you are interested
