Then replaced with the k20a2 and went boost again

Dude, look inside the BMW.. It look pretty mess and the condition kinda worn.. I rather stick with your EP3... Oh well it is your car and it your decision..

 

oh, I ordered an intake, new m3 floor mats, and a radio (cd player). that will probably be it as far as mods go. I do want some red/white tails and clearer looking head lights...the oem US spec ones are foggy looking imo

hahaha, nah, it's clean inside imo...it is leather man, it's going to look worn..that can be fixed. This out performs the ep3 overall...and it has 4 doors like I wanted

 

Loved the EP3, good luck with the M3.

thanks man, the ep3 was great, just time for a change.

The m3 is a 98. It's fast enough to beat a srt-4 at least It was fast in it's day, but now there are so many fast stock cars out there. It keeps me excited when I drive it by myself...keeps the wife and kid comfortable when we drive around town...so nice and quiet inside.

 

The M3 is pretty nice but auto....come on now

I deserve that

 

Wife and kid, that right there is the perfect reason to get a four door auto. That way you could have best of both worlds, comfortable ride and the wife could drive it if your too tired on those long family trips. Just make sure to keep up with the maintenance and that car should treat you right.

 

RIP ep3 ive seen it all over ephatch

 

damn the ep3 looks nice....but at my age i rather go for the m3 simply because i dont want to take a girl out on a rice rocket... so you made the correct decision choosing the M3

 

ep3 &gt; auto

 

sad day for ephatch.com michael did u polished slips go with the car?

 

the m3 would look nice w/ some e46 wheels...
both are clean

 

Probably not the popular opinion, but I'd have stuck with the Si. Cleaner, newer, more reliable, better on gas, more cargo space, manual transmission, cheaper parts. Can't disagree too much with an M3 though.

 

if it was a stick i maybe would do the trade but i'm sure of one thing your miss...THE SOUND OF VTEC....HAHA....

that's an ugly combo.

 

M3 &gt; EP3

No offense but the EP3 looked like it belonged to a kid like me. A guy with a wife and kid like yourself is much better off with a grown up's car. How's the insurance payment on that thing btw?

 

M3 is nice and all, but the auto KILLS IT...o well..if you got a family,i guess you gotta do what you GOTTA do...Good luck, I hope a manual tranni is goin in soon. In fact i hope thats goin to be your first mod. haha

 

be delicate w/ those black side moldings

i think they cost like 80 bux for a replacement. eeek

i dont think it was a good trade -given the condition of the m3; but nothing a good minor restoration can't fix

True, that the point too...

 

Sounds like the trade off was worth it to you, thats all that matters
