i just sold my R for a good price and can find many others for cheaper and make some more money by selling them again or go ahead any buy this estoril blue 98m3 with 44k miles on it in perfect condition for $23k. I can decide what the hell i should do...

 

Bro, somethings you gotta decide for yourself.

Do what your gut tells you to do... otherwise you'll always regret it.

 

Estoril blue is a gorgeous color, my fav M3 color!!! But BMWs are much more expensive to maintain, not to mention ///M specific parts are even more. Do some research and ask yourself if it is the right car for your needs. PS-Id buy an E30, its still on my list of cars to own hehe.

yer title says.. you think its sold???? i dont get it. i think a lot.. but i never end up getting an M3

 

wait for the EVO 7 or the STI. It will be worth it.

 

btw the two you have given as selections...the m3

 

go with the ///M man...

 

turbo the manual tranny Lexus IS300. For some reason i love that car.

 

ok car is sold its between the m3 for that i drove yesterday that is perfect and the 01 black itr(43k) also that i drive that might need a clutch soon for 16,500

 

agreed.

 

m3

 

I'd say get the M3 too.

 

 

C'mon now..

RWD M3 inline 6..
FWD ITR w/weiner 4 cyl engine..

Not a hard decision..

 

ITR=security issues, can't sleep at night, can't park in lotsa places

M3=park that thing anywhere

 

thanks guys..im still trying to decide

 

My roommate has a 98 M3 sittin on its nuts. Id rock it. Its fun pulling up to lights and see ricers jock it cause the stock 17" are tuckin underneath the body panels.

DTM ownz JDM

 

Didn't have an ITR, but I sold my Si for a 95 M3. It is kinda apples to oranges, but damn the M3 is one tasty orange

not to call a brother out, but IMHO any car tuckin rims is pretty gay, M badge or not....

 

Do you have a great familiarity with both of these cars? If not, you shouldn't make such a statement. If so, you should give a more in-depth analysis so that we can all be enlightened about what is and is not a "wiener" engine. And before you ask, no I don't think the ITR is the greatest car ever made, nor do I think it is necessarily better than an e36. Oh well, you could at least have spelled "wiener" correctly.

 

another R..

 

I too would wait to check out the STI and the EVO.

 

'95 Supra TT 6spd, move back home with mom, spend all money on mods and insurance...just my .02

 

definitely wait for the sti it will satisfy your appetite

 

Definitely test drive the car and see if it suits you. For me, the balance of the car just sealed the deal. Street cars are all about compromises, and the ///M guys just made all the right choices(very similar to the ITR).

That said, the car you are looking at is a pretty damn good deal, but the market on M3's has really gone down recently.

To disspell some rumors and myths though, I don't really find it all that much more expensive to maintain my M3 than my non-VTEC Integra. Takes more oil(7 freaking quarts!), but most parts are surprisingly low-priced(did the 'big' Inspection 2 by myself for ~$120-140 or so). Now if you get work done at a dealer, you are just hankerin' to go in and let them have at your cornhole with labor charges.
