M3 / M4

[bab-91]

Just back from a local dealership that put on an unveiling day for the new M3 and M4.

Clawed back some of the money I put in their tills in the form of free burgers and coffee.


Quite surprised, I have been lusting after the M4 but in the flesh found myself liking the M3 over the M4.

Just wondering what the consensus is? (Other than modern TURDZZZ)

I would have the m3 in a heartbeat. For what ever reason the rear arches look 10 times better

I got an invite but could not be bothered. For £5K, I'd rather buy a new corvette.

I got invited into the workshop yesterday as they PDI the M3/4 and I would have the M3 over the M4.

I see the M4 as more of older mans weapon and the M3 a young mans toy but the M3 looks the dogs. The £57k price tag seems steep but compared to the equavilant Mercedes and Audi it sits just right.

It's not that bad, an e36 m3 with a couple of options was £35k not far off 20 years ago!

Exactly. A fully optioned up E46 M3 was pushing £50k 10 years ago.

The M3 CS with tax was £48k
The original owner paid just £35k as he did not have to pay tax and had some discount in 2006.

2001 E46 M3 Coupe prices were £38k upwards
YES I remember !!!!

My invite has gone unused. Spent yesteday fitting and gapping the new doors on the Compact and fettling Neil's 628CSi, and today I'm off to a big Jaguar club event to drool over some proper cars.

I couldn't work out if the rear arches are more flared than the M4 or just seem so because of the contrast with the rear doors?

[Andyboy]

Where's the 'I don't give a toss' option?

[pony]

I quite like Yas Marina Blue on both of them or black
The M3 does look good
Not sure which I prefer
Still can't get over them calling it M4 Coupe

I would add that option if I could. I'll remember for next time!

Agreed, worst idea ever!
