After E46 M3, Where to go NEXT??

Well I got a pretty good offer on my '02 M3 (which I got in

October '01). The car has 13000 miles. So I would like to see

different opnions of where to go after the M3, (I absolutely love

my car, and I'm leaning towards a new one).

But If was not another M3 what car would guys consider,

without having a enormous price jump...

Thanks !!

Import a CSL and you will have one of the most unique cars in America. I know you said not too big of a price jump, but hell if you can afford an e39 m5 and e46 m3 then why not? Passing emmisions would be a PITA but I'm sure it's possible. As far as around $50,000 a used Carrera older then your m3 is in the range. I would just keep the m3 if that is your only option. The m is probably the best bang for your buck European sports car. You could save a little money and get the 300hp Volvo S60R, but that is a drop in performance.

trade your M3 with someone that has a 1992 teal green Honda Accord Ex sedan with 17" gunmetal Tenzo R Shu-4's and is lowered.

Z06, GTS, SRT-10, 993 TT, 996 TT, GT3...

Those are really the only cars you can get that are actually better performing than the M3 and still be in a reasonable price range. Hell, you could buy two Z06s and make one a beast...
