Just a random question...

Would you rather get a 2003 330Ci or a 1997 M3?

For racing or aggresive driving, E36 M3.

For daily or weekend and want to be flashy, 330CI.

If you have $, 330CI

If you don't have $, E36 M3

e36 m3 either way, I love e46's too....but if it was my money, there'd be no contest.

I had the same decision to make. I chose the E46. Reason been I wanted to cruise around. If i took the M3 I know I would thrash it, and lose my licence.

Well the price is a lot diff. so it doesn't seem like a fair comparison. But i would get the 330 b/c it looks more new, the car itself is usually in better condition (still have warranty), and e46's modded look siiiiick. U can't go wrong either way.

Warranty is huge... if anything goes wrong with my car, i pay for it... But i still would take it over the E46.

I'd take the 330ci, because it can made just as fast and the insurance would be cheaper.

early 330CI are already cheaper than E36 M3s....but i'd never drive one. stick with the M. even if you madethe 330 as fast, youd still have to worry about stopping and turning.

I'd go for the M3. And spend the extra amount to fix it up. That'll look sick. But if you're not planning to mod that much, get the 330ci since they look sweet stock (sorta) or a little modded.


My car is for sale if anyone's interested! Please click the link below:
