M coupe or E36 M3???

[krnbimmafrik]

yay, its time for me to buy a new car finally!! im willing to spend around 25 k on my next car... i was debating over either the 2000 m coupe (240hp) or the e36 m3 (240hp). besides the similarities in the horsepowers i was hopng to get different opinions on the two cars.

heres more information on me so you can help me pick the most suitable car.

im going to graduate from hight school in like 4 weeks, i have a job that pays pretty decent for a htgh schooler, the college that i am going to is gonna be near my house so its not going to be such a long drive, and around $25k.

thank you

M coupe for sure~~

The M Coupe is one of BMW's most rigid chassis. Plus, the M Coupe is a rarity compared to the numbers of M3 coupes out there. Function wise, it's got the added storage space of a hatchback. It's not for everybody, but if you can do it, get the M Coupe.

I have had both cars and i definetly like the coupe more! Quicker because of the weight!

I love the Mcoupe as well~~

But Because I was on my P so I couldn't get it~~

If you're going to be driving friends around often, get the M3. If it's just going to be you (and 1 other person sometimes) get the M-Coupe.

I've heard from people who drove both that M3 is slightly better for track even though slightly slower, but if you are not going to track your car and you are fine with two seats get the MCoupe.

I'm going to say go for the M3. Especially if you are going into college soon, you WILL NEED extra room. I just finished my freshman year at UGA, not far from home (like you) and it made things very convenient to be able to through a bunch of laundry in the back of the car, go home for the weekend and let mom do it. You can actually give people rides if you chose to also......not to mention it doesn't look like a clown shoe.

haha... i never thought about it that way.. kind of does

it looks far better then the z3 coupe though (the hard top one)

if you think you need any extra space, go for the m3, but if not i would take the m coupe- its a newer style... depends though-- its a hard choice
