Owned the G35 coupe and drove the M3 (2004) intensively. NO CONTEST.

If you get the G, you are mistaken. M3 is faster, better quality interior, and is a truer driver's car. The G is a pretender in comparison.

I own the G37S and I'm not sure if it's a better car than the E46.

Just get the ext warranty if you do.

Heck, I'd take a non-M 3-series sport suspension over G35 sport suspension too. BMW's just tuck into turns more, they understeer less, and they're much more communicative through the steering wheel. I'm a snob when it comes to good handling (my other car is a Lotus Elise), and it's what I pay attention to when driving cars.

So, the short version; I don't think you know what you're talking about
yah right, I dont know what Im talking about, so do you? I drove both, G is my car so you know the answer, but M3, hell yea, my cousin own an 04 M3, and of course I did jump on it the first day that he bought it. But anyways, Im not going to argue with you guys here. Maybe Im lack of knowledge, maybe you are lack of knowledge, who knows? Im just expressing my opinion about the 2. It is all up to the OP, who is trying to get one of the 2 cars.

You definitely dont know what you are talking about. There truly is no comparison between the M3 and G. If it were 2004 again and you we're deciding which to buy, you would be an idiot to get the G.

are you talking to me? if yes, then you are the one that does not know what you are talking about. Im not trying to get one, I got one. Im talking about OP (original poster), he is the one who is trying to get one. If no, then Im sorry.

I know that a lot of you guys here, including me, love the M3. But what is the reason that you guys and I did not get an M3? Money, right? We are not children anymore, all of us here are 18 or older. We need to take responsibilities, dont rely on our parents. Grow up guys. And of course, everything has pros and cons, including cars. G has its pros and cons, M3 has its pros and cons. IMO (this is just me), M3 cons are money and handling.

actually ever since BMW stopped CPOing the E46 cars their value dropped big time you can get an M3 thats comparable with a similar G35 coupe for about 5-6k more.

I sold my M3 to save money for a house. Taking advantage of the market. And if the M3's problem is handling, you simply dont know how to drive. M3 is a FAR superior handling car, its not even close. What do you think the M3's are known for?

lol I dont know how to drive because I said M3 is not good at handling? is that how you judge people? And you think you do? ROFL. Ok ok, let's stop here. Arguments are useless, it is up to you OP. You pick what you want and what you can afford.

yah that's true, M3 costs around 5-6k more than a G. But that's just the beginning, you also have to pay for insurance, maintenance, and costs to fix the car. At the end, M3 will cost way more than a G.

Pros: you used the search function

Cons: you resurrected and directed a comment to an 8 year old thread/post

Final answer: Welcome to our little dysfunctional family, maybe the next post will relate to something more current.
