the two are not in the same catagory. e46 m3 vs cayman s would be a hard choice.

m3 vs vette is easy. vette.

thecow135 08-09-2008 08:05 PM

i'd take cayman s. less power, but damn sexy.

M3 if it's your only car.

Rhawb 08-09-2008 09:11 PM

M3. That's one of my favorite body styles of all time. Even if it wasn't necessarily the best of the M3 lineage, it's still my personal favorite. Gotta be Laguna Seca Blue though. Love that color.

TopGear8 08-09-2008 09:49 PM

That's a hard choice man..It all comes down to what you want/need. M3 is more practical...Vette has alot more raw power.

gh8st 08-09-2008 10:27 PM

m3 no contest. vette is hot, but the m3 is hotter.. total chick magnet ;)

unfortunately the vette screams mid life crisis, while the bmw is yuppy material.

I'd go for the M3.

superglue 08-09-2008 10:54 PM

Vette.... no question.

my experience has been that the current crop of E46 M3 owners are of the young douchebag types

MiamiRX-8 08-10-2008 06:56 AM

For some reason I just feel that the M3 is just so classy and sexy while the Vette is just a sports car that can be perceived as a big haired Texas woman’s dream car... I think I want to make my way into more exotic European sports cars as my life progresses. A Z06 can smoke a 2002 Ferrari 360 spider but the class the Ferrari speaks is just un-matched and I feel kind of the same between the M3 and the Vette right now.

Huey52 08-10-2008 07:51 AM

'Vette = more bang for the buck

M3 = more class for the buck

But personally I'm saving for a Tesla 'lectric ;)

mysql 08-10-2008 08:34 AM

yeah, you're going to get douchbags driving either car. With the vette you'll look "fast", with the m3 you'll look "money" :)

XDEEDUBBX 08-10-2008 08:34 AM

I'd prefer the 2003 AMG E55 over those 2 anyday..have the best of both worlds, luxury and power...did I mention 12 second time slips?

biggin55 08-10-2008 08:46 AM

My Vote Goes To The m3

Sephiroth 08-10-2008 09:41 AM

Vette every time.

kvndoom 08-10-2008 10:02 AM

My vote is for the Evora. Oh wait...

Agreed. M3 fo sho!

alfy28 08-10-2008 10:33 AM

my vote would be the IS350 or

Myriad 08-10-2008 10:56 AM

M3, I'm not a big fan of the Vette

IS350 over an M3!? Are you crazy?

YaXMaNGTO 08-10-2008 12:30 PM

The E46 is the better choice for me and for my lifestyle. I probably wouldn't mod it much, because it's an incredible machine already, and it's also functional. I'd enjoy the car for what it is.

The Vette has a potential that the M3 can never realize as far as "modibility" and performance. You could spend $35,000 in mods on the M3, and not be in the same league as a C5 Z06 with $15-20,000... not even close.

PBlue 08-11-2008 08:11 AM

IS350 is not M3 competitor, IS-F is... but its only avail in an automatic... I'd want one if they offered a stick, course i'd need to grow an extra arm for the 8-speed.

DailyDriver2k5 08-11-2008 08:22 AM

Buy both!:)
