if it's not about speed/performance, then why get a performance car. i think a 325i will do just fine for u.. it will do all the things an M3 will do if not more minus the "performance".
and in that case, wouldn't a C6 make more sense especially considering how much the performance differences is.. don't get me wrong, E46 M3 is a beast in its own right and i've always liked it but C6 is in a totally different performance league - if you are looking for a performance car. of course, if u want a fast sports coupe with backseat, M3 would be a great choice.. although i would take a 335i over it anyday now. |

C6 = No, chick car
C6 Z06 = Yes believe me, Z06 is a world difference than the regular C6. The difference between the two is like an e46 m3 vs an entry model 3 series. So between c6 and m3, I would go m3 without a doubt. |

Yes...the 335i is not an M. However, the 335i has much more updated technology with the turbos versus the E46 NA engine.

Then the M3 is a gay car because it's slower than a C6.

i think you are also biased since you own a m3. i would say if it is a daily driver go for m3, if it is for fun get the c6. you won't go wrong with the c6 for either one.

^^hehe, I knew someone gona say that. But no, I tested drove both the 335i and the m3, I feel the 355i is too flush/ordinary like a regular car with ton of power. Not my type of car actually.

I think the new m3 and the c6 are neck and neck, no?
btw, The C6 is a chick car because the handling, braking, power, feel, etc are no where as good as the c6 z06. The difference is like a regular 911 vs 911GT3 or Turbo. I personally wouldn't get a regular 911 at all, at least turbo or gt3 or go home. |

The 'Ring numbers of the base C6 are 7:57. Now, keep in mind that these numbers where posted in 2006, and don't include the 30hp and 30lbs that the LS3 provides (standard in 2008+ Corvettes), it also provides suspension upgrades. Its safe to assume that the base Corvette is running 7:50 now. Lets list out a couple of cars that the base Corvette is faster than (on a track where handling, braking, power and feel is crucial). BASE Corvette: ~7:50 M3 CSL : 7:50 Ferrari F430 F1 7:55 Ferrari 360CS f1 7:56 E92 M3 8:05 M6 8:08 E60 M5 8:13 M3 E46 8:22 (30 seconds is a big gap to give up to a girl car ) Unless the fore mentioned cars are also girls cars, you're better of saying that you just don't like Corvettes. |

All cars are chick cars except huge Chevy Trucks with a gun rack in the back. That's a fact.
