It's a daily driver, i can't deal with a 30 million horse power evo.. The evo just brings out my boy racer, but I think in the long run.. bimmer, every time

Seems like you've made up your mind.

It sounds like you're more turned on by the idea of owning an e36 then actually owning it. Is it a car on your list?

It's not really a question anymore the e36 3/4/5 is going to be my next car.. i figured you guys would have picked up one it lol. i just cant see past the lancer in an evo and i know that sounds somewhat shallow but its always going to come off as just a really fast japanese economy car to me (and i truly apologize if that offends anyone) but after further review its just not the car for me.. I'm just going to stick with what I know and go with the M3. I think I'll have plenty of fun and when you see me cruisin, dont sleep on my sedan!

I understand the Lancer thing. That's why I bought mt sti over the evo in 07. I was just curious if the m3 was on your "list". You know the list that everyone keeps in their head of cars that they need to own at some point. I've crossed allot of mine off and I'm now really happy with my R. I knew it wasn't going to be the fastest car out but it handles unbelievably, and it can definitely hold it's own. Get what makes your heart beat the fastest when you look at it. I look at buying cars like starting a relationship...it's emotional lol. You buying the evo would be like dating a decent looking blond who's OUTSTANDING in bed, but is too stupid to hold a conversation with. Does that sum it up?

Exactly

I don't know why everyone is talking about snow, the M3 is awesome in the snow. You just need snow tires

i dont think i get enough snow for the winter to really be a problem, this is the first year I couldnt really drive the MINI around but the snow was off the roads by the next day so it wasnt really a big deal.. ive seen some M3's do okay in the snow and okay is good enough for me

Much better than ok, I live by a steep hill and suv's are always pulled over during heavy snow because they can't make it up. My M3 always went up like a hot summer day
