thats a hard one but depending on how mint the supra is id go with the supra

I'd go for a hard-top M3, but if your set on the convertible go for that.

A supra can't compare to an M3.

The M3 puts out more hp N/A than the supra does with boost.

The M3 has constant hp, no waiting for it to spool up.

M3 = Luxury

BMW > Toyota no question

I would take my 330 over a supra too but i am bias, not hating on supra's....they are fucking sweet too, but it has different appeal than a BMW

a supra is pretty much a collectors now and days.....the price keep going up rather then down:thumbsup:
m3 price keep going down the older they get.

like i said tho i love m3s but depending how mint the supra is id still go for the supra

It will be cheaper for u to make the supra really fast, but they are both fast to begin with. If they are fast enough as is, you will enjoy the luxury of the M3 much more, but if you are all about speed I might go for the Supra

Like people have said they are very different cars...

They drive completly different.

I love my Supra....Supra all the way (Only if its a Turbo)
Supra's are allot easier to get crazy horse power numbers.

Also once the 335i is out everywhere in calgary, your M3 is only .3 seconds faster. So watch for the M3's to go down, Especially when the V8 comes out.

Also the Supra is rare, M3 are everywhere!!!!

The M3 isn't going to break down unless you're retarded and drive the shit out of it day in & day out.
Believe me, I think the M3 wouldn't be in for "service" as much as the Supra would be.

Then again, it's not even comparable. Once car is older & the other is newer.
How about comparing 2 cars in the same year?

+1 for supra. it all depends on what u want in a car though. handling, acceleration, or both. id say that the bmw is an amazing car for both how it comes but the supra has so much potential for tuning. if u wanna put money into the car u decide i would def say go the supra route. if u want a car that you buy and drive the m3 is for you. id make a list of things you want in a car and do some pros and cons of both cars.

Supra bimmer is a poor mans rich car, aka your trying to be rich using an M3, Supra would own. with 350 RWHP, along with a vastly tunable street engine from street to track this car can do it all. and it looks good. Or you can put it this way, do you wana look good for clients, newbs to cars, girls who look at chrom. go with bimmer.

If you want to impress girls who enjoy nice cars, clients(car likers), and impress basic car knowlagable... go with supra.

M3 with the stock 19's; only because I'm biased to BMW's :D

For me, the performance of both cars are great, so that's not really a factor for me. What makes me want the M3 more, is the luxury & technology in the car. Overpriced options like alcantara headliner, stock navigation, stock xenon lights, make me weak.

10-04-2006, 02:47 PM
well if you want a cool car that every rich wanna be likes and dont mind crazy depreication and the car at hte dealership for a lot of warrenty work the go bmw ,

The good with bmw u feel like a rich and classey person (do u?) even if u live in rundle, 3 series is a girls car. mx series is a male car so atleast your striaght on that.


but if u want some rare-er then a lambo and problably faster and can cost 75 k sometimes then a supra

so what if its a 2004 bmw, its not like a 1995 supra has anything outdated. oh maybe it doesnt have bluetooth or a navigation system.

but when you see a broken down toyota then maybe question yourself until then remember even a supra can be driven like crazy and still relaible.

trying to be unbias but a honda guy anyway.

Supras are for wannabe Paul Walkers and the owners are tools with few exceptions, but BMWs M3s are for wannabe car enthusiasts and the owners are tools with slightly more exceptions.

...get an Audi RS4 instead.

The audi A4 doesn't come close to an M3 or a Supra Turbo in performance. Maybe your thinking of an S4

Between M3 and Supra, i will have to say M3. There is a guy in Europe that has a Twin Turbo setup in his M3 that puts out more than 800 HP.. :eek:

why would I recommend the new RS4? It is way too much money... the older ones are less, and you get can get older S4s (twin turbo AWD and very easily upgraded) for $25-35k

As much as i LOVE the supra, it just seems more of a toy than the M3. M3 just says "mature" a bit more than the supra, but thats just my opinion

as much positive attention a supra would bring, it would bring just as much negative attention (people who arent "into" cars and just think of your car as loud and obnoxious, an obvious target for cops, etc)

I think it's more to do with how much people care what others think about them lol. Maturity would most likely lead the buyer to figure out which vehicle satisfies them the most. Just because an old guy chooses a lambo over a maybach doesn't mean he's childish and immature :D

I knew you guy's would take that comment and twisted. As you get older your preference changes. I use to love the Supra, but as i got older my taste changed towards BMW,AUDI,MB. Everyone is different. Maybe when i am in my 50's i will wan't a Mustang like i had when i was a teenager. It means nothing less nothing more.

haha pretty general comment man, Im getting old now but would still want a supra over a 3. And then theyre Hulkamania, hes like 60 and hes all about the Supra. its just personal preference. I see lots of immature try hards in m3s and they have no taste or imagination so they just go out and buy the most expensive 3 series they can.

from when i had my chrysler 300 and with stock navi systems the gps sucks in canada, even worse in alberta, alpine or pioneer had way better gps tracks.

i must agree man factory options kick ass, but also on the hids on a chrysler 300, stock they were nice, but aftermarket there brighter and nicer looking, its just a personal thing i guess.

I know for a fact that for my next car its going to be a supra hands down.

i still cant believe the TT supra is so slow... if you want power, i'd go for the supra, coz its gonna be a lot more easier to upgrade to outrageous amounts of power that would make it the king of the road... the M3 is still pretty quick, so if you want a "normal" car with loads of luxury and superb handling i'd say hands down go for the M3!

Does it really matter if an SRT4 is Faster then an M3.... The M3 is an entirely different car,
With the M3 you get leather, heated seats, german engineering...etc.

My Supra has put down higher dyno numbers than most porches....however if someone wanted to trade my supra for a 911 i would be kissing my Supra Good Bye.

It not all about how fast you can go in a straight line if that were true we would all be buying the new Shelby for 45,ooo. People would not be spending $125,000 on a Porshe 911

well, i raced a couple with my mopar stage3 and was really excited because i trully believed the M3 is an amazing car, that is really really quick... almost all the srt guys laughed, and htey said they've been spanking M3s even with nothing more than an exhaust upgrade :dunno: that's one of the things that really put it in perspective, how freakin fast srts are.... i mean, stage3s on high octane squeek out wins agains stock Z06s and that car is properly quick!

absolutely NO DOUBT at all, you're perfectly right... i was more worried about teh TT supra being that slow. because like the M3, it's been one of the cars i used to worship for the perfomance, and it's quite dissapointing that even teh shitbox neon spanks them... that was my point, i dont care if the srt beats the m3 in the straight line, i already know it does :nut:

Everywhere is different. I just quickly pulled 13.4 for M3, 13.9 FOR SRT NEON.

pretty sure they were joking, no way a stock or modded srt goes 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, that's faster than a 911 turbo, let alone 11.7s stock in the quarter mile...

that being said, we've had a 13.8s quarter mile STOCK in alberta, so adjusting for sealevel i'd say that's neck in neck with what the M3s are running when tested by magazines, especially when you add in small mods like wastegate and exhaust...

from what i hear, off the line the srt simply destroys the M3 because of the faster 0-60, but from a roll it's A LOT closer because of the M3s great powerband

Well since we are keeping on topic here...

The 95 Supra (SRT4) stock will probably be a drivers race with the M3. When you modify the Supra (SRT4) and the M3 i'm sure it remains a drivers race. Look at the times Z_Fan and Riceeater and getting with their 1995 Supras (SRT4).
