Am I the only one...

Nah, M3 > 335I for the E9X.

For the last generation E46, I did prefer the 330 > M3 and everyone said I was crazy.

[nismodrifter]

The pic that buh_buh posted is not a good comparo IMO because that M3 is sitting on small cheesy 18's with a 4x4 ride height vs a e92 that's slammed on 19's. Of course the other car is going to look better.

Stock vs stock I think the M3 does look better (on 19's) but still could use a drop + 20's to look "great".

I'm a huge fan of the new Cab's. Haven't seen many around but the car looks great because of the huge amount of glass you see on the side profile. I turned my head a full 180 degrees to see one going the other way just to make sure I had seen a 3-series....the car seriously looks wayyy bigger than the hardtop version.

No matter how big?? I'm putting 20x11.5" on the rear, i don't know about those looking small. I have a 325 on the rear, so unilikely that it will look empty

E93 M3> E92 M3 > E93 335 > E90 M3. I think the seden looks weird with too many edges. E92 335 just looks plain...

Lol, i guess since I used the I'm a BMW douche now

Here is a A$$ shot of mine. I have the Dinan Chip put in last summer at BMW Gallery. Will have the 20" wheels going on in couple months. Exhaust upgrade will be next. So watch out you M3 bitches...

Cheers,

Well, post side pics when they're in and we'll see. I'm willing to be wrong.

[B]I agree. I loved the E30 & E36, really liked the E46 but the E92 is a bit awkward, especially in four door (is that an E90 M3?).

In Calgary especially (but even at sea level), the 335i with minor upgrades at least matches the performance of an M3 and is far more understated and elegant, and I think it is a more suitable daily driver because the ride is smoother (even with upgraded suspension that matches the M3s performance).

uhh i don't think so my friend...

[E36M3]

Have you driven either one of them? A Dinan Stage 2 335i out performs an M3 in acceleration even at sea level. In Calgary, it is not even close. With brakes & minor suspension tweaks, they are virtually identical in braking and handling.

In case you doubt it and your bench racing includes watching videos, check this out:

So Mark, are you implying I'm a fag cause I drive an M3 convertible ?

[VA6BJR]

IMO...
Aesthetically: E46 M3 > E92 M3
Performance: E46 M3 < E92 M3

[IhateDomestic]

They are both beautiful.

It's like picking a favourite son/daughter! Just can't dooo it

[speeed]

if they're both stock, I'd say the e92 m3 looks better.

The turbo 6 would have Gobs more midrange torque with even just minor tuning. In Calgary it wouldn't even be close.

Personally I'm not a BMW fan so you can consider me unbiased - I would rather have the 335I.

[scat19]

You guys are nuts. M3 over 335i anyday

[buh_buh]

the reason the M3 looks good in those pictures is because the dark color and lighting in those pics hides the bad lines I was talking about in the hood hump, the front bumper and side gill. In person, I still prefer the 335 over the M3 looks wise.

[benyl]

I wanted a cab. Wife said "no fucking way. It is so ugly." The way the roof line goes into the trunk is very awkward.

I think the E9X M3 is a little overdone. But then again I am biased... haha

E30 M3 is by far the best. Then E46. I though the E36 M3 looked too much the regular 328.

E46M for me. e36 M3 is too hard to tell apart.

Completely, you big HOMO!

Nah, just that coupes look more aggressive than their cabrio counterparts IMO....

Sorry bro I'll still say hi if I cross you on the street, gay or not!
