M3 or M6 - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Dear Friends...
I just wanted to get some of your wise words of advice... I'm a long time M car lover... I had the 1998 M3 4dr (I put 75,000 miles on this one) and the 2004 M3 cp ( I put 92,000 miles on this one)... Currently I live in CT but have recently been promoted and will eventually be moving down to Florida... no state tax... which means I will be able to afford the M6 with no problem... but after reading about the new E92 M3... I find my self torn... is the M6 really worth the extra money or should I just get the E92 M3 and save some money... I have never driven the M5 or the M6 and haven't even seen the new M3 in person anywhere.... Thanks for your time..

I wouldn't buy a new M3 as everything I have seen on that car has been negative. If it was me, I would put myself on a list for a Nissan GTR, and get something like a used S Class Benz or 7-series Beemer to hold me over. Sorry for the advice, I just watched a review of the GTR. Wow.

So in another word... The new M3 isn't worth the money... go for the M6...

yeah, basically. I apologize for making a non BMW reference, but damn that GTR amazes me. Watch those last two especially, and you'll know what I mean (watch the 2nd video 1st, 3rd video 2nd, and 1st video 3rd... if that makes sense - the 3rd video was a repost and I cant delete it with the edit button).

What is the current wait time in the GTR??? and doesn't it bother you that it doesn't come with manual transmission?

Not when I watch the way that car launches... they will import 2,500 this year and 1,500/year after that. I'm sure the list cant be too long.

I think I saw in another thread that you ordered the M6 right? Cant go wrong there. I had an off week with my GTR talk!

Pegasusmjv · 25th April 2008, 05:24

yes.. I did order the M6... they said 3 months but its only been 1.5 and just today I got the call that they car will be arriving in a couple days.... thats just way too fast I wonder if they actually found one somewhere exactly the way I wanted...
