View Full Version : Should I get the current M3 or wait for new M3? mixxalot 03-10-2007, 04:08 AM I am planning on getting a new car to replace my current BMW early next year. The new M3 models are all sold out and waiting lists. Should I get the current M3 model or just be patient and wait for the new 400HP M3 with V8? dhm118 03-10-2007, 04:57 AM wait and get your name on teh list Will Chung 03-10-2007, 06:21 AM Depends on how bad you want it I guess. I personally try to stay away from the first year a car comes out since it has more "bugs" than later years. thedaddy 03-10-2007, 10:57 AM Wait and see what it looks like and decide. The pics I have seen have been a little too feminine for me, but we shall see. frank112916 03-10-2007, 12:17 PM get the e46 for sure. It's a lot better looking IMO. Plus you can always turbocharge the damn thing and it'll be just as fast. The hood bulge on the E92 is just monstrous and ugly. thedaddy 03-10-2007, 01:00 PM I just saw a profile of the new M3 on a news site and I did not like it. The E46 is better looking. I will have to see it live. mixxalot 03-10-2007, 01:01 PM Well I agree- I will see if the new M3 looks good and how reliable it is. If I can score a sweet deal on the current M3 then I would probably do that. I hear that BMW car club is giving members a 5k discount on the current M3, is this true? manm3 03-10-2007, 03:00 PM Go with a 2006...ALL KINKS WORKED OUT!! BMW always seem to have kinks in the first few years of a model. Especially with this big a change for the next model. SO you may have to wait 2 years to get a "stabilized" model. KtecR 03-10-2007, 07:27 PM Just look at the e46 M3... it took them a good 2.5 years to get everything straightened out and all the updates put on. At this rate, I won't be looking back in the market until at least 2010.5 bbrc76 03-10-2007, 07:51 PM pick up an '04 CPO now. wait until the kinks are worked out on the new model (will be about 2 years from now) then dump the '04 for a new one. mixxalot 03-11-2007, 10:08 AM Thats the plan. I have to see what kinda deal I can score on an '06-07 M3 coupe. I see them for about 40k-50k on deal lots right now with under 20k miles- is that a good deal? xlifelessdaysx 03-11-2007, 06:14 PM high reving v8... sprocket1200 03-13-2007, 04:46 PM i agree with the purchase of late in the life of the model style thinking. also, there was a thread about poor m3 mpg. if this worries you at all, don't buy the new one, or the old one for that matter... |
