Focus ST vs E46 M3 Videos 1 and 2

[Nihilation]

Let me preface this by stating the obvious. Most of you would probably never cross shop the E46 M3 with a Focus ST. But earlier this year my buddy William Byrd, also the RightFootDown.com Editor-In-Chief, decided he wanted to replace his Lexus IS250 and did just that.

He had the all too common budget of $25k and was looking at E46 M3s in his spare time but quickly got fed up. There simply wasn't anything for sale near by with good service records with the options he wanted.

Long story short, he purchased a Focus ST. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

As any journalist would, he had planned to make a video review. So I thought I would crash the party in my M3. He got a little salty but he then decided that since we're both here, and these are two of the cars he was eyeballing anyway, let's do a comparison.

That's how it began...

$15k can buy an E46 M3 and the rest of the price difference can upgrade it in various ways, this is far from a far comparison IMHO.

E92 M3's are now closer to the $25k mark then are the average E46 M3
