My M3 is in great condition w/ only 100k miles but there are days when something more up to date is really appealing for where I am in life. The car is my daily and I don’t have an option to have a true daily.

    I toyed with buying an M2 before I settled on my e46 m3.

    I found an IMMACULATE (inside and out spotless) Laguna Seca Blue M3 with only 70k miles and it was simply breathtaking. As soon as I saw it in person I was buying it.

    I test drove an M2 and to be honest the car was probably better in most ways, but it just didn’t give me that feeling. Modern cars don’t, really. They don’t yet have the charm and character and are full of gimmicks I, quite frankly, don’t care about.

    I’ve retofitted an android auto screen in my M3 and with its cruise control, sport mode, heated seats, H&K sound, it’s all I need.

    You’ll like the M2, but in 20 years when you look back at both cars having owned them, the M3 is the one you’ll miss more.

    I know I’ll regret selling mine when I do. (check my profile if you’re interested!)
