I dunno, I really like the older Rieger front bumper. Similar to the RS4 but slightly exagerated valances... Almost like someone stretched the RS4 bumper out right across the valances... I love it almost as much as I love **** in muh face!

Yeah that ones quite nice actually.

 

I love the exterior of the M3, again for the clean lines.However, if you like the interior of the Audi chances are you won't like the interior of a bimmer. That's what I have found, anyway. BTW, I like the front bumper from Euth's post.

 

I've been in many M3's and they have very nice interior. Not sure why I would like the S4's and not the M3's they are both well built.

 

All a matter of taste. I find the BMW interiors to be hard and uninviting. Kinda like my ex.

In any case, good luck with your decision. Nice to have money and options.

 

Well I'm putting half down on either. The M3 actually is pretty close in price to the S4's I've been looking at. I've found several M3's with under 70k miles for like under 20k.

 

just remember no matter what car your going to get that these are performence cars. so most likly they have been driven pretty hard.. so even if a M3 has only 70k miles it could be torn to pieces engine wise. so i guess im saying be careful of your choice because it may look like a deal.

 

^+1

and dude i dont mean do be mean i just hate when people polute the looks of this car
i think its so gorgeous

and also i got my s4 with 80k for 11 grand

i have yet to see a e46 for under 20

 

couldnt agree more..when i bought my car, i was focused on an e46 m3...love the exterior styling....but honestly, i really dont like their interiors....they are just bland..nothing too them..very businessey...the seats are hard...the shifter is tall... the radio is just...boring looking as is the dash... i drove the s4 and i was thrown back, its interior was much nicer...

Now if were talking an m5 its a different story..for some reason they amped up the interior on that and its great... dont get me wrong, i like most bmw's..but their interiors are lacking

 

2004 M3

2005 M3 Convertible

2002 M3 Coupe

I could keep going I'm telling you they have come WAY WAY WAY down in price. Before the newest M3 came out I couldn't find one under about 40k that was low miles. Also I plan to have a dealer or something inspect whatever car I am going to get. To get what I want I will have to travel by plane buy it and then drive it back (I love road trips especially in a new S4 or M3 ) so I will definitely have it checked out.
