M235 vs e46 M3

Lost · 01-18-2014, 05:43 PM

Is there anywhere a visual comparison - discussion between those two cars?
Maybe is somewhere in the forum
and I miss it.
I have a high mileage e46 who needs some time off and to be honest the new M4 looks to big and too expensive for my taste. And I missed the train on ordering an M1.
So this new toy looks tempting till I see an M2 (if there will be one).
Trying to figure out whats the cubic space on the new 2 series with the seats down. Cargo space is also important when I have a lot of sporting gear to carry.

Look under "Comparisons" at our official 2 series thread: http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=903957

There's no full visual comparison, but all the physical specs are compared for you.

Here's the individual thread, in case you're curious with any forum user commentary on the comparison. http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showt...t=m235i+e46+m3

Kinda sad, to think that BMW hasn't done much in 14 years..

Except make mad profits off of us.
Too bad their current floorplan/portfolio is not worthy of loosing sleep over.

Don't get me started...
I saw an M6 a few days and it was huuuuuge.
And I still have a hard time trying to figure out if the new 3 series is not a five. Cars got huge...and expensive. I should have bought two e46 m3. One to store it in a bubble wrap and start using it now.
I have on my current one 168k.
Rant over. Mods can delete it.
