I'm looking at either purchasing either a early 90s M3 or 850. Its a hard desicsion because they both have so many great characteristics, and a few down sides. Any comments or sugestions on the idea?

Both are nice cars but for different reasons. Will it be a daily driver or a weekend cruiser?
IMO: Daily-M3, Weekend-850
The M3 won't cost as much to feed or maintain, but the 850's are unique.

for me any BMW car will do. just take your own decision. best of luck.:cwm27:
