99 E36 M3 vs. 93-94 Supra

[chickenmonkey]

I'm lost wheather to buy a more refined and luxurious 1999 M3 or a hardcore perfromance vehicle 93-94 supra. Some of the factors that i look for are performanec,chick magnet level, and everyday drivability. which one's faster? does m3 have a large aftermarket choices? Which one would you picK?

[BlackGT2000]

I would take the BMW, they won't be as fast and both are pretty expensive. I just think the BMW is nicer personally. Just not a huge supra fan.

I'd go for the Supra without a doubt. I would guess most chicks don't know the difference between an M3 and a regular 3-series, not that they wouldn't like a regular 3-series but around here those are a dime a dozen. The Supra however is unmistakeable, it's rare, fast, unique, has bulletproof reliability, and is certainly a chick magnet.

I know the supra is the faster one but which one costs more to maintain it. Does m3 have a large aftermarket products and are they expensive?

[CanucksRT]

Chick magnet, uh the Supra will turn more heads, as it's easier to identify, and rarer, but the most chicks love bimmers, and an M3 has a great interior (most chicks love that). That's a toss up, but as the one poster said, 3 series are a dime a dozen.

I would think the M, would be a terrific daily driver, as it's so refined, and such a great ride. Since it's a '99 M, the Supra is faster, but M's are no slouches.

I'd go with the M, BMW's, are terrific cars.

While the Mk. IV Supra is one of my favorite Japanese cars, I could never say no to the M3.

But before I compare the M3 to the Supra, I want to know if we are talking N/A Supra, or TT?

I'm not a huge fan of German engineering, but the Supra's handling is just so bleh. And I don't think I could stand being followed around by every teen on the road. So, I'll give the M3 my nod.

M3's going to be more costly to maintain

I'd have to take the M3 though for it's out of the box performance...I like NA lately...and w/a supercharger it could do wonders!

BMW = Big Money Waster

BMW's have sucky reliability, and you have to maintain them all the time. My cousin use to have a '00 BMW 323Ci and was always having problems with it. I like the M3 and all and I think its a nice car, but I would DEFINITELY go with a Supra, how often do you see one anyway? There are so much more aftermarket products for a Supra anyway. Its your choice man, but I'd def. go with the Supra!

good point...everyone and their brother will want a peice of you in the supra...you won't ever have any peace at stoplights..lol...if you had the ///M3 i think you would have the best of all worlds....great handling, chick magnet, no slouch in a straight line, and most of all.....it's an ultimate driving machine....although finding performance parts for it would be a bitch, but it's not impossible....just ask one of the people in the bavarian cult..(j/k) ....either one is a winner...

by the way ludespeed, my dad has a 1998 M3 and hasn't had any problems with it...all he's had to do was change the oil and spark plugs....common maintenance...and i agree that the bmw would be harder to maintain but you can't generalize...know what i'm saying brotha?

[Nerys]

I think this choice isn't easy. The M3 doesn't look very spectacular. In relation to my environs I'd take the Supra. Here are many M3's domiciled, it isn't something special. In regard to the chicks it's a difference, here are they eager for M3. I'd prefer an Alpina to a M3 (from the point of view of a chick ), it may also not be exactly a difference to regular 3-series, but I love it.

But the M3 will give you performance, and a class and sophistication that you just can't get in a supra...as for reliability, Ive heard and seen that the quality of the essential parts (engine trannt ect) are very high...but its the little things that break on bimmers

[9eleventb0]

For me its a difficult choice, but I'd have to say the M3. Its more luxurious, can seat 4 people, and also responds to mods well. Although the M3 is definitely more expensive to modify than the supra, you can get a 96-99 M3 for fairly cheap whereas a 93-94 supra is still somewhat pricey due to its rarity and desireability. Finally, the E36 M3 was lauded as one of the best handling cars of its time, so the overall feel and handling of the car will be far better than the supra.

Don't get me wrong though, I'd love to have either car in my garage. Even though I prefer the M3, a 600RWHP+ supra would definitely tickle my fancy.

I can get a 1993-1994 with decent mileage for 10G and can get the 1999 M3 for 15G.I'm leaning towards the Supra. Every time i see one on the street i can't help but get goose bumps.
Boom boom skeet skeet.
