BMW E30 M3 vs. '99 or '00 Mustang GT

Which would make more sense for somone entering college this year? The M3 would cost around 18-20k, the mustang 16-18. The mustang is more powerful, but the M3 handles better.
so:
how does insurence compare?
relibility/repair costs?
fun to drive?
practical/long term costs?

Get the GT. I haven't driven a 99/00, but I have driven a 96 and it was pretty fast. They look good, and there are plenty of mods for them too (i.e. Vortec!!!)

That's awefully high for a E30... the 95 E36 should be in the low 20's with average mileage

Go with the Mustang, they look fantastic and have limitless scope for personalization and performance upgrading.

that must be a mint e30...
those are pretty old compared to the mustang

the ins will be lower though... but the parts will be more expensive...
the difference is really in how much you want to spend after the fact... the e30 is older, parts are more rare, and the service is expensive... the mustang is new, parts are abundant... not exactly cheap, but hey...

either car can handle... both are quick...
i would take the m3 b/c i am not a stang fan
the only mustangs i want are from the sixties... and they better have shelby stripes...

add a saleen II blower to the 00 GT and you have a serious ass-kicking machine.

i don't really like american cars... but i'd go with the mustang just because i don't like how old cars look, plus it's pretty easy to make a mustang fast

Check on insurance. I'm sure that will make the decision for you.

M3. Everyone and their mother has a mustang. Insurance will probably be high on the M3 though but its still worth it i think.
