Would you trade your 550i straight up for the new M3?

The car was covered up with black tarp/plastic thing which revealed nothing. I was there checking out the old M3 go around the track, but then they brought in the mysterious covered up car. I asked what was it and he said it was the new M3. I wasn't even allowed to bring in my camera. The shaped looked like the 2-dr current 3series and the interior was roughly the same.
Ah okay, sounds like an early test mule car or something, when it comes down to it it's all about the motor and performance. Thanks!

I'd much rather have an e92 M3 over a 550. Or if you don't need the space, consider a used 997S for roughly the same price. Or maybe the new GTR.
I wouldn't consider it a downgrade at all, perhaps a unilateral move if anything. If fact, many enthusiasts would consider it an upgrade. Who cares what other people think though as you should drive the car for yourself.
The M3 will be faster, handle better and simply be more fun to drive. It looks as if you enjoy modding, so the M3 will also offer more choices in this area. The M3 crowd in general contains more enthusiasts, so if you enjoy meets, drives and track gatherings, you should have plenty to choose from.
As mentioned, the new M3 should command a nice markup if you wish to be one of the early adopters. With that said however, I've read of many M5 owners buying at MSRP when the car first came out. Either way, get on a waiting list now or have some type of agreement with your dealer over pricing.

Is this even english??? What the hell are you talking about bro? And you have 3 "2nd cars" (whatever that means), but you can't afford a 550?? If my math serves me correctly, that would be 6 cars total. Maybe you should sell all 6 of them and you can get a 550.
This and the other post was prolly the funniest shit ive read in a while
cmans that was classic
