BMW M3 or Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Options

Q.have you looked at resale values of M3's lately ?? You might as well buy a new one, their used sale prices are incredibly high.

A.After a decade of saving, you cannot invest in something mundane, like a 3 series BMW, even one with a powerful engine. The M3 is not a true sports car - try 10 laps of a track and see if the brakes can cope! It is a hugely successful marketing gimmick, an icon without substance. The 911 is the real thing. No amount of advice (and well done for stimulating such fervent debate) will matter after the test drives. The Porsche steering alone when compared with the BMW will illustrate the essential differences. In order of preference, I'd get a Carrera 2 new, used Carrera 4S or a 996 GT3 Mk 1 - the best of the bunch, apart from the unhelpfully expensive GT3 RS. You may want to wait for the 997 as it will make current cars just that little bit cheaper.
