E30 for me I think :cool:
I dont really hold much love for either.
But I'd buy an E30 before I'd buy an E46 but I wouldnt be in a hurry to buy an E30 AT ALL.
This a toughy for me love em both two fantastic cars
The e30 evo is one of the best looking cars ever made and the e46 looks just as good the e46 is the perfect road/track car that can be enjoyed all year round
e46 m3 for me, owned one for 5 years never owned an e30 m3
in fairness the e30 M3 one of the nicest looking cars ever built..
E30 for me.
Sport evo vs Csl would be closer for me.
Haha I was going to go with that one but will leave it for another day.Quote:

On looks its the E30, you just can't beat the muscular arches and strong look plus it's Motorsport heritage. I looked at several E30 M3's over the years and always dreamed of a red E30 M3. Made an offer on one and came close to buying it. Also was offered a sport Evo from a collection which I should have bought as an investment.
Having driven both give me the E46 M3 any day of the week. Six cylinder engine does it for me.
The E30 M3 cabrio was a wonderful car too but its the lack of six cylinder that has always made them feel like they are lacking something for me.
Didn't expect that Andy, I thought you be more of the old school (not slagging your age just your car history :D:D)Quote:

Which would I choose, the e30 based purely on its heritage
I was offered one of those too and just didn't have the fundage. That to me is how the M3 should have been. I was having this discussion with a collector this week who is the the market for a very nice E30 M3 and we were debating the 4 v 6 cylinders thing too. Saying that if I was loaded I would like an E30 M3 in my sitting room.
Voted E46, but its very close!
No, actually Id have an E30....no; E46........ahhh Id have either! :)
It has to be the e30 for me

Aftrr my argument on the previous tgread this is a tough one for me.
As a daily driver id have the e46 , but id prefer the e30 looks .
Ive never been a big fan of the e46 m3 . Always found the hype a bit over rated (puts on flame suit ):P . E46 is a good driver but . Its a bit ............ slow /lacking torque :blush:. Please dont kill me :P
e30 for me but it would be very hard to turn down a CSL if I was in a position to buy.
As Gar said, I don't think polls have ever been supported on Tapatalk from what I can gather, for whatever reasonQuote:

Ive always liked the E30 M3 but it would be more of a vanity thing for me, mainly because of its rarity and appeal, Ive never driven one so I couldn't really say too much but I'd imagine the performance wouldn't blow you away... maybe it makes up for it in driving enjoyment but for going out for a hard blast in something with a bit of oomph it would have to be the E46...
All that said if the two sets of keys were left in front of me I'd probably have the E30.
have both currently, the e30 just 8 years, the e46 3 years, i had a csl before the ordinary m3 for a spell also, regardless of the value of either id go with the e46, its a nicer place to be the 6 cylinder is brilliant, to get from 1 into the other you,d know there related even with the 13 year age gap
Ok my personal opinion on both of these,in standard trim,by the looks and performance marginaly it has to be e46,modified 200% e46. Couple years ago i did a project with e30M3 fitting s54 engine,drove it afterwards-and to be honest i wasn't impressed at all. It still drives like an old car,stops like an old car,and inside feels like an old car,but its not bad,for my liking its not old enough :)

To stick in a garage as an investment & to look at it would be the e30. But the e46 would probably be a better all round driver in the real world for everyday driving. So it depends in whether the question is investment reasons or driving reasons. I think the newer car will always be a nicer place. Nostalgia & deck chair viewing the e30 wins.
