Hello,

I am trying to decide between two similar convertibles - 1999 M3 and 1999 328ic.
Both have 5-speeds and comparable mileage in 80,000 - 85,000 range. From a book basis, the M3 is worth about $2,000 more, but the two selling prices are over $3000 different. Is the M3 worth $3000 more over a comparable 328?

Thanks for your help and input.

I definitely think the M3 is worth the extra price. If not the add ons (body kit, mirrors, etc...) the performance is for sure worth the extra price. Not to mention you get nice goodies like a better steering wheel, upgraded seats and wheels.

Definitely worth $3k. It would cost you that + more to upgrade the suspension, etc to get the same performance. Why not get the real thing instead of having to piece-meal it together? In the end I think the extra smile it puts on your face is worth it.

Agree

You will get more resale out of it when you sell too.

Thanks for everyone's quick responses. I just found out that the M3 I was looking at just sold. Does the value of the M3 justify a $5000 difference?

Getting into personal preference now imo.

Good luck ! :thumbup:

Similiar to 911 vs Cayman

Audi A6 vs RS6

You are the man to decide.
