I was curious and saw and drove this 2004 M3 coupe w/108k miles today - lives in Asburn, 15 min away from me. And wow. Quite a leap in power over my ZHP. I haven't driven an e46 m3 before. Owner is going overseas for his job for one year and looking for new home for his car. First owner had it new to 98k miles and took care of it well - all receipts available. 2nd owner only had it for last 10k miles. And he has done several good upgrades - e.g. Koni shocks.
I just purchased my 2005 ZHP in December (w/115k mi). And I love it. But this m3 seems in excellent mechanical and interior/exterior condition. If I sold my ZHP, I think the added cost for m3 would be about $6K-$7k difference. Seems like a lot more car for $6K/$7K.
Should I make the leap or be happy with what I have?
Here's a few pics I snapped and the ad
