[quote=mixxalot]Neither get a low mileage used BMW M3 and destroy both cars for half the price. Plus no wait time either :-)[/quote]
A used M3 will destroy my wallet in upkeep, and on an autocross, most M3’s aren’t destroying miatas and BRZ’s, at least not the ones I attend.
On a race course, that’s different, but I’ve seen used E46 M3’s with rear subframe damage because the torque on the transmission ripped the rear axle mounts from the subframe. It’s pretty knarly.. I just don’t want to deal with german upkeep.
If you’re getting a used E46 M3 make sure you and/or your mechanic is going over the rear subframe and axle very carefully for cracks….Otherwise, it might end up like this….
