Compare it: BMW M3 vs Porsche Carrera
 

I already know one former Carrera owner who traded his in for an M3

let's just give this a whirl.

Overall satisfaction.

The porsche might just be a hair faster, but that ol m3 just chuggs along. Roadfeel, braking, acceleration, drivability, ALL OF IT YO!

p.s.: hey everyone :-)

M5 is better

I Don’t Know Much About Cars but....
what can I say...
I LOVE BMW!!!!

you cannot compare a porsche to a bmw
there is a huge difference
also what carrera are you talking about ;)

carrera C2


like I said drive one then the other ... A guy I used to work with has some ferraris and after going for a ride in an m3 he put in an order for one

personally ... this is nearly as good as sex ... blissful. I say fuck it. every carrera driver i've seen on the road is a fucking pussy. if buying a carrera turns you into a twat I don't want one either.

Never driven a M3, but have driven a Porsche. Great car and lots of fun

M3 is my dreamcar!!

I am going to buy a 05 one of the new one that comes out in sep 07!!

NO comparison. Porsche pisses all over everything BMW could ever dream of. I own a Porsche 911 Turbo and the BMW is a hairdressers car.

Porsche is awesome!!!!

The M3 fits your golf clubs and a friend. Carrera does not. I love the Porsche. Wanted one my whole life but it is more of a toy as you can get nothing in it with you. I bought the M3 convertible and love it.

New M3 E92 rocks guys!

The M3 is a great car.I had a 2003M3smg for nearly 3 years at the same time I had multiple Porsche 911's.The M3 is easily as fast as the C2,but a good driver will drive the 911 faster through the curves.
Not all Porsche drivers are sissy's :winkwink:

M3
- can fit 4 people comfortably
- great trunk space
- less of a target for theft
- quick as the porsche


Carrera
- can fit 2 people and a dufflebag in the backseat
- trunk space for about 3 bags of groceries
- great stigma, people always price porches wrong in their mind, girls think
they are worth 200k, thus = pussy machine.

I cant say many bad things about either, because I have both. I see the m3 as the daily driver and the other as the fuck around car.

if only there was a way you could own both. :glugglug

BMW from me and one bump

I have to say my first drive of the e46 M3 surprised the fuck out of me... However after test driving a C2 996 the bimmer lost its appeal :winkwink: Straight line acceleration is similar but the Porsche still clinches (ass dyno at work)

IMO if you're coming in here with the "4 seats" or "bigger trunk" arguments, you're in the wrong thread talking about the wrong type of car. I'm sure Chrysler has a section on their website where you can discuss what minivan best suits your wife and 8 kids :winkwink:

Really hard... I love BMWs

cant fit in a porsche so its bmw that gets my vote lol

BMW is engineered to be a great car.

Porsche is for rich pricks who want big bills for auto repairs.

nice



i want to drive tims car

but i like porsches, dont need to be practical if your single

i had the M3 and i now have the Carrera S and there is nothing to compare :)

Owned an M3 first switched to the carrera and now I'm back in an M3. But i went convertable this time. I just enjoy the M3 more personally.

the carrera is the entry level model into the 911 class. Sort of a white belt if you will. 911 twin turbo, is the black belt.

I think both suck. Audi RS4 is my kind of car!:thumbsup

Porsche makes a crappy car.

and yes the Audi RS4 is cocaine for 2007.

I would prefer m3, porsche has this "chick car" look to it for some reason...

I prefer the Porsche to an M3, however I have not driven a new M3. But the M3 to me just doesnt seem like a mans car. Maybe like a young asian guys car, thats all I see driving them around here.

I think the opposite, however I think the boxster and cayman definitely say chick. I might be biased cause I have a Carrera, although its getting old so I'm shopping for something new.

My BMW costs just as much to service as my Porsche.

the porche.. just more like it :)

but get a viper or somthing
