Whats the difference? which one would you prefer.. Im looking to buy a beamer convertible.. Im 23 years old..l think that the m3 looks kind of antique, but itsa lot sportier.. im looking at 2005 and 2006 iswhich one would get better gas mileage?

the M3 ''looks kind of antique''? What year M3 r u referring to? The M3 looks pretty much like any 3 series of the same year/same body style except for bigger fender flares & wheels & tires. You do realize the M3 is a 3 series right?

Of course the M3 will use more gas, u do not get all that extra performance for nothing.

Also check with ur insurance carrier - pretty safe bet the M3 will cost a lot more to insure, especially when u r young.

Have fun with either!

325ci better

the main difference from a ci and m is the power it produces. l have a 04 330ci and l love it but it only got like 225hp compare to the m3 333hp ? correct me if im wrong

dude,

PMack is right. and 325 drink less than the M3 3.2 litre 342hp M3.

Looks wise the M3 only looks more aggressive than the 325 other than that they r almost identical. It all depends on what u want from the car. They r the same up to a point, where the M3 betters is
a. It looks better with its aggressive bodykit, wheels etc
b. It is a helluva whole lot more faster (not good english but hope u get the jist)
c. It has a whole lot more street cred.
On the downside, the insurance, running cost is & purchase r higher. But then the M3 will sell for a lot more come resale time. My advice, if u want to go all out & own one of the greatest cars ever built go for the M3.

unless you're going to the track on the weekends.or ready to get about a million speeding tickets.get the 325ci

i would personally get the M3- more resale value if you need it and just the prospect of owning an ''M'' car would be. amazin

l really do not know or how you would think the m3 would look antique=/ Which would get better gas mileage?? any sports car you get is going to burn more gas, that is just common sense.if l bought a lambo or a ferrari is it going to save me gas??
