E92 M3 > GT-R

[Roadster]

Oh the things you could do to the M3 with that extra $20 grand you didn't spend on the GT-R...

I'm glad BMW decided to be true to the M badge and up the displacement instead instead of adding boost to the mix. The E92 exhaust note is honestly one of the most deadly sounding cars I've ever heard. 8k is music.

I'm pretty biased against the GT-R. I enjoy driving my cars, not being driven by them.

I think it was Chad who on the first page called the M a "luxury coupe" and the R35 a sportscar...I'm sure someone pretty soundly disproved that one already (without reading through the rest of the thread). The M is still 100lbs lighter than the GT-R. I'm not sure why folks are complaining about the E92's weight.

I guess I'm a purist for the most part, and the GT-R is as far from a pure driving experience as it gets these days. I'll drive a minivan if I want to let the vehicle do the driving and reacting for me.

///M ftw.

Purist? Then you wouldn't like either car. THe M3 is still based on a lowly 320 in Europe. Its only 100lbs less but the GT-R has AWD. BMW has simply lost their mind with weight. THe M6 convertible weighs 4400 lbs!!!

I do agree, the GT-R is so good, it is less involving than an M3, which makes the M3 more fun to some reviewers.

Reguardless of the back seat or not, BMW makes a better car.

The M series cars are the top notch vehicles around. The are the balance between a powerful sports car, and then roll up the windows turn the A/C on and youve got quite a luxary car.

The GTR to me is just a faster 350z. I don't even understand why they made it look like they did. It looks nothing like the R34 or the previous skylines.

The M3 however, follows quite a family of stylish cars.

Clearly you have not read about the engineering that goes into the GT-R, down to the paint finish, yes 14 steps. M cars are a great balance between luxury and sport, no arguement there.
