    Default Galant Vr-4 or E36 M3?

    My boss wants me to sell my VR-4 and buy his M3. Got people lined up to pay 6 for the m3, and he wants me to buy it for 3. I want the M3, but love the AWD/AWS stability. Not that we get a ton of snow down here, but... When we do, it's a beast. I'm having a very hard time making up my mind here. Any input would help. TY.
    I like having a 4 door, because I like to be the one driving, and it really helps win the battle of my car vs yours on trips. Plus, I have a bumpin system in whatever I drive which comes in handy drowning out whining bitches.


    112k, 5sp, leather, rebuilt title due to flood. Total investment of about $2400 so far. Car is in the shop having the timing belt, pulleys, other belts, water pump, seals, and the other main belt/pulley replaced. Costing around 700 which is included in the $2400 investment listed above.
    or

    100k 1 owner (A doctor) "vader seats" 5 speed, Motorsport wheels, no recent major maintenance. Valued over 6k, will cost me 3k.

    Nrmally i would say keep the galant because its a more unique car, and its easier to mod power wise..... But that's a clean M3. I say do it. If u don't like it, sell it for 6 and get another vr4.

    BMW's are a pain in the ass, keep the galant. My M3 is the reason I have a Subaru and a few Chevy's for DD's

    While I really really love the VR4 I would go with the M3. You could then turn profit and buy another VR4 if you would like and have extra cash for mods.

    IMO id get the m3, granted it does have a higher upkeep cost than the vr4 its still an m3 lol but ultimately the choice is yours to make. Those m3s can hold alot of power in stock trim if power is your goal, if low maintenance cost is your goal stick with the vr4

    The vr4 is the flood victim. The m3 is 1st owner, adult driven, 100k miles.

    I would keep the VR-4 you can always get an M3 later and theres always gonna be nice M3s whereas theres only like 5,000 most likely less of the vr-4s and finding one in georgia is a bitch. Plus u got AWD

    Keep the VR-4...20X cooler than an E36 M, more unique, rare, overall a cooler car.
