Depends what kind of a car you want as a daily. Evo 9's are very very lovely cars inside and out though. Close mate has one and it is a proper proper weapon. Goes like absolute fucking stink and is comfortable-ish obviously won't be as comfy as an M3. Different types of cars really M3 will have more comfort and toys I would think, Evo more of a driver's car.

assuming you're not going to modify then BMW for me

if you're going to tweak it then Evo

I personally wouldn't want to use an Evo everyday unless you do very little miles. E46 M3 gets my vote

CRAIG HAYTER

330d sports are really good with alot of torqueas for the car choice hard one iam going to go with e46 m3

Rick

M3 for a Daily.

yeah im thinking im edging towards e46 m3 but now ive just seen the v10 m5 20k but looks nice

NUTTIN RILLA

M3 mate, far beeter build quality, far better all rounder, and in my eyes a far better car

Heres mine






Fucken great cars mate and want for nothing.


Plus you dont get the urge to tune them like a turbo charged car.

Good luck whatever you decide

M3 for me, Evo is just to uncomfortable and cheap in comparison.

Far better daily drive.

Now if it was a mega handling modifiable supercar slayer you was after i would go with the evo.

IMO evos aren't very nice cars to be in so has to be the beemer for me.

matts1

like the evo's but the M3 imo is a nicer alrounder.

M3 for me too, whole lot of car for the money

Paulo P

I chose the M3 too. The facelift has a longer boot handle and LED rear lights. The M3 is a very nice daily driver, it has enough equipment to be nice to drive without being too minimal but if you want fun that is on tap without thinking about it. I still like evo's but when it came to spending my money it was M3 all the way.

rs_traynor

if its an m3 make sure you get the csl mate

ajamesc

id go evo as there really nice cars or merc mate the thing is with e46m3s is they just look so chav!

Paulo P

Nice call there but have you seen that CSL's are still Ł25k and they aren't likely to fall below that

pani_k

iTrader: (1)

Never seen cars hold value as well as a CSL but for a daily can't really be a CSL can it has to be full fat M3.

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

i did look at the CSL but no radio and aircon would kill me they do look nice tho

fish99

If you just want a daily car, comfortable etc etc, then I would say get the beemer. If you want a car that is comfortable, goes like stink but always puts a smile on your face then get the EVO.

I had an EVO 8 and it was a lovely car to drive... fook me was it quick and thirsty.

Evo for me

I dont have the saff as its a nice car its just the engine mate i have it as its fast when tuned! I dont use it much these days as i also have a c36 merc. Round my way every other little boy with a good job has an e46 m3 and i take it u have never been to slough lol. Did u ever see the top gear when clarkson had to drive one and he dressed as an estate agent lol summed it up 4 me!.

Ash170990

Evo 9 Anyday.......

rs_traynor

hardly look chav mate

rs_traynor

thats ok worth every penny.

rs_traynor

i was up in dyce today and passed cottage cars theyve got a white e46 m3 in white for 17k looked great worth every penny

neilscott83

I think the e46 looks dated but would make a better daily drive than the Evo. If you can get a decent v10 m5 for 20k Id go for that over the Evo or the m3. I very much doubt you'll get one that's not catd or been for a trip to the moon and back at that price though. Also think about maintenence the Evo is serviced every 6 months or 4500 miles so an m3 will be easier to live with just depends if you want a car that every other fuckers got just my opinion thought about an rs6?

Where?

ajamesc

Not really its just a nice car and not every other ''big time business man'' lol in his pin strip suit on tan shop muscle man has one lol. May be its just different around wear i live but its just my view i know lots of others like them but i think bmw ruined the car by makeing them too commen!

phil_rs

iTrader: (3)

I'm not saying they aren't nice cars and very very capable, I really do like them. They seem to be far more common round here than m3's though, but not the reason I would choose the m3 though for a daily.

there was one on ebay last night 21k i think it was but soon went i think.

m5 v10 awesome mate but for a decent one 25k+

TT300

Well ive just sold my e46 m3 which i was using as a daily driver as i got so bored! They really arent that fast and its quite embarrassing what modern diesels do to them in a straight line.

After i sold it i was looking into evo 8/9s but went for a TVR instead as i really dislike the sound of turbo cars
