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.

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

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.

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.

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!.

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?

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!

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.

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
