I test drove a 2002' BMW M-3 TODAY. :)

[MYNSX]

Stopped by the dealer "just window cuious".
Very nice car.Great features.Very quick.

With the 60 year old sales person in the passenger seat I raced 1 Mustang Cobra and 3 other BMW's on the 51 freeway .(my passenger let me play a bit)At one point I got the car sliding sideways LOL .I looked over @ the passenger as he smiled.

I couldn't believe we were @ 120-130mph when we were.The sales guy thanked me for an exiting test drive.He said it "made his day".
And wished more people were as adventurous.
I invited him to sit shotgun in MYNSX one weekend.

maybe we'll find someone to "drag" down the road.

(you had to be there)

These are the little things that make me smile .

It's not just a TEST DRIVE "Its An Adventure!!"

Focused driven and persistent
never ceasing never ending!!!

MYNSX,
Care to give us a personal comparison of the M3 and the Nsx? My friend is contemplating an M3 and I was just curious as to how you feel it compared against the Nsx. Thanx.

U da man MYNSX!!!

I'd drive shotgun with you...but i'm stuck down under.

If u meant drive with a literal shotgun, i can do that too!

yeah... would love ur thoughts comparing the NSX and M3 handling.

 

[MYNSX]

Hmmmm.
OK they are two totally different worlds.

M3
-lot of cool buttons(electronic everything)
onboard computer tracking of all it's "stuff".

NSX
-less buttons and luxury items like 6 way powered memory lumbar seats.
--------------------------------------------
M3
-elegant sports car.

NSX
Exotic sports car.Better shock value.OOOHH My God effect "I call it"
---------------------------------------------
M3
-Great power.especially off the line.1st and second gears especially(feels more torqy)

NSX
-smoother (assuming stock) but not as torqy in 1st and 2nd.But I'd imagine the NSX would reel the M3 in
--------------------------------------------
M3
-great handling (Some body roll)Feels less stable.

NSX
-IMO handles better as well as less body roll.
--------------------------------------------

M3
-Solid feel doors are like a tank door (in a quality way)

NSX
more nimble feeling body (but refined as well)
--------------------------------------------
M3
-nice daily driver (for a business type person)

NSX
-IMO better for the free spirited ,young at heart,and not lazy (needing total power steering)
--------------------------------------------

M3
-nice to go out to the office or dinner.

NSX
-You own the office
-Free valet service ( but not as much room for left-overs from the resteraunt)
--------------------------------------------

M3
-respectable looks.

NSX
-jaw dropping looks .IMO
More powerful presence.
---------------------------------------------

M3
-no road noise very quiet cabin

NSX
- Possibly more road noise (but I prefer to "hear" my V-tech anyway
---------------------------------------------
M3
-relatively plush

NSX
IMO More plush (stock)
--------------------------------------------
M3
-good clearance (no front end oops into the drivway)

NSX
Ok the M3 got me there.
--------------------------------------------

M3
-I'd let other's (wife,girlfriend etc.)drive it and not worry they would have a problem.

NSX
-I always have to prep the drivers of MYNSX.

---------------------------------------------

Overall I prefer the NSX for my personality.
Although as I mature I could see why people might prefer the M3
--------------------------------------------
Id "date" the M3
I'd "MARRY" the NSX!!!

FOCUSED DRIVEN AND PERSISTENT
NEVER CEASING NEVER ENDING!!!!

thanx bill... your thoughts are good and pretty objective (for an NSX owner

)... with a bit of humor... love it.

BMW should have asked you to drive in one of their <A HREF="http://www.bmwfilms.com">BMW Films</A>... maybe we'd have a "Getaway in Scottsdale" movie afterall!!!
