Selling my 98 NSX for 02 M3

[NSXBill2]

I too chime in from experience. I'm now on my 3rd NSX. The first 2 were red 93's. I decided I needed to change and went on to the complete other end of the torque spectrum to a Viper GTS, then a gorgeous 993, SL500, Vette Z06, S2000, M Coupe and more before coming back to a yellow 98 NSX. I don't regret the experience of owning the other cars because it was fun. But if you like to keep your cars then I would say you'll be missing the NSX.

You've heard the saying "the challenge isn't getting what you want, its wanting what you've got after you have it". ...

I hate to admit it because it ain't to nice to our pocket books but the only true logical evolution of an NSX owner is to a 355, 360, or 550. ...

I like the way you think

Guys, good effort but I think he's made up his mind.

Charley, good luck in your future endeavors!

Good luck to him, the E46 now has a huge recall on the engine bearing because they are defective from 2001 to 2003 or even 2004. This will explain why so many M3s are blowing up. It's amazing that I can find nice 2001 M3's for $29,000 already and it's only been 3 years. What a price drop.

Um, guys,
I decided to go with another NSX ........ like 8 months ago.
Here are the pics of my second NSX.

I have no regrets about not going with M3. I saw three M3s on the way to work today, and only one NSX (Mine).

I cancelled my 04 M3 order in Feb of this year and picked up an 04 NSX in May this year.
I still prefer to have semi-useful back seats to no back seats.
But I do love my NSX.
BE careful with 2002 M3s due to the engine proble. I think that is the year BMW made the engine correction.

The ride in M3 is much harder than the NSX.

Great decision, that is one sweet looking NSX :smile:. It sure look way more impressive than E46 M3.

Huh??? I've owned both a 2001 and a 2002 E46 M3 and did not find the ride any harsher than the NSX. Both of them were riding on 18 inch wheels perhaps you test drove a car with 19 inch wheels?

Possibly, It was a preowned model. I did not check the wheel size.

Charley,
i was in the same shoes about 3 months ago.
Look what i ended up with - 2nd NSX...

i've had 3, 5, 7, even X5, sure BMWs are much better overall comfy cars, BUT no matter which car you end up with, you'll miss your old NSX. I did!! very much!!

No cars (includ. M3s) can give you the RAW sports car feel, un-erasable grin from one ear to the next whenever you drive (my daily driver), 'what kind of car is that'-looks from people, smell (just had cat by-pass put in) and sound of incredible motor right behind your head, and lastly 'WHOAAAAOOOWWW' everytime i hit the 8,000 rpm note.....

trust me dude, been there done that many and many times (my wife hates that)

DON't cross over cause ya'll come right back, i guarOnteeeee!!!

'some people DRIVE their cars, we WEAR our cars'

my 02 cents


Jon

i could not agree more. i think the 3 series BMW's are nice cars. the NSX is something more than that.
