300+ HP cars, what do you have or would get? quote: Used M3 This is what I'd get. I'd look for a used e46 that's already been through the subframe and vanos repairs.

I have a 2002 M3 and it hands down is the best car I've ever had. The subframe you speak of I've never had an issue with nor the vanos, but I maintain it according to the book and it's just a good machine. The redline at 8000 rpm is fun to play with and the only shortcomings in the car from my standpoint were solved by UUV short shift kit, buy the extra metal cross support, a clutch stop. The first owner installed Eisenmann exhaust which is cool but expensive. Plus gas mileage is good. I have several choices in my garage of more expensive and modern cars, but the M3 seems to get first nod. My 2008 911 has sat up for over a month just because the M3 is easy to deal with and a lot of fun.
