Love this. I've brought up the Type R with my wife a few times and it never goes over very well. I know a guy who had a CTR and a ZL1 1LE... as nutty as that Camaro is, he still really enjoys the CTR. That says a lot and surprised my wife would rather me spend $80-120k on these other cars versus drive a boy-racer car that's still fun!

Right now I'm thinking of doing 2 cars... a truck or suv for towing a track car and a 2 door (cayman, m2, a Camaro or mustang variant in the track trims, or a Vette C7 or C8) ... still so many options tho!

M340i is on order. I will be sad to say bye to the M3 though for sure. I am pleased with the M340 though, a bit more comfort and tech for a few years will be a nice change.

I just recently did the same and planning to lease. I'm giving up the E92 M for a quick competent and comfortable ride. Honestly I think it will be a lateral move in the performance department with the only downside being no NA V8 but gaining utility and a more modern vehicle.

I can't believe you're making that switch.

Why? Our situation has changed a bit, i have a company vehicle now and the Mrs. was slated to get a new car so i will be driving the M340 less. We had intended to get (2) new vehicles, 1 for me and 1 for her. Now we only have to get 1. We wanted something that would make us both happy. This is a great compromise if you ask me. I've driven the M340 and was pleased with its power and comfort. It will never be the raw beast the M3 was and that's okay. After 3 years I got a bit fatigued over the rattles and road noise. Though it all went away when i took a turn or gave it throttle because the M3 was such a great car.

It was more rhetorical than literal.

Currently I drive a wonderful M140i 5doors

Waiting for the new M3, but I don't know if it'll be my next daily, for sure it'll be one of the options.

2022 BMW M3  [10.00]
I had both an F30 335 and E92 M3, but sold the M3 after 9 years of ownership.

The 335 is holding me over with an MPPK and MPE. It's kind of fun hearing turbo sounds and whooshes as oppose to the V8.

I debate selling the 335 for a G80 or keeping it as a daily, but after treating the E92 like My Italian grandparents plastic-covered couch all these years, I'd really like to enjoy the G daily.

New GT4 for $100k with a manual!?!? That would be an awesome alternative to an $80k M3.... problem is the GT4 is gonna be probably another $20k on top of that? Painful. Also if need another kid-hauler to justify it to my wife

hahaha! Luckily I wasn't one of those unlucky folks. GT4 supposedly won't be limited production which should help them sell like 11M of them? If they can be had at MSRP, it'll be very tempting. I'm in California where dealers mark up Fiesta STs tho hahaha...

did get told by a salesman this past weekend that I could get $10k off M5 competition .... that was really tempting to me (not my wife). M5 is beautiful, so fast, so nice, so subtle looking, but I just think the lack of flickability would make me tire quickly :-/

after lusting after M5Comps, 992S, GT4... I think the G80 M3 still may be the best choice for me... hurry up and start building the **** things!

If it is anything like the .2 GT3 they will build PLENTY of them. Just take a look at the number of GT3's, GT3 RS' and GT2 RS available in dealer inventory right now.

The new GT4 looks good to me although a lot of people are dumping on it. The Spyder looks amazing as well. So many amazing cars available right now.

Dumping on it? How do? Dumping their money or negative opinions?

I will say that the audio from the Nuvaring (as my wife calls it) has left me feeling a little disappointed but it's still way better sounding than a GTS. Maybe an exhaust mod and ripping out some do the emissions stuff will make it sound better.

Sure hope I can snag one at MSRP... although saving $30k and getting another monster track car (ZL1 1LE) seems like a good plan to me too...AND it has back seats so I can pick up the kids at school... as long as there are no speed bumps
