Please feel free to comment your opinions. I have put BMW M3 competition as well but it's really stretching my budget. I will using the car for daily commute in city and some occasional road trips. YOE 8 Future TC 300k Current TC 🥜
Enjoy a gas powered vehicle while you can. Eventually we'll all be moving to electric in the future anyway. Also, Teslas look lame.
“While you can” Haha we’ll be dead before combustion engines are gone.
I mean some time in the near future, electric cars will become no brainers in terms of performance, looks, cost and other tax incentives. Till we get there, enjoy a gas guzzler.
TC and YOE or GTFO

I am going to schedule it soon. I am trying to find M3 competition and M340 in the same showroom.
M3 or M340i all the way!! Don’t see why Tesla is even on the list if you actually want that feel of a good performance vehicle. You won’t have the same fun driving a Tesla, it’s too plain.
I have the same thoughts but based on the cost and estimated time of delivery, I thought it might be a decent option. Atleast, the specs are pretty insane on paper.
Yeah true you might need to wait longer. But I guess a Tesla and a BMW M series are two very different driving experiences. I personally love the M series
Tesla design is aging and never updated. To me, they already look very 2015 and I think will be very long in the tooth in a year or two. How it looks matters a lot.
True. I don't really like the looks of the Model 3 tbh.
Looks matter! You want to get into what makes you feel good.
M3 comp is in a class of its own compared to the rest. And trust me if it’s at the top of your budget you don’t want to drive an M
Is the maintenance and fuel cost that bad?
It’s expensive on any German car, but on M’s and AMG’s especially. I’ve owned both and never regretted a second. If you love your car it won’t hurt that bad at the end of the day What do you drive now?
If you love driving then BMW is the way to go
I have the 2021 performance model 3 and I fucking love it
Did you take it out on road trips? Is it your primary car?
Yup and yup. It’s my primary and have taken it on a 2k mi + road trip. It’s not great for road trips due to battery charging. But a fucking blast of a daily driver.
What is the markup for a M3 competition at the moment?
Also, you could consider Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. It is a really good offering too.
So my build cost is around 82k but the one that is available with similar options is 87k.
I don’t see M5 being an option !
Way out my budget. :(
