2005 may be the last year for the E46 M3. If resale value is any concern to
you, there`s some measurable risk that BMW *might* just get the next body
design right (hey - they`re *clearly* over due) which would surgically remove
a good chunk of value from the old design...

dollars wise, fully loaded the M3 comes out to around 65k, whereas the 911
starts out in that price range. you can easily spend another 10-15k just to
personalize it........and you will want to do this. if you can afford it,
go for the 911.
my brother has a 2003 M3 bought in 12/2002. it needed a new transmission
during the first 6 months. then the stick shift BROKE off in his hand while
shifting. yes, BROKE off. the BMW service center said this is the first
they have seen this. they said they have seen stick shifts come out of
their place before, but never brake off. he has also had other small
problems with the power windows and power door locks.
the car has been in for service at least once every 2 months. he decided to
call BMW to complain, but they did not give a shit. their answer was "not
all of our cars have problems like this."
i am not a BMW basher. i own a 2001 530i and my wife drives a 2002 X5. we
have had no problems with these cars.
