M3 vs 2010 5.0 Mustang GT
- Thread starter Hey Julian!
- Start date
You can laugh all you want but search private party sales and go to a couple of the M3 forums and read what the OWNERS of the car have to say.
The M3 stopped having great resale with the E46.
now i would totally buy that answer , even more so that i'm no car expert, but i did notice however in the first video from the 220 mark brake lights flashing on the mustang so if as you this also causes this then i'm sold.
Actually, I wasn't a big fan of it at first buts it's grown on me a lot since its debut and with all the glowing reviews...I've been thinking about it...
manhertm said:Arguing the resale value of a luxury car is futile. They are gonna lose more of their value faster than less expensive cars. Especially in the first few years. Luxury resale values have never been good unless your taking about a Lexus. Ford resale value has been on a steady increase of the last few years, because of quality improvement. At any rate the test wasn't a comparison of features, but performance. Even though the Mustang lost, it was well within range of beating the M3 that alones makes it an interesting comparison. The M3 has lost some of it's appeal by growing in size and adding a V-8. It's 400lbs heavier than the E46 M3, which is still arguably more desirable.
In general...yes...and sometimes dependent on geographical location. However, my point is that this particular model will be a treasure for enthusiasts for years to come. Simply being that M3's have generally been tuned (inline?) 6 cylinder engines. For the e92 series, they dropped a V8 for added performance before they switch to twin turbo tech.
To each his reach...as an auto enthusiast, i would absolutely select the e92 over e46 and def' over the GT.
do you actually own an M or a 325i,328,etc...?
I think the obvious choice given the money would be the M3, but this video was strictly to address people discounting the GT's handling cred, there's no other reason to compare these, the M3 is in a totally different price range for a reason.
An M
me 3......
I've owned every generation of M3 except the current.....
this is a stupid comparo by the way..........people who are looking at M3's don't care about how it stacks up against a Mustang, and people who are looking at Mustangs have obviously bad taste in cars, them shits are fugly!!

I've seen worse comparisons. Do you remember the GMC Syclone vs Ferrari 348
While it might be business as usual for the M3, I think the article does shed light that the Mustang has come a long way, and that it can be mentioned in the same sentence as a M3, performance-wise with a straight face. Will it convert BMW owners, of course not. Will it get some new Mustang owners due to the fact that it hung closely with an M3? Sure
Yup

That is purely your opinion and you know what they say about opinions.
The BMW M3 is a performance icon, Ford did a great job getting the new Mustang GT up to snuff.
Its always good to see american muscle bitch slap the imports.

Too bad that didn't happen in this thread

When it runs neck and neck with a import that costs twice as much, oh yeah it happened.
If it's just about speed, I know 100 piece of shit hondas that'll beat them both. Is that what you think ur paying for? Or is one paying for quality, aesthetics, overall performance and prestige?
that's a good look for Ford..and all thos live axle complainers are pretty quiet about now.

Glad to see that there are some knowledgeable bimmer heads on the board; im used to hearing "beemer" owners talk about how powerful of a "v6" they have in their car...
I am a long time Bimmer owner and couldn't agree more. Whether it is spending my free time hunting for the perfect e30 m3 or trying to make my wife's car into one of turner motorsport's cars against her will, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
