Given the fact that in Australia the M2C is probably going to be around the $120K mark and the Porsche GT3 starts at $350K plus the endless options list there is no comparison down in this part of the world when you are looking at cost. The car is 3 times as expensive. I have owned some older P cars before and they are amazing. I think they are the ultimate driving car. But when I test drove the current M2, I got a similar feeling to driving my older P cars. The M2 is a fantastic machine that you just love driving and you can use it as a DD. I cant wait for my M2C!
A nice used E46 here is just under $30K.
If i could afford the GT3 then I would get that and have the M2C as the daily driver.
