I had the chance to go test drive an M3. I would have got a good deal on it (I have good terms with the BMW folks near where I live) but chose to get the non-S 997.

They are all great cars and they all have strengths and weaknesses.

I happen to really like my Carrera.
I'm not saying anything different from you, buy the car best for you.

I happen to like my M3 and it is stronger in certain areas.

Nobody gives a **** about my opinion? I disagree considering the PM's I have been receiving, you just don't like what I am saying. I would say there is more ignorance coming from your side.

The only reason you consider my opinion trolling is because it goes against yours.
If you read Rice Eater's thread, he is only stating that his car is a turbo, no comparison between the M3 and his, yours is faster hands down (sorry Rice)

As for the PM's sending your self them doesn't count, and incase you aren't sure what a Troll is;

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response...yup that sounds like your posts.

And Ignorance is Bliss in Munich! I like the BMW's I just don't believe they are as great as you seem to think they are. So acknowledging them being a good car is more then you seem to be able to do.

You are right, my M3 posts in an M3 vs. 997 thread definitely fit the definition of trolling. Are you familiar with the definition of sarcasm?

You have taken the thread way OT, no further point.

Like I said, trolling...In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response...yup that sounds like your posts.

I tell you what, next time a M3 vs 997 thread comes up, I will not post anything if you stay under the rock that you crawl from under from every now and then, and you refrain from wasting your breathe.

See, now you are going to get the thread locked.

Read your definition of trolling, then read your second statement. Just because you have a 997 does not mean you are immune from being a troll yourself.

please let's not argue about who is right....etc

I did not mean to start an argument, just wanted thoughts/experiences about both cars from owners. I personally love BMWs, and that takes a lot to say considering the bull**** I have been through with my last 2 cars....just considering venturing into new territory next time around. I guess a Z06 could be an option as well....if anyone wants to chime in about that, opinions welcome.

You have more than enough information and links at this point to come to a conclusion.

There is also another thread in the forum (among countless others previously) on the z06. Much of this material is re-hashed, I suggest using the search tool.
