Driving it in the city, it felt like any other BMW.

I think you made the right choice, i came from the 335i coupe, not a M3, but enjoy the FRS way more as the 335i felt boring almost all the time.

The only think you will miss i think is comfort and a quiet cabin when your tired. In the BMW i could drive 600km and feel fine. In the FRS, after 300km you begin to get tired.

Anyways, instead of paying stupid payments on a BMW, i sold it and now have a honda accord for daily and work and FRS for summer and fun. The accord does everything the BMW did, give me a pleasant ride that is comfortable and quiet.


Solution? I am keeping my E36 M3 for weekends and am enjoying it more than I did when it was a daily driver. Just slogging thru traffic was not fun in that car.


The FRS is much more fun as a DD than the M3- low seating position, quick steering, and you don't have to be breaking any laws to have fun.
