I am currently owning a 1998 E36 M3 sedan auto since day one and a brand new 10-series.

My concern is: Are the two cars two similar in terms of performance? If so, should I avoid the overlap and get rid of the M3? I feel somewhat reluctant to sell the M because a one-owner one is very hard to find….

Just like to hear what you have to say. FRS is such a great car that will not cost me as much to maintain as the M.

any input will be greatly appreciated!

all depends on your finances, but make one a track toy and the other a DD.

Even though the E36 is one owner it's the much less desirable auto. I doubt you'll get what you want for it. I would keep it so you have a 4-door car also. Is the FR-S manual? If so I would keep the E36 for sure.

If it does not hurt you financially i would say keep the m3 and use it as your daily. Blaine is right that the auto will be a lot less desirable, but you like and four door can be more practical for everyday use.
