Wow M3 to 86! How do you rate the 86 in comparison?
I'm sure the average M3 owner is also a lot older than you.

Adam86 · 04-26-2013, 05:13 PM

the m3 was a v8 so power difference is huge i do find the 86 in a straight line is abit slow but otherwise its easier to run petrol wise and its more fun in the bends ofcourse. love my 86 but i do miss the m3 quite abit!!! im not sure hey didnt really know anyone with a m3 last year so ya.... i rate the 86 7/10 just the space is abit cramped lol
