I had my 2006 M3 for 2 years and never had one problem with it. Its also a great car, but make sure you are prepared for the maintenance costs that come with a BMW if you plan on taking it to the dealership for servicing. A oil change will cost $100+.

Can't speak for the E46 330 ZHP, but I love the way they look and think they would be nice daily drivers!

I do agree with you. If you prefer a MT AWD performance car the GSR is a perfect car. Mitsu just forgot a long 6th gear for decent highway cruising - only flaw I can see (doesn't apply to me because I barely ever drive on highway).

for me it was 2 reasons... first being that the MR's mileage has not shown to be that much better than the standard GSR... second... some people don't have thousands of extra dollars to spend on the MR.

I thought the Evo X would be a good compromise between the M3 and my goal of the ultimate daily driver.

Well, after owning the car for 8 months and putting 17k miles on the car, I have finally decide to trade the Evo in for a BMW 335. My biggest gripes about the Evo were no 6th gear for highway cruising (which is 95% of what I do) and a extremely small gas tank. If Mitsubishi would have put a 6th gear (with a reasonable overdrive) and a 15-18 gallon gas tank, it might be a damn perfect car.

Its a great car and I will certainly miss it.

Not a bad choice

congrats! 335i is definitely a better DD than an Evo!
