E92 M3 or 1 M Coupe

If you are driving an MCoupe then go for the V8 M3, you will miss the feeling of an M Car in the 1M, handling wise it would be very close, in performance the 1M will feel much better at the bottom end & the way the torque curve is, it's easy & relaxing to drive but if u are driving a Z4M the 1M will be completely different to you...The power delivery & rawness on a normally aspirated M car cannot be matched. I know cos I drive both worlds. My 135i is faster than my Z down the 400 but my Z still makes my heart pound faster every time I drive her. My advice get a V8 M3, from 09 DCT, MDynamic & it will make you smile....12.6 is possible stock if u r on the coast....These machines will be highly in demand as soon as the new M3 is out. M Rawness cannot be matched especially here at the coast. After the 500M mark my MCoupe start's to pass the 135i & is 2 cars ahead on the 1km. Guess the DCT & launch control has an advantage but exit speeds are the same on the 400M. Only thing I miss now on the 135i is the LS Diff, I just fitted the BMW Performance Suspension, well worth the money spent on it. If the suspension did not work out I was going to sell & go for V8 DCT. Love the DCT but out of motorplan box is R110K. I'm keeping Z4M, easy to maintain after plan with normal manual box. Car's are getting too technically advanced these days out of mplan only the elite will afford to own & maintain for me it's took risky & does not make financial sense. So a neat E46 M3 man, Z4 M, V8M man & 1M will fetch a high prices in 10years time as people will be able to maintain these car's. I'll see how my 135i DCT g/box holds out otherwise will get it replaced just b4 mplan ends if I plan on keeping it. Happy motoring.
