They are about the same price. And Im leaning towards the M3.





What is your opinion?

2005 Lotus Elise VS. 2003 BMW M3?
The Elise is so light, some consider it a big boy's toy. Perfect track car if you're the kind. Note that if you're looking for a luxurious interior, the Elise isn't it. The 2 aren't exactly in the same category (sports car vs. GT). you shouldn't have problems looking for a used M3 with a good price.
Reply:BMW M3. I've owned a number of BMWs and they are fantastic cars. The M3 is a hoot to drive. You'll love it.
Reply:BMW M3 I used to own one and it will eat up just about anything you come across on the rd.

cobras, vettes, NSX, supra, RX7, 350z.......it doesn't matter they can't keep up with an M3!
Reply:bmw is faster but the elise can out handle the bmw and you see less lotus Elises. Id go lotus
Reply:BMW is more practicle



Lotus is more of a real sports car and will handle better



Lotus is more unique



I'm not sure which I'd pick either.. I'd have to test drive
Reply:Depends what you are after.

The Lotus accelerates faster handles better and will give you more thrills. But it only has two seats a hard suspension ride and is not very practical.

The BMW gives you seats in the back a nicer ride and is a lot more practical. I would take the Lotus but I like an uncompromising vehicle. The M3 is definately the way to go if you don't go to trackdays, or you spend most of your time driving in the city.
