IMO I would get this if I had a DD any day over an E92M. How about you guys?

That's not a bad price. Finding a repair place would be quite interesting, but it looks more exotic than an M3 (notice I didn't say prettier). An M3 would definitely be cheaper to fix though, at least for a couple years.

I never got into the looks of this car, especially the Hyundai Sonata tails. But I've seen and heard one in person, and it sounds great. The Ford Duratec is one of the better-sounding sixes.

An Mcar is usually the DD. The noble does have more of a ''specialness'' factor. I dont know too much about reliability and fit and finish though.

I'd only get it if you plan to track a lot. Very cool find!

I drove a new M3 sedan last night, and am in love w/ that glorious V8, so I'd prob. still go w/ that over a kit car.

If you plan on reselling it anytime soon, the M would be easier to sell.

You can't compare both cars...

What's up with the rear on the Noble? Looks cheap and ugly.

M3 is the total package, the Noble is a fancy kit car. For only track work, with money to burn, the Noble. Otherwise, the M3 is a no brainer.
