Both nice cars, but the Noble a local dealer had in stock didn't look too reliable.

Quite discerning eyes you have there.

One thing though, the E92 M3s do feel very soft & isolated.

The car is no doubt fast and smooth, but it's smooth in the sense that it feels like you are driving a Mercedes or something.
Have you driven a new M3? If so, they must soften them up for the HK market...or maybe you didn't have the suspension/DBW on the sportiest settings.

The owner of that Noble is at Cars & Coffee Irvine every Saturday. The car is incredible in person. I would take the Noble over an M3 any day...

Food for thought: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7een_tKp8q4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziWXw630e10

Weird comparison. If you are willing to daily drive a Noble it's opens up a lot of cars for comparison.

By the Noble and an old beater civic for 1,000. bingo.

M3's are overrated. They're nice, but the M is now a marketing tool, and not the raw, more true (IMO...don't kill me) M of old.

I'd DD a Noble, Ultima GTR, you name it. Luxury is overrated. I DD'd a car with just one seat, one belt, one floor mat, and a dash for over a year. everything else = stripped.
