Thats the point of the comparison...get something new for $25K or a used sports car. I would never consider an E46 M3 for a second car, or in this case a DD.
Having owned 2 E46 M3s and now my 2nd E92 M3 I am looking for a day to day driver and I am going to get a Fiesta ST. I drove the car extensively and I was blown away with this car. Yes it is really that good. For those of you with your fanbois responses save the bandwith...don't care.
Now if I only could have one car and it was a choice between a nice E46M3 or the Fiesta ST? I would choose the E46 M3, but I would have to be able to afford the maintenance that is involved with a 10yr.+ old car. It would have to be in excellent shape. I've seen a few for sale that were just beat to crap. If I couldn't afford expensive repairs and needed a car with a warranty, a Fiesta ST would get my vote. The point of the comparison.
What I found laughable about the video is accusations on the behavior of BMW M drivers...and he drives an Audi. LOL
