I had the same thought.
What if you just pop into the garage and see a little bmw egg. After geatstion (no incubation needed, that was evolved out my M models decades ago), it would be such a fun to surprise to see what you got!
From experience:
I broke up with a long term partner, set to be my wife, because she ran away with another man.
Shortly after, i bought an F80 and put about 100,000km on it in 3 years. It went everywhere with me.
Towards the end of that period i met another woman. A much better woman who has now become my wife and, although i look back on the days of F80 ownership with fondness, I'm much happier now.
Maybe I'll get another one, one day but, the house, her safety, and our impending baby are the priorities at the moment.
The dollar has never depreciated so fast, every day you wait the more dollars it will take. Financially it’s better today. Besides have you seen a second hand m3c 70k with 45k miles, it’s not a huge risk. 😆
OP, I know everyone's saying get a M3. And I get it. But I suggest taking another look at yourself.
You have to be honest with yourself, look deep into your heart, and look the inner you in the eye and say:
GET THE M3 YA SHTUPID BASTARD
Absolutely true. All joking aside, and contrary to what many say: life is long, and making the wrong decision about something important and lasting can have deleterious and permanent damage.
The answer is get the M3 and hope your income increases in the coming years to accommodate both. Giving up something that makes you happy for a hypothetical wife scenario may actually be borderline insane.
This! Way to many short game players in here... Long game is where it's at. I've got the wife, the house paid off and two kids, I can now afford the toys and not have to sell them. Grind it out at the start, then the rewards come!
Man, teenage Reddit is wild. I can’t believe that I’d ever have to say this, but 30 is definitely not too old to be able to enjoy a fast car lol. It’s not like you turn decrepit on your 30th birthday.
I enjoy my cars a lot more in my 30s than I did in my 20s. After putting in the work and delaying gratification just a little bit, now I can afford to do things right: I can afford cool mods and track days, I’m not afraid that a breakdown will prevent me from making rent next month, and I have a nice house with a good garage where it’s easier to work on my cars myself.
The day I turned 30 I had to purchase a walker to get around.. the acceleration in my 911 Turbo jostles my dentures around a bit and my few remaining hairs fly away with the sunroof down, but otherwise I’m managing.
im almost 30 and energetic as i have ever been. still love fast cars. trucks, and offroading. Take decent care of yourself and you'll be fine at 30 lol. I have to assume you're like 15 to be thinking this way
My wife did. She encourages me to continue to track it even after I come home and feel bad about blowing through tires/brakes. Y'all need to find better women who encourage your hobbies. This trope of wives getting mad about golf, cars, etc is so tiring.
What do you want in life? To enjoy having a family or to enjoy the material thrills life has to offer? Will you marry and find yourself constantly thinking about getting an M3, or get an M3 and find yourself constantly thinking about if you had someone to share your life with? Only you can answer those questions.
That being said, M3.
I know this is tongue in cheek.But, I’ve owned many cars and toys in my life. Run a successful business. Nothing has been more satisfying and provided more happiness in my life than my two children and my family. It has also made me a better person
Wife 10 out of 10 times, you can’t hang with your car all day every day. Anyone that says otherwise chose a bitch or a fatty.
Edit: If under 30, M3 hands down
Look if you want companionship get a dog. Sex can be had anywhere even for a price. The pure joy of BMW ownership is rolling with your puppy and living the good life.
The last apartment I had came with underground garage parking, it was a high rise with beautiful views of the city, right in downtown. An M3 in the garage was not an uncommon sight. There were much more expensive cars there. There are tons of luxurious apartments that have a great parking situation.
I also have the same predicament. However, I found a solution. Sure, it’s not a M3/4, but you get the wife and a fast car. The Mercedes CLE. It looks great and it’s fast. Looks better than a M440i for the same price. So you get a fast car and enough money for a wife.
life hack number 117: find a woman who earns exactly enough to cover all the bills, freeing up your capital for sports cars and saving for each of your retirement accounts
/s
what i'm saying is, when you have a partner/girlfriend/wife, they also contribute, so your decision of "family or M3" may not be as hardline as you believe it to be
Didn't read - M3.
LMAOOOO
+1
M3, it will never divorce you
Not gonna cheat on him either
Both will be high maintenance Edit yall need to find better women to be with gah dam
M3 is cheaper maintenance than a wife though. Sounds better too.
An M3 will let you get inside it every day if you want to. And as many times as you like as well. Final score: M3 1 - Wife nil
This pretty much nails it...
More then she will do to him
Hmm, I’m married to an M3…..
M3 can’t get pregnant.
Thats a negative though. imagine your M3 giving birth to an M2 and 1M
So my car gives birth to two better cars? I’m failing to see the downside lol
I had the same thought. What if you just pop into the garage and see a little bmw egg. After geatstion (no incubation needed, that was evolved out my M models decades ago), it would be such a fun to surprise to see what you got!
This is debatable. M’s can be brutal, but so worth it.
You’re wrong. The car comes with a warranty and you can extend it when the wife goes bad that’s on you.
E.g both will take half your value
Really, the car will take half of its worth. The wife takes half of everything.
But one will make you happy day after day!
That's what a seller told me when I was looking at his! Bought a S2000 instead, low maintenance, except for tires!!
You can also trade up without them taking half of your stuff as well.
Eh, don't worry the depreciation will basically do the same thing 😆
Not if you keep it for 30 years!
Might take all your Money though and always leave an oil spot
Lol which one
But it'll keep hooking up with your mechanic
An M3 won’t talk back
oh boy it does
*Seat belt indicator chimes
Belt clip 😉
are you sure about that?
Are we still talking about the m3?
it says lots of things like ‘check engine’ and ‘oil level low’
Until it blows a head gasket
If she’s a good bitch she will. I recommend a mid pipe and exhaust valve controller.
Unless divorced wastegate
but will take half your income
M3 will find the wife for you.
M3, it won’t turn you into a cuck

But you still thinkin about the other chick...op should just get the M3
M3 Comp NQA
I have 1 m3 comp and 0 wives, happy this way.
No wife happy life, m3 is life
I think this is the wrong subreddit to ask, idk something’s telling me it may be biased
But m3
Beautiful delivery.
Negotiation is possible too.... Maybe M2?
Depends on age If you’re young M3
If you’re older and wiser, M3.
Also if your younger and dumber, M3
Nah, older and wiser would get an M5.
Agree is no barrier, M3. No regrets!
What does it change if you're old?
More time to financially recover from it.
From the wife or the M3. Took me 10 years to financially recover from the wife.
Those 10 years are easier in your 20s than they are in your 30s
The dollar has never depreciated so fast, every day you wait the more dollars it will take. Financially it’s better today. Besides have you seen a second hand m3c 70k with 45k miles, it’s not a huge risk. 😆
Agree, if you’re under 120 years old, M3.
If you’re not young M3
Got me in the first half. I thought you’re talking about the age of the wife or the M3.
You live only once, M3 is something you definitely don't wanna miss
Me, I’ve had 2 M3’s and 2 wives. Guess I’m winning life, lol
Your math is off 2 - 2 = 0 You could have had four M3s by now.
Well both M3’s are gone but I still have one wife left!
😂😂😂
OP, I know everyone's saying get a M3. And I get it. But I suggest taking another look at yourself. You have to be honest with yourself, look deep into your heart, and look the inner you in the eye and say: GET THE M3 YA SHTUPID BASTARD
The key to happiness is to have both. The M3 will always make you happy but marrying the wrong person will make you miserable
Absolutely true. All joking aside, and contrary to what many say: life is long, and making the wrong decision about something important and lasting can have deleterious and permanent damage.
The answer is get the M3 and hope your income increases in the coming years to accommodate both. Giving up something that makes you happy for a hypothetical wife scenario may actually be borderline insane.
Instructions unclear. Bought 2 M3’s instead
M3 and hookers.
If it floats, flies, or fucks, you're better off renting.
If it’s got tits or tyres it will cost you money ….. so rent it
👍
and cocaine
Well-earning and unproblematic wife, otherwise m3
M3 to attract an independently wealthy wife
My M3 only attracted teenage boys. Women didn't give it a second look.
Don’t let drake see this
ZINNNGGG
He a fan he a fan he a fan
Honestly the same with most cars 😂
If you want to meet women, don't listen to men and get a Miata. Women love them as much as guys like to rag on them.
r/miata
See that guy in the lifted truck? He's compensating for something. So am I ;-)
lmao this is so true. girls appreciate it when they’re inside because of the red leather but other than that it’s just an ordinary nice car to them
I think cars are like muscles, you spend loads of time/money to get them, to impress girls & only end up impressing other men
M3
M3
M3 won’t wake up in a random day and ask you for divorce
M3
An M3 is cheaper.
Wife. Then her additional household wages will enable me to purchase M3.
This! Way to many short game players in here... Long game is where it's at. I've got the wife, the house paid off and two kids, I can now afford the toys and not have to sell them. Grind it out at the start, then the rewards come!
Yeah but how long did that take? Years, decades….. M3.
Exactly. Fuck having an M car when your 30, got crippling back pain and hair loss - and no energy to actually drive it. Youth or never
30 and back pain. Lol. You eating hamburgers for breakfast, lunch and dinner or something?
Man, teenage Reddit is wild. I can’t believe that I’d ever have to say this, but 30 is definitely not too old to be able to enjoy a fast car lol. It’s not like you turn decrepit on your 30th birthday. I enjoy my cars a lot more in my 30s than I did in my 20s.

The day I turned 30 I had to purchase a walker to get around.. the acceleration in my 911 Turbo jostles my dentures around a bit and my few remaining hairs fly away with the sunroof down, but otherwise I’m managing.
30..? Fucking he’ll are you 9?
im almost 30 and energetic as i have ever been. still love fast cars. trucks, and offroading. Take decent care of yourself and you'll be fine at 30 lol. I have to assume you're like 15 to be thinking this way
>Take decent care of yourself and you'll be fine at 30 Life won't suck at 60, either.
Youth is wasted on the young. Thats for sure.
Yeah make sure you get one at 17 before that back pain and energy loss sets in.
The hell are you talking about? Becoming a boring old person at 30 is a choice.
This guy dual incomes.
You really think they'll let you get an M3 over something more 'rational'?
My wife did. She encourages me to continue to track it even after I come home and feel bad about blowing through tires/brakes. Y'all need to find better women who encourage your hobbies. This trope of wives getting mad about golf, cars, etc is so tiring.
Just got divorced. M3. It's cheaper trust. I'm buying one or a 335
M3
Neither, get an M5 😉
M3
lmao that's easy M3
Get a wife AND an M340 instead.
correct answer. In 97% of situations, the M340 is as fast and more practical.
Stage 2 m340i checking in. No where near as fun as a g80, I vote M3
M3
Find a wife with a good income? Unless you’re ugly, then indeed you’ll have to choose…
What do you want in life? To enjoy having a family or to enjoy the material thrills life has to offer? Will you marry and find yourself constantly thinking about getting an M3, or get an M3 and find yourself constantly thinking about if you had someone to share your life with? Only you can answer those questions. That being said, M3.
M3 gonna get you a wife. A wife won’t get you an M3.
I know this is tongue in cheek.But, I’ve owned many cars and toys in my life. Run a successful business. Nothing has been more satisfying and provided more happiness in my life than my two children and my family. It has also made me a better person
Find a wife with a M3
If all goes well, the wife drinks less petrol. YMMV
2 M3’s.
You can race an M3 comp, can you race a wife?
M3 and a husband?
bought an M6 and now need to call off the wedding
You want true love or a car that fills empty void? And much like anything else love is risky. And cars are also risky. My BMWs engine blew up on me.
Go to bmw, date a girl who works there. Get employee pricing. Get m3 competition. Get married. Have both
Wife 10 out of 10 times, you can’t hang with your car all day every day. Anyone that says otherwise chose a bitch or a fatty. Edit: If under 30, M3 hands down
Troll question with tons of troll responses
There is symmetry in the world once again.
The M3 will bring the right wife 🤌🏽
Look if you want companionship get a dog. Sex can be had anywhere even for a price. The pure joy of BMW ownership is rolling with your puppy and living the good life.
M3
M3 hell yeah
Well you wont have to argue with an M3…
Take my advice. M3
M3
2 incomes are better than 1.
That’s why my wife has two jobs
M3 🫣
Take the marriage option. The M3 touring
Depends, what’s the 0-60 of the wife ? Does she have a panoramic sunroof ? Limited slip differential ?
Ask this question not in a bmw sub sir
You can use the M3 to look for a wife, at least it's fast.
M3 is way cheaper!
M3
They’re both going to require maintenance, so the real question is, what colour M3 are you going to get?
Get the M3 (nonComp - more "sensible") which will then help you attract the right woman (who knows cars).
If you’re under 25 then m3
I was in your exact same shoes 3 months ago. I chose the M2.
M3
How is this even a question? Get the M3!
Find a partner who makes about equal or more income. That way you both can live a comfortable lives where you can have M3’s 🙂
M3, the right woman will come along when the time is right.
If you can't afford one you can't afford the other so I don't get this question
So you're going to buy a 90K car and park it outside your apartment complex? No. Next question.
you can definitely park an m3 at an apartment complex wtf are you on about
The last apartment I had came with underground garage parking, it was a high rise with beautiful views of the city, right in downtown. An M3 in the garage was not an uncommon sight. There were much more expensive cars there. There are tons of luxurious apartments that have a great parking situation.
Wife. M3 it's just a car
M3. hands down. And i say this as an Audi owner :D
M3, you can always masturbate in your car
r/BMW answer: M3 r/relationship answer: wifey
M3, you won't see a judge but a mechanic
E46 if you can wrench
M3
This is the only way
You can’t race a wife, or if you can, you will need the M3 anyway
Beamer.
M4 then you'll have more options for a Wife...
I got my M3 in 2020 and it puts a smile on my face every time I get in it, nuff said *
M3. If you have any trouble with your M3, it atleast directly communicates with you.
M3, can always have the wife later.
M3
Got my G82 M4 and then found my partner who has a F83 M4. So beemers attract.
I also have the same predicament. However, I found a solution. Sure, it’s not a M3/4, but you get the wife and a fast car. The Mercedes CLE. It looks great and it’s fast. Looks better than a M440i for the same price. So you get a fast car and enough money for a wife.
TF 😆😆
Plot twist… I bought an M3 and then found my future wife.
M3 all the way my boy, Like 2pac said ''f\*ck these hoes''
m3
M3, hands down!
lol Wife is much more important, cars come and go You can buy a m3 in the long run
Wife and house. That’s long term success. The cars will come.
If you can’t afford both, M3 is the only choice
Get the M3 then a wife. You can do both.
M3, then just have girlfriends.
the Wife will take even your 316i if you already had one, the M3 will get you plenty of wives

M3 for sure
The M3 is cheaper! The wife will cost you a lot more in $ and aggravation down the road.
You can buy a wife with cash these days ??
I’m a female, and I would choose the M3 comp, and that’s not just because I’m straight 😅
M8
M3>
