I commute between 30 and 50 miles per-day in my M3 in Atlanta. I'm also not thrilled about the parking / safety problems. In general, however, ACM's advice works for me... park waaaaaayyyy out where there's nobody to ding your doors and pick your neighborhoods when you can. The M3 makes a nice enough daily drive so long as it's very regularly washed and etc. Diego


How many people here get nervous when they leave their m3 in a parking lot and/or are in a 'bad neighborhood' .. anything that you do to try to minimize the chance of vandalism ?

Because of this little fact I have been considering getting a more toned down vehicle like a 2001 Acura CL Type S. Its definitly not a sports car like the M3, but i only have 26k to work with and i question how good an m3 i can get for that.

In fact ..My brother has been trying to convince me that for 25k I can get a whole lot more car in the CL Type S (Less mileage, more comfort, more gadgets.. etc), and that the M3 requires a 2 car lifestyle(ie.. need a Commuter car, and use the m3 as the weekend car) .. and that it doesn't make sense to use for your everday life .. anyone care to comment on this viewpoint


Thanks ..

Lane
