Finally!!!! BMW E30 M3 Vs Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3

[reelizmpro]

I thought the guy was an unbiased 3rd party and couldn't understand who would choose a 2.3_16 over an M3 (especially a sport evo) but it should be pointed out that Jason Cammisa is a long time 190 owner and member of 190revolution. Not exactly impartial. No wonder he chose the 190. His decision is based purely on his opinion without any reasoning behind it. He's basically saying, the 190 isn't as good as the M3, BUT it's the cooler car! lol. Quoted: "Jason Camissa from Automobile Magazine has one and the magazine did a nifty little article on his black 2.3 and the E30 M3 Sam Smith bought. You can read the article in the February 2007 issue."

^^^ Exactly. Finally some one who actually understands.

The 190 is clearly a better car, and Mercedes is clearly the superior car manufacture.

Points made about suspension seem completely irrelevant. Most enthusiasts would put GC's or KW in there anyway.

Plus a whole lot more bushes to wear out.

Only if you hit them when leaving the track...

Paging Snitch

I love both cars; the Beige makes the 2.3 look like crap, but both cars a great; If I had the choice, I would have both an e30 M3 and a 2.3.

Definitely not better than the M3 though... Cooler? Objective, but definitely not better

But, who can't love a Mercedes with a giant rear wing? Its like.. the epitome of rice and class all in one

this...ALL DAY LONG!

190e has multi-link rear suspension, more grip/stability

I lol'd at the m3 being a "star"

It just sounded silly to me.

M3 every time over the 190 though.

[archie]

Four door family race car or the two door sporty M3?
Sporty M3 for me please!

[JGee]

Great Video!
If its one or the other M3 all the way!

That video leaves you quite torn between two nostalgic, powerful cars. I have tons of love for the 190e 2.3, as i've been behind the wheel of one. I just don't think it compares to the aggressive, track ready feel of the m3. Very informative video though, kept me glued in the whole time.

lolwut middle easterns driving pugs wut

But in all seriousness, post pics of the 405? :pimp:

We just spent 2 weeks on the island of Crete. Rented a 308 hatch. Pugs are the greatest cars for crazy mountain roads like that. They have a very supple/compliant suspension, but somehow still have sharp turn-in and crisp, neutral handling. I don't know how they do it, but it's magic. Love Pugs!
