Alright I have a 95 cosmos m3 with just under 75,xxx miles. My question is should I keep it and continue to mod my as such planned or should i scrap that idea and trade her in for something else? I was thinking along the lines of EVO, G35, 02 M Coupe, things along that line. I love ///M cars yet the price of everything blows. Yet I dont mind if the car is as sexy as they are...yet again I would like to ask in everyones honest opinon what would you do...??? Maybe e46 M3??? Let me know???....
Thanks

Huh? You want to trade for somthing cheaper, but you are looking at M coupes and e46 m3's? I don't understand the goal here. Oh and you use the word 'yet' too often ;)
its all up to you lols. I dont understand when people ask the forums what they should do with there car. Do what you want :) everyone here will say keep i or upgrade to the e46 m3...

Ask yourself what you want in a car, and what your budget is. All of the cars you listed are fun and fast, some have less personality, others have more. Some are going to get you looks more than others or satisfy you more to own, while others will be fun, but not to own. Go drive them all and see what you think.
The only one I have driven is the Mcoupe, awesome car with a lotta character. Id buy one but e36 M3s are cheaper and still great and more practical.

Try to drive them all in one day. Take some time to set up a series of test drives over a weekend. Driving back to back is what helped me most. When you have weeks in between, it's hard to keep an accurate comparison.
G35s are very nice. I almost bought one. Out of your choices, an 02 M Coupe would be my choice. But then again, I can't tear myself away from bimmers.

I'm in the exact same situation right now. I can either sell my car and get an 02' M coupe with low miles, or a e46 M3 with medium miles.
But then going all out with a complete rebuild on my car would be sick as well. It's a real tough choice.

I think both an m coupe and a 996 Porsche would be nice options. You mentioned that the cost of everything blows, which IU'm assuming to mean parts,etc. If you think your current car cost a lot to repair/maintain then neither one of these is a good choice, Porsches cost a ton to fix and the m coupe is the same drivetrain.
I didn't love the g35, the motor was excellent but the interior was awful. Did you ever consider a corvette? The styling doesn't excite me but they are great sports cars and reasonable to repair and mod.
