would you sell a stg2 s4 for a s50 swapped e30 m3?
so im considering selling my stg2 s4 to get an e30 m3. its in amazing condition, and it has an s50 engine swapped into it, plus some engine mods, so id figure its got around 260-280hp. in a 2700lb car thats pretty good. plus the e30 m3 is probably the best looking german sedan ive ever seen.
id probably get around the same straight line performance, but in cornering it would be much better.
the only thing stopping me from buying it is that i wont have awd, im getting an awd winter beater, but the s4 is just so damn fun in the snow, and i dont know if id have as much fun in a slow 4000$ subaru/audi.
right now im leaning towards the m3, what would you do in my position?

i sold my S4 for a......
2004 Mini Cooper S!
Finally got rid of the S4 too many issue starting to happen.
Only reason i went through was that they have me a good amount of money for my S and kept my payments close.
So yea ill be lurking but the MCS is my baby for now.
Planning on picking up a Early 90's audi for random bad weather and winters.

definitely, without a second thought or regret
is that clear?
Few months back I was in the passenger seat when a fellow AW'er with a SIII car ran an E30 M3 with what I assume was a S50 swap in it...it was close. The SIII car barely pulled on the M3 at highway speeds and up.

a good friend of mine has 4 e30s ... and i recently parted out my convertible .. they are old cars
but they are a GREAT car, especially for how cheap they are now. but they are 20 years old and have tons of random issues. that said, an m52 turbo, or an s50 swap makes them awesome to drive.
another good thing about them, is you can regularly find deals on beat up ones for around ~500 bux. so you can get a bunch of them and use them for parts/part them out
like tony said, i would keep the s4. its a much nicer luxury car.
