Default meem... M3 or TT.

I just have to know. Both of your cars are beyond badass. I would love to have one of each... I must know how they compare.

Usually people are very passionate one way on the Audi/BMW argument, its refreshing to see someone who owns both.

Default love both cars for different reasons

for me, the tt is a design icon and the m3 is a performance icon (that also looks nice). the tt started specifically as a nice "beater" (i bought it used believe it or not) but now i've put so much into it (cash and effort) that i couldn't treat it that way. so instead it's my daily driver and the one that sees winter weather.

in terms of driving dynamics, the two are totally different. the m3 has more power, raw excitement, better balance and is generally more "fun" -- but only on dry days. also, pragmatically speaking, the tt actually can be driven in a "peppier" manner around town without ire from the locals.

(note: my comments are based strictly on my modded cars -- ymmv.)

Default then we can agree to disagree :P

drivetrain wise, the M3 gets owned IMO. Looks, I do like the flared M3 fenders, but the 335i is really, really growing on me..... And the riduculous torque curve is SUCH a blast. Our exhaust will be on it next week
