You could buy an ratty e30 m3, e36 m3 and e46 m3 for 81k and actually be driving cars that were designed to be M-cars instead of a pretty cool parts bin car.
our e36 M3s are the parts bin cars

1M has bespoke bodywork - not parts bin.

I personally think the M2 is shockingly ugly from every angle.

If I could walk into a dealer right now and buy a lightly owned 1M vs an M2 for the exact same price (and warranty) there would be no question I'd take the 1M.

I'm not alone on that. We were posting 50k examples of 1M's last year - everybody said they'd come down when the M2 arrived. Incorrect.



As for a (maybe) good buy (for some):

R56 mini's with a bunch of work done dropping down below 10k. I loved my R56 mini, despite it being plagued by first year production issues. I've been thinking about dipping my toe back in the water for a daily. Something like the above that's had a bunch of somebody else's money spent on it already.
