This is a hard decision.
The M3 is alot more functional than the NSX. If I owned an NSX I would not have it as a daily driver. If your talking about a weekend car I would get the used NSX. The M3's resale value is good but a low mileage perfect condition NSX is just as good if not better. Now if you get it as a daily driver and rack up the miles on it... that's a different case.
As for the warranty, the M3 would give you 4 years, 50K miles mostly all maintenance covered. The NSX would probably be close to or out of warranty and I can imagine they will be pricey to fix.
Either way I think you'll be happy.

I'd say NSX.... Bimmer's seem to age REALLY quickly to me.... The previous gen M3 and alot of newer 3 series aren't head turners like an NSX is.... I'm thinking that the new M3 is not gonna have the same appeal in few months....

this is confusing......its like half the ppl will go with an m3...the other with the nsx...
It happens that there is a used m3 only 3000 miles (02)
and a used 98 nsx 8000 miles.The price is not that far apart,,and they r both black!
More opinions??

NSX-T for me
always been a dream car for me...definitely has the looks!!! has enough power for me...M3 at least has some practicality to it
has power, storage, room for more than 1 person, etc. but i'm not basing my decision on practicality here...i've always been in love with the look, both inside and out.

Review my initial post again because it's a matter of why you are buying it.

i think it comes down to how much PUSSY you want?
NSX
will get heads turning
girls dig it
cause indirect fender benders
its rare on the roads
pretty much for speed and show
or
m3
class
sport
speed
handling
big on safety
luxery
power
back seat
and more
damn thats a tough decison i would like to have both cars but at the age of 21 i know i should get an m3 but i would get the NSX eventhough i might regret it...
well it all depends on what you want and i think you cant lose either way

It's the smart choice. More practicality AND faster. The NSX turns an 8:38 lap at the Nürburgring, the E46 M3 does an 8:22. Much faster.

NSX at full throttle only sounds good in the cockpit. From outside you don't hear jack. But, you can always get an exhaust afterwards.
NSX pros:
One of the best sticks evar.
Great gearing.
Reliable.
Targa top is just dead sexy.
Comptech.
NSX cons:
Seriously outdated interior.
Body shakes with targa.
You'll be getting new tires with every other oil change.
Lots of penis jokes and stupid people calling you corvette wannabe.
Room for only 1 set of golf clubs.
Have to get aftermarket hids.
BMW pros:
4 seats.
Nice interior with creature comforts.
Great power and torque.
Classy looking car for any enviroment.
Can fit body in truck if needed.
BMW cons:
bmw dealerships (on average).
4 seats but only 2 doors.
Less reliability.
Looks may age quickly.
bmw stigma.

M3 all the way
IMHO oppinion, NSX is an excellent sports car for the 90s, but a so so sport car for the 00s. Power to weight ratio is similar in both vehicle, but M3 has proven to be a better sports car at the nurburding. I also think M3 has better resale. Look at the E36 M3 and you know why. And if TL-S comes out next year with 280hp that is basically a dead warrant to the old 3.2l DOHC VTEC. So, yeah M3 all the way no doubt!
exactly. I saw 4 M3's in the past 2 days.
