Ultimately driving these cars will help me decide, so I’ve booked a dct f82 m4 on Turo. I’ll probably test drive a GT350, but I’m more interested to try a new platform unless a GT350 is that good. Issue is 2019-2020 GT350’s are quite more expensive than the f82 m4’s. With my GT costing $25,000 I seriously doubt a GT350 at $75,000 is 3x the driving experience. Plus from my research, and f8x bmw is more reliable than a gt350.
Now you know why I no longer own the GT350 and I'm in a 2017 GT. Sweet spot, IMO. There's no doubt the GT350 is a better car, but I agree it isn't 3X. And for street driving, I think my 2017 GT PP1 with some mods is a better choice. It's actually better acceleration between 0-40 or so. I paid about the same for my GT as you.

And if you want to go to the track, consumables for the GT are cheaper as well.

As someone who owned a e92 M3 before trading it for a GT350, I love both cars but I do miss the M3 for daily use. My 350 is a pure track car now and I've considered going back and getting another M3.

If you are planning to put a lot of miles on it the 350 won't be as comfortable as the M3. But the 350 will be a better track car

The 2018+ 10 speeds are faster in a straight line than a Gt350! But Then again the 350 was never designed for straight line speed, lol!

Yeah but those cars have direct injection and an automatic transmission. Plus the styling is not my cup o' tea.

Love the eruption green. Beautiful color.
Thank you! If they made the 350 in this color it would be the perfect car imo!
