What did you sell/trade for your 3?

Another BMW. I had a '16 M2 6M/T before. I knew it was time to go with the maintenance costs eating me alive. My local dealer wanted to (over)charge me almost $1000 for spark plugs and air filter! They told me "no choice it you want to keep the extended (aftermarket) warranty in effect". Pay out the nose now, or risk major repair later. I buddy just test drove a M3P and said I had to try it. 2 days later I took a day off work and went to Nashville to drive one. Ordered one when I got home!
Miss the looks of the BMW, and the exhaust note, but nothing else. No more ICE here!

I’ve always considered the Macan am excellent handling crossover. Y may not handle the same but has it advantages

I came from 2018 Golf R 6MT. It was a fantastic car and I wish we didn't outgrow it, but I'm happy I timed it perfectly before gas prices went through the roof

Prius C. Never looked back since

Audi A4.. concerned about the fit/finish and ride feel of the M3 compared to the Audi but I am sure I will still be happy

From a 2013 Chevy Sonic 1.4L turbo 6MT with a 23psi tune, it was respectable for what it was. I bought it new and it now has 146k miles.

To a 2022 M3P.

Silver 2001 Toyota Camry, sold for about $600. Still ran ok, leaked a bit of oil, felt surprisingly heavy and slow though and drank a lot of fuel considering its "performance" and that it's not that old a car.

Other vehicles as per avatar image have not been sold. Quite the contrast with the Tesla.

Ride is less refined, fit and finish not as precise.
That said, I far prefer my Model 3P to the (tuned) Audi S6 and S4 that preceded it.

Look out - a bunch of people are about to tell you that the Tesla is quicker, not “faster”…

IMHO, in normal driving “quick” is far more important than “fast”.

Had a Tacoma, sold it to Carmax for 8k more than I bought it for.

Agreed, and I do miss the firmer/tighter ride quality of the Audis. We still have one in the garage (2021 TT), and I'm planning on installing MPP Sports coilovers soon on my 2022 M3P.

My last 3 cars;

Interesting. I find the Model 3P’s ride (with 20” wheels/tires) to be firmer than any of my Audis, including the S4, which was lowered.

Hope you find the ride you’re looking for with those aftermarket components.

Our 2021 TT on stock suspension + 255/35R19 Falken FK510 tires is quite a bit firmer. What year is your M3P? Maybe they revised damper valving for the later model years as I find my 2022 M3P to be fairly soft.

 

[Zcd1]

I’m maybe not surprised that the TT’s suspension is firmer than the Model 3P.

I WOULD be surprised if the stock suspensions on any of the 3 sedans in your photos were firmer…

Toyota Corolla, 2004. (I think the M3LR is better)
