replaced:
2006 Porsche Carrera

2000 BMW 540i

2016 Subaru Impreza Sport Limited.
It was, when I bought its predecessor (RIP), the most fuel-efficent AWD vehicle available.
My 5th Subaru, too; gonna be weird driving anything else!
(My M3 comes next week)

Replacing my 2015 Audi A3 2.0 Quattro. It’s actually a great car with zero problems over 5 years and 50k miles. I’ve enjoyed driving it, but excited to get my M3. Hoping my LR AWD will be the same!

2018 Volvo XC90

2010 Infiniti G37x. Rear ended the car in front of me two weeks ago and ordered the M3 the next day. G37x is pretty nice and overall not too much troubles to maintain, but absolutely no comparison to the fun of M3 SR+ I test drove.

Replaced my 2017 BMW i3. The BMW i3 was a great placeholder EV while the wait time for the Model 3 became more realistic.

Replacing my 2017 E300

 

[giantshark18]

Replacing my 2007 Toyota Tundra and 2013 Hyundai Elantra.

2011 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. The model 3 is a fine car, but probably a more suitable Subaru WRX replacement. Everything feels like the time and effort went into the tech and powertrain, then in the 11th hour they decided they ought to build a car around it.

Don't worry, I fully understand I'm comparing a $58k car in today's money to a $142k car in 2011 money. Model 3 is 'fine'

2016 BMW 328

2005 Scion TC with 230k miles. The difference is night and day. It is much nicer to have functioning air conditioning again in Texas. I still have my Scion so I can haul anything needed for my garden, but otherwise it sits around and costs $45 a month in insurance. If I dropped off my car at the service center today, I would have needed it since they were out of loaners.

2017 GTR. The Model 3P blows it away!

Jk, keeping the beast and replacing a 14 Civic SI I boosted that keeps giving me problems with the M3P. Can't wait to compare it with the GTR. Funny even saying that as it's half the cost... Crossing fingers for a delivery this month...

Wow, major garage transformation! Wonder if there was a catalyst that prompted this?

Maintained a 1995 C220 benz and 1999 S70 volvo until the model 3 came out.

 

[00TO100]

Ordered a SR+ to replace a 2017 WRX

2018 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited... if I can find a buyer to takeover my lease
