I've had m3 for about 2 years, but more I drive it, more I feel how heavy M3 is. Yes, V8 growls and M3 looks great in terms of proportion and it does catch people's eyes for sure.

I used to drive 128i, so I know how fun E82 chassis is and that is why I'm contemplating whether I should sell M3 and get 1M as a weekend. All my car friends are telling to go get GT4 since 1M is really really close to 981 GT4 price now like $10,000~$20,000. What's your guys' opinion?

I can't own 3 cars atm and I kinda like driving STI as a daily, so I only have a choice of either keeping M3 or swapping M3 for 1M.
OP, where do you live? Find someone nearby that has a 1M and see if they will help you with decision. I wanted to buy E92 M3 but after driving it for a weekend, it always felt heavy...and lethargic...until you got revs up and then it was a sweet car. Sounded amazing also. The 1M is fun from the first push button start and one of the "very" few cars I ever driven that makes me giddy when I arrive at my destination, and that could be just a store down the road. I took it to Tail of the Dragon and we drove our cars hard. I was easily able to keep up with a 2012 E92 M3 and a 2018 M3. Drive it and you'll buy it.
