1M or M3

[Vetteran]

Thought of buying a 1M ( £40,000 - £45,000 ) but would I get a better car if I spent the money on an M3 ?
Obviously the 1M will hold value better but is it a better drivers car or are they too different to compare?

Thanks for your views. I own an SL65AMG so bit of torque junkie. The BMW would be more of a day to day car. Looking to replace a Megane Sport sold recently. Drawn towards the 1M but sometimes on our rubbish road surfaces the Megane could be harsh. As suggested test drive both and then try to decide.
