Thanks for the extremely detailed response! Exactly what I was looking for! Definitely gives me some good points to ponder. Honestly, the bimmer forum for the most part has a lot of good things to say about the Type R. Everyone seems to agree that it’s a more engaging fun car to drive...
Posted this in the M3 forum as well, wanted your take.
I’m pretty much set on getting the M3, but I have seen a few people mention going from the Type R to the M3 and regretting it. I’d like to hear from anyone who’s driven both on what their thoughts were, especially if they regretted it.

Had to take the wheel off. Drive it on ramps, jack it up from front and then put the stand under it. Don’t trust sticking my head in there with just the jack!

I’m going to do a pedal dance next event, I don’t like...
go troll somewhere else dude. There’s been a few interviews of Honda engineers that have mentioned electrification of the type R. I’d prefer it stay ICE, definitely ing not “daydreaming” of electrification!
Im the same way. Retention of value is always a factor I look at while car shopping. I’m certainly not babying this car to keep it nice for the next owner though. Already been to the track and a few autocrosses. Even if it doubled in value, I wouldn’t really change much.
