From a driving perspective is there any reason to choose the M3 over the R8?
OP are you willing to tune? Unless you have $35k for a VF-Engineering Supercharger for the R8 as well (which is a lot of reliable fun btw), a properly tuned AWD G80 M3 w downpipes, turbos, meth, E85 etc should obliterate a NA R8 V10. Also, much nicer interior and technology than a 2017 R8. Plus you can get two more doors.
Tuning yes, but Turbos and Meth is a little beyond my comfort zone. Admittedly I don't care all that much about straight line speed. That V10 is just calling my name
