Basically, people get interested in the car, start pricing it out, say "oooh shiny!" but then reality kicks in and they realize that for just a little bit more they can have an M3.....
See where I'm going wth this?
BMW marketing, those wily little devils.

...i'm in the same camp... I have a 2007 and was thinking of another purchase... but is this "is" enticing enough?... I thought it over and if I do pull the trigger in the next month it will be a M-sport-LCI or LCI with all options, I will not track my car regularly if ever so overboost and re-mapping and 19" lighter wheels will not improve my experience... ... a, NA M3 used... fantastic deal now... I was at my local and I could have a used M6 V10 for ~50k....
