I think the factor for me that swung it toward the i was the engine note. I know it's not rationale but it presses all the right buttons for me.

Sounds like you're perfectly happy with your choice which is great too!
Your right the M3 was fantastic for 5% of the time you were driving it at 100%! At all other times it was quite hard work. It replaced a 328i Sport coupe that was torquey and much easier (and more pleasant) to drive.

I've just grown out of tearing around now and screaming the nads off my cars.
