Everytime I see a nice 2006 M3 vert at the dealership I wish I had that instead of mine. There is a mystique and street cred that I respect in the M.
I've debated this issue myself. The last thing I want to do is "downgrade" while spending more money.

However after test driving a 335 I was very pleased. The power felt almost the same, and the ride was much more comfortable. Not to mention the maintenance costs involved with owning a 2003 M3. The interior of the 335 I'm interested in felt and looked great, the seats are much more comfortable, yet still feel sporty. The coral interior made it feel like I was in a M3.

My M3 also looks old, the new 3 series have been out for a while now. I think the E92 is a great looking coupe. Not the mention the values of E46 M3 are falling fast... really fast!

Let me know if anyone thinks I'm crazy.
