Hell, I'm considering a jump to another car manufacturer, too. BMW doesn't make anything I want, these days. Even their previous models are not enticing me. I may be going MB or Cadillac, soon. Unless I build what I really want...

Only other mfr I'd consider is a Porsche .......Cayman, but I need back seats & 911's are too rich for my blood, so I'll most likely get the M4 in 2-3 yrs

Great car, but it is heavy and relatively little torque for my current tastes.
Porsche Cayman is an interest of mine, as well. I'm just concerned with mid-engine maintenance. |

One thing the m3 crowd claims is that for auto cross type driving the m3 really outperforms the tuned 335. Of course this is the m3 crowd talking. So could be bs but the handling and steering feel superior on the m3 now how that translates to a road course idk. My goal is to keep slinging houses until the m4 comes out then I think the tt and M together should make for a truly one of a kind M car. The 335 showed me just how cheap moding can be. I miss that for sure but so far I still have m3 glasses on and I like the attention the car makes ha. Until one of you cob 335 mf'ers pulls up next to me lol |

You know you want a C63 AMG and be done with it! I'm curious when Caddy is going to give the ATS the "V" treatment? |

I want a light, tossable car. And, I want a car with a V8 and torque. No one makes that in a single car. Compromise may be necessary. Unless, I stuff an LS3 in a Z3 coupe...

Indeed. I'm hoping the new Stingray will drive down the prices of used C6 Z06s. I don't see myself as a Corvette person, but you can't argue with the packaged performance. If I went MB, I would probably look into a CLK 63 Black Series. Looks great and will hold its value. Just sucks about the transmission.

Do it....those things are beast. If I can afford it that is actually the next car I want, but if I can't the Audi will be my next choice. Unlike a lot of you, I'm more about looks with the necessary get up and go. I like the body lines of the S5 and the C63. Only down about the Audi is the tq.

I have to pity the fools that will pay greater than MSRP to get the first C7 Stingrays knowing damn good and well that you still have at least two more heavily options models still to come... I like the design and all but it's just silly! But I guess paying to be first is something people are willing to do (and that includes being the first to have their car sit at the dealership for a few weeks while some quirky bug is found that you have to wait for GM to find a good way to fix...) |

Agreed fully. People throw money away for the dumbest reasons. Dealers are licking their chops, right now.

Well I am coming full circle on this whole M3 vs 335iS discussion and may just stay with Vader and have Grant and Todd help me add the DCI, DP, FMIC and Cobb AP...but maybe, just maybe I'll pony up for the M3 in October. Alot of the 2011 e92's are coming off lease for about $54K. I'll admit that I am a bit disappointed about all the anti-M3 stuff there is out on the Forums and the internets. I was really hoping that the M3 was going to be the shit, the whole shit, and nothing but the shit. But a few more test drives and hopefully a little racing with John and I can make up my mind. Who is going to Gonzales this weekend? Or we can do a quick meet and drive on our own.

Read this http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=745641 I've had both and I like the m3 better however you can't deny the straight line speed of a tuned n54.
