I'm guessing, if you drive the e92 M3, you'll forget about M-B. Then, of course, you'll have to consider that P-car too, since you're in that territory already, but no back seat will probably squish that noise quickly for ya... aaanyway, I'm just living vicariously through you, with your permission - since my "management" (aka my pre-fiance - haha, yeah, I just used the term "pre-fiance" ) has decided that we aren't getting more expensive car(s) until we are both well into 6 figure incomes I'm ok though - I adore my E60, even though I am having to dump a lot of dough into it now, I'm using the opportunity to get a bunch of upgrades

Anyway, back to the topic, DRIVE THE M3 before you do anything else. Please.

True. Top Gear seriously kicks a**. Great show. I watch every episode! Honestly I think M3 is a great car as fast as more powerfull C class on the track. But Clarckson clearly states that c class feels significantly more powerfull. Anyway You can't go wrong with either of the two.

If u want extreme power and performance go M3 w RPI and dinnan. I believe it pushes the M above 500hp.

I lease my cars so I'm okay with a software download, but don't want to start doing real modifications.
