It's a lot of money spent on a want. At least the latter is massively countered with the tremendous practicality, which the TT lacked.

Great write up ... the M3 is definitely a very special car and in that color it is stunning.
These last couple of lines get to me a bit, You’re the type that plans these things out carefully and it wasn’t an easy decision for you to spend this much money on yourself.
Stop the guilt, it’s ok to get something you want especially since you took care of all of your other obligations first (the wife, kids, house, etc.)
Also it’s not like you blew $80k, the car has a value and the big picture after a few years is going to be more like $20k to $30k spent.
Anyway I hope this eases your guilt ... enjoy your new beast !!
