since owning an m3, i've learned the appeal of finesse and handling, but i still very much require that pure speed.
I grant you your point, you spoiled SOB.

I still think my 330i is plenty fast. It could be a tad faster and it could sure use more low-end grunt. But I tell you, the 987S is perfect as far as what I consider to be a good powerband. More than power or torque, the most pressing need in my 330i is an LSD.
