Early report from M3 ED

As to insurance costs....

I had a friend at work who went from an M3 to 911 GT2 (early 2000's) and found the insurance on the Porsche was MUCH less than the BMW.

I find my 911 is about the same to insure as my Escalade and other (newer) vehicles. I did price out M3/M4 insurance a couple of years ago and found those cars were significantly more expensive to insure than other similarly valued cars. My insurance guy says the loss rate (payout $$ for claim) are among the highest of any car they cover (compared to vehicle value).
