As a counterpoint (to myself), I'll add another note on the M. I drove my friend's a good two hours today, about 80 miles of urban/suburban/highway, some cruising and minor tearing around...
I still think it is very good. Much better than 3ers and all other current bmw's in pretty much every way, ride comfort included, excepting fuel consumption and range. If I had to have one car, it would be the top contender, due to its speed, backseat and highway comfort. It still is not more fun than porsches though, cayman (for sure) or 997S (I am guessing as this is not back to back). As long as I can keep two cars, one will be a porsche the other something else, so I am burying the M3 thoughts for now. And no, it doesn't make sense for me to have an M3 and a porsche. Now that I've driven this one a few hundred miles (including pickup), I'm really getting over the novelty. |
