Test drove my first M3 yesterday. I am sold. So I will be ordering one when my lease is up. So my job between now and then.. start a fund for the $5 a gallon gas.

The motor is so sweet and my grin is so big .. I can't not own one.

I thought the dark side was MB, no?

No, we're the dark side. Actually, to be more precise, he'll be going over to the darker side.

Just make sure you spend the extra money for the SMG & EDC, very well worth it! The MT is substantially slower.

Do you mean DCT? Or is he talking about an e46 M3?

Very funny. I figured all the 335 owners would think me crazy - moving into a M3.. and I never every gave MB a thought... plus I would think MB is more like a black hole. They have so many models and new ones coming out every 6 months I have given up trying to keep up with what they offer.

I am thinking about switching to the dark side. That AMG C63 is really calling out for me.:D

I test drove the E90 M3 yesterday. Guess what, I am sold too. I've never been so happy driving a damn car...

Thought I would not like the in your face engine.. but damn it.. I loved it. Makes the experience so entertaining what ever speed you are doing. I see all the reviews comparing the M3 specs to other cars, and where is does or doesn't match up. For me who the h..l cares - this will be the closest I will come to owning and driving a car with a race engine - the thing has all those wonderful race engine noises. The other grin maker was blipping the throttle - made my 335 engine feel like a 325.

Guess I will start counting the days until my lease is up and starting a gas saving account.
