I actually know a guy you lost his right nut in a motorcycle accident. 2 lawsuits and $195,000 later, he bought an apartment 4complex and a 911 turbo. Not sure if it was worth it though?

Yes, total settlement was 1/2 million + bike plus, all the medical bills, loss of wages etc., but the lawyers fees you know.... It was the only permanent damage sustained. Like I say not worth it, I'll keep both of mine, thank you.

Well, obviously the complex had a healthy down payment and the 911 was ~70k. I don't know the details....

You outright say it, NOT imply it, when you make statements like; it feels "heavy", "not as nimble" and the fact that you were oh so unimpressed with the exceleration....THOSE ARE ALL NEGATIVE COMMENTS about the M3! Let me rephrase what you should be saying... The steering feels heavier and more conected to the road, unlike the numb/wet noodle feeling of other cars. This translates into a much more direct/nimle steering feel. The excelleration pulls strong and so smooth from 3000-8200 that it almost feels uneventful because of the lack of drama & huge power the V8 delivers effortlessly. This car is fast.(PERIOD!)
Careful ///Metak, your bias is showing.

Speed is cheap, if all you want is speed. The M3 is the whole package, in a retail state with all Factors of Safety in place, and like I said before, "You get out of it what you put into it." If all your going to put into it is rushhour traffic, then I agree that you would be better off with a 335i.
