i dunno, the E46 and S4 in that test are sort of different animals from the ones Miguel has in mind. the E36 would be a fine DD, and the older S4 would not be as fast around a dry track. If he was looking for new cars it might be a diff. story

Why not a 350Z? And there will be a white TT supra (manual) at Jack Taylor Toyota soon. The guy is calling me when it gets there. Looks like you and I will be checking out some of the same cars. Let me know what you think about the ones you test out!
I don't like how the 350Z looks (relative to the other cars I'm looking at), I'd rather a G35.

so now that you're set on the M3, what is the ideal M3. I know thre were some different options or packages like a luxury thing, but what do you want in the car. I'm assuming you aren't as concerned with 2 or 4 dr. I'd look for the ones with the sport seats (god they are awesome) and I personally like the block style wheels (if that makes sense).

no, not the block wheels, definatly go for round! :mrgreen:
get one of the luxo's though, stitched leather doors (that don't fall apart like all the others), nicer trim everywhere, understated ground effects, nice stuff. :wink:
yeah i'm definitely going with the luxo
2 or 4 doors doesn't matter too much to me (but i think i'd prefer 2)
i like the blue and the purple colors
i don't want a convertible
ideally a low mileage OBDII
i like both the wheels that were offered (contour and "motorsport" [thats what i call them]) but i'd like to get some bling bling BBS or Fikse

I LOVE the way they drive... step up in reliability from the M3 but 215hp... eh... but for a DD, they're kickass.

i agree
and
i test drove an is300 5 speed, i really really liked it, it was kinda lacking in the lower RPMs, and i found the seating position to be a bit odd...but other than that i think i would make a great DD
