I'm trying to talk my wife into getting a violet colored M3.         My buddy is going to let me drive his M3 some to see how I like it, so I will probably decide after that. 
The M3 might be quick but I don't think it will have the raw power that I want.  I had a 450rwhp TA and 490 rwhp cobra.    tongue.gif    And I don't care about the back seat.. The looks and luxury are drawing me towards the M3, not it's power.
