my favourite m3 is still the e36 one, getting to be a bit old skool and yet such modern performance.
the modern one perform amazingly, but i just cant get into the looks of them for some reason.
also feel a bit too effortless, ive been on a 8.5 minute lap of the ring in a latest shape m3 (as in the one on sale not the new one) and TBH it actually felt quite tame, 9.5 mins in a cossie is far more interesting TBH!
