Absolutely love mine! Handles great, M dynamic mode allows you to drift and look good at it Yea it has a lack of torque but it has 8900 revs, sounds fantastic.
I had a play with a 335D from 30-70, I wont lie, he did pull a car lengh maybe more on me, but once at 70 he pulled in, wether that's because i'd have passed him at higher speed or wether his missus was a bad passenger I don't know...
the M3's and D's are both very different cars, I don't like how every D driver compares their's to the M, you can't really compare them, but you never see an M driver compare theres to a D? what does that tell you...

I dont see me selling mine any time soon, I don't know what i'd get next to rival or top it, as A: I can't afford 65K on an F8X M3/4 (having driven both on a regular basis I wouldn't buy one anyway) and B: I never get tired of driving it!
