I know i know.... but not dead set on one! GT3 looks appealing..

You're a drivers man, how do you like the dual clutch in that gtr??
I was thinking about a GTR but didn't get one because their interior is just....meh. It's also gigantic.

LOL, everyone complaining about not buying a GT-R over looks or interior. Looks are subjective and the interior is decent overall but poor for a 100K car but no one buys one for the interior or the looks. Go flog one around your local road course and then drive home comfortably and you'll understand.

I'm saying that when I spend a lot of money on a car, I factor in if I like the interior or not. I don't just buy them because they can go fast on a track. If this upsets you, I'm sorry and deeply regret my previous comment.

Don't feel like your "settling" for an M3 instead of a GT-R. GT-R will slaughter it in pure performance, but the M3 has a lot of positive intangible benefits. I've enjoyed mine for over 4 years now, and have had a great ownership experience.

Congratulations on the purchase

If I had to own a practical car after selling the S2000, the E9X M3 probably would have been the car to own. Seems like it's one of the few practical cars that still embody all that aspects of a "driver's car."

Nice car and after a short time you realize comfort is not over-rated. It's also nice to hear the stereo and enjoy the technology of a new car. I love the S2000 but I could never go back to one.
