Mark, I was lookoing at the prices of the new V8 the other day.
If you go on Piston Heads classifieds, and filter the M3's from price high to low, the drop even on a few month old M3 is staggering. Think I would prefer the slightly more wild E46 though.

Went out for my first proper play, as opposed to a B-road blast. Lots of industrial estate roundabouts.
Turned DSC off, Sport on.
It's a big pussy cat. A touch of understeer that's easily corrected with throttle, both lift off oversteer and power oversteer
It's very grippy considering its weight. The steering is a bit odd. It could really do with a quicker rack, but overall gives more feedback. It is a touch too light though. Might see what I can do about that.
And I think ARB's could the order of the day. It's a nice way to kill the body roll without ruining the ride too much.
Whilst I never got it particularly sideways, it did inspire lots of confidence and its repute as a drift machine may well be deserved.
