Also, having come from a 335i to the MINI, I wouldn't want to deal with fuel pumps failing on me again, that 335i I had became such a nightmare in the 2 yrs I had it.

 

The only way I'd own an E9x M3 is if I win one in the CCA raffle. No way on earth I'd buy one. (or pretty much any new BMW). I just don't like the way they drive. They are heavy, understeering pigs. I wasn't a huge fan of the E46 M3 either. The drive by wire always seemed just a bit off to me. Sort of like Kirk ordering warp speed, and it takes Sulu half a beat to comply...

I'll stick with my 320rwhp E36 M3. Thank you very much... Plus, it's paid for...and has been for 17 years...lol
