It's understandable people defend what they have, but do that by insulting isn't really tasteful. I believe having you as an owner/defender adds to the dislike of this gen m3, a sentiment shared by more than many, globally.

Oh, journalists said it's the last real ///M car. It's a driver's car. Right.
So why is everyone arguing?
Each model has its place in the hierarchy, and its performance follows suit. Not sure why it's such a surprise, and why the level of indignation is so extreme.
This thread has been fun reading.
Ps. The guy who referred to the few (or many?) who sold their F80/82 to go back to the E90/92...  |
