Plus, the money I'm saving on the 230 will ultimately be used towards an E55 or the like when I move to a more conducive setting.
I'm now saving for the next genration m3

S550
nice car!!!
still dont get why they are offering 3 v6 engines
why not just a 230 with the 200 hp and the 350 if customers want a faster luxury car (or with sport package just opt for it)
