i'd suspect it'd be someone from bwmusa considering their office is close to rt. 17 on the garden state parkway.

I spotted a 2006 M3 4 door in south Florida and it's not even on the web site either. It was an interesting brown/bronze color. Those sneaky devils

I'd appreciate a four door M3. Four door M3 or C55 equivalent. That's a tough choice. I'm really not that big of a fan of the Audi S4 unfortunately.

I wonder what the price is going to be. I hope they don't price themselves out of the competition. I imagine it'll be somewhere along the lines of the C55's current pricing. But then, you gotta wonder, C55 or E350. One's reasonably fast, the other is extremely fast.

Cant compare an E350 and a C55, one is a devilish toy and the other is just another Benz, Im sorry to the E owners but most of those things are extremely bland IMHO, the sport package 500's are a little better. C55 no contest there. C55 vs M3 with 4 doors, now thats a different comparison, BMW knows how to make a good sports car, if they dont over complicate it, the new M3 has promise of greatness.

While I have an E320 in the family, I have to admit, the car has its faults (the most notably is that there's a bit of squat during take off), however, it's much faster than the C230, in terms of how high the rpms go in the same gears.

In my neighborhood, nobody can tell the difference between a devilish toy and the other being just another Benz. Not because they can't tell the difference, but simply because AMG cars sell very well here, it's perceived as very stock.

The Sport package hardly makes a difference actually. Sport, appearance, normal, virtually no difference. The Sport package actually gets a bit uncomfortable (like my C230KSS). The E500, doesn't feel quick, it feels mostly bored, it's actualy difficult to get the rpms past 2200 rpms in normal driving.

Besides, the E350 is a much more practical car, it's larger and the performance and handling is still quite decent at the same time.

Between the Mercedes C55 and the BMW M3, I'm stuck. I've been wanting to give BMW a try.
