As I said before, my father lives in Philly so I visit him a couple times a year. I totally would, the mbworld crowd is much warmer than others, but I *cough* have an e46 now.

a few weeks ago i drove a euro spec e46 M3 competition series, all hooked up with full exhaust, carbon fiber everywhere... i mean, it's fast (but really loud), but you have to drive it much harder than the C55, which is still faster, drives smoother and maybe only area where it falls behind is super hard cornering, which is not a bad trade off at all! all in all, it made me feel even better about getting the C55 instead of the e46 M3 i was considering at the time.

The AMG's are much more luxurious than the M's but at the same time the difference in handling between my w203 and e46 is very clearly different, my 325xi being superior (i know the 4wd helps but BMWs in general are definitely geared more towards the "I can compromise for speed crowd".
