M6 Gran Coupe
Yes, it is much more like a 6 than a 3 series....but that isn't saying much. 6's are 70k....CL's are 100k. Big difference. That is a 6 and 3 for a CL. BMW interiors are not even in the same area code as the CL interior.

I am not going to speak for everyone, but I live in Boston where the M3 is the car of choice for every spoiled boy racer student that attends college here and has daddy buy them a car they can never appreciate. They are the most dangerous, most obnoxious drivers on the road, and all think that car is the coolest thing ever made. I have never been turned off by a group of owners as I am by M3 owners, mainly because of their driving habits.
That's just my experience here, and I am not saying it applies to everyone. Obviously the car is a good car and has made C&D's 10 best list many years in a row. Its just not a good car to compare to a CL. And I agree with MJR24 because I don't even think the 6 is as good as a CL, let alone the 3. I test drove 3 different versions of a 6, 3 times, and then bought a USED CL600 for more money than I could have bought a brand new 645ci for.

I am not saying the M3 is a bad car its just not a good street car its made for the track.
personaly I would go with the the c55 I would imagine it would be a more practical car although I have never driven one so I dont realy know for sure but all I can say is most merc sports seem very smooth and liveable, although bare in mind theres a new c in 2007!
p.s I also reckon the clk would be a very good choice.

STOP TALKING OUT OF YOUR A$$. THE M3 IS SICK. YOUR STUCK ON THE PRICE BUDDY. JUS CUZ ITS 60K AND NOT 110+ DOESNT MAKE IT ANY LESS OF A CAR. MAYBE THE M3 ISNT AS LUXURIOUS AS THE CL CLASS BUT ITS DEFINETLY NOT A MOTEL 6 
Keep in mind, M is 1/3 of AMG.
