Best toy I've ever owned
 Just picked up a mostly base M3 last week. Manual transmission, leather/cloth interior, no Nav, no tech package.  I had an Audi S4 on order, and the BMW people basically sold me on the M3.  I was hesitant, but after 350 miles, I am SO glad I went M3.  The engine is absolutely silly.  It just wants to go.  And the rest of the car feels like it's carved out of a block of aluminum, just so solid.  I'm still in break in period, but even adhering to the rules, this thing is amazing.
