2008 BMW M3 Convertible 2dr Convertible (4.0L 8cyl 6M)
Elegant Supercar
 Drove a 2009 Porsche 911 with A/M before I drove the M3 6spd.  The 911 didn't impress me. The M3 blew me away.  Got it will all the options and brushed aluminum. It is very comfortable.  Takes a little time to get used to shifting the manual. You can tell a major difference from M mode and regular mode.  Fuel economy is almost the same in both so I usually just leave it in M. In M it is a rocket, in regular my 4-runner accelerates faster. Icontrol is easy to use and they seem to have thought of everything and put it in the right place.
