LOL - I cross shopped the M3. Before I finished the test drives, the M3 was the car I thought I'd end up with. GT350 was just a more engaging drive.There is a reason my username is "oldbmwfan." The BMWs are old; not me! Best car I ever owned was an E28 535is (and yes, I had an E28 M5 too but the 535is was a better all-around car). Drove an E34 touring with an engine and manual trans swap for years; my wife cried the day I sold that one. Now down to an E36 race car and a 1600-2 ... oh and I accidentally bought an E39 M5 a few weeks ago. Oops. The E39 may be the last great BMW, and even it has its flaws.
There is also a reason I now own 2 Fords after 20+ years of nothing but BMW. Fiesta ST and GT350R are the best BMWs you can buy today.
Oh- and the E28 M5 is my all time favorite car. I almost bought one used in 1996 from a UAL executive who had a house inside the Chicago loop. It was perfect, but I decided $22k on a 8 y/o car was a stretch for a newly employed engineer...
