Supposedly the facelifted GT3 will be a 2010 model. Production, if lucky, spring of 2009. Whatever the final specs this car will be plenty salty.

Ruff...what did you decide on in the end? M3 or CS?
On the fence still, need to see the final specs on the upcoming face lifted Caymam S and 335 and see where the price of light sweet crude goes.

Accurate diagnosis. However I must say the worst fever I have ever had is the E90/E92 M3 strain.

South,

You hit the nail on the head. I can't figure out why I am so caught up in this DFI stuff. It is kind of like Swamp and DCT.... Crazy.
