But it turns out it just didn't do it for me. Took a hit on trading it in on a 2011 M3 after only 2 months. The M3 is the car I should have gotten in the first place and I have no regrets owning it. And btw, it is my DD, winter car and jack of all trades vehicle. I have another car that is the real weekend, special night out and track car and that one gets the garage.

I did the same thing with a 2011 Grand Sport Vette. I had it for seven months and while it was a very nice car, I missed the feel, fit and finish of my previous BMW's and Porsches. In addition, I just got so bored with driving my 4Runner as a DD (bought it originally to haul the dog, bad weather, Home Depot trips, etc) and leaving the Grand Sport in the garage (put just 2k miles on it in 7 months). My E92 with DCT is "the perfect" DD as far as I am concerned. I should have test drove a DCT before I ordered the Grand Sport. Not one single regret here!! I love this car.
