Drive in a lower gear/higher rpm around town and everyone around you will think you are a douche because you'll just sound like you are trying to street race everyone. I pretty much putt around town for that reason. Whenever I need to overtake a prius, it sounds like I'm trying to race it (at least to other drivers).

If that feeling of being pushed to the back of your seat is really important to you, you'll most likely be really disappointed with the M3. Because of the smoother power band and torque delivery, the car feels slow even though it is accelerating pretty quickly.
