THe R8 V8 is the most expensive car that the m3 equals. I personally am going to get a v10 if I am going to spend that money or atleast a car wtih significant improvement if I am spending 30k more new.
I also would not ever want an audi 4.2 V8 they have been using with the carbon build up. Look at r8 or rs4 dyno's and they dyno really poorly with even 10k miles on them. 310 at the wheels.

have you ever driven the v8 r8 for an extended period of time? I used to own a supercharged e92 M3 and even with the SC I much prefer the driving experience in the R8 vs the M3. it sounds like you are quick to judge the r8 based on what you've read about it. i was too until i bought one. the M3 is a great car but I wouldn't go back
