C2s - loved it but would not spend the money for a new one, so would be used
C4s - loved it, see above
Cayman S - Razorsharp steering but just not that much faster than what I drive now (lotta money for not much performance gain).
Z4M - as fun as the cayman S and nicer inside but, again, probably not 50 grand more fun than my paid off 350z.
Z06 - wow is it fast, kind of a heavy/large feeling car, didnt corner (turn in) like my current, smaller car - felt bigger because it is. quality?

As you can see, many different kinds of car here, but I am not hung up on anything other than my enjoyment of cornering and acceleration.

I would MOST like a car, new daily driver, with 4 seats that drives and feels about like a 911. Is this the M3? Or is all the talk of performance meant to be followed by "....for a sedan...." Now, that is fine if it is the case. Perhaps the same is to be said for the c63 and rs4.

Not wanting to spend more than 70K. Some rain and occasional snow where I live.

So, my question. For those of you who have driven one or more of these machines, how does the E92 M3 compare? Interested to hear opinions.
test drive a C63 and tell us what you think about it, since I havent found a dealer that would like be take it out for a spin yet
