Drives: E46 M3 in a 325i Touring body!

I thought really hard about getting into a ZO6. In the end I didn't because I figured it is not a good car to have as an only car (and I cannot have more than a single car at this point in time).

As a second or third car? It's a must have!

I check them out at the track and the last time I was out there was an Inferno orange centennial edition and wow it is just straight up gorgeous inside and out IMHO.

The ZO6 is in a complete different league in terms of performance. Makes an M3 feel like a 325i. The LS7 is ridiculous... titanium rods, forged crank, titanium and sodium filled valves, dry sump. The engine is mounted in a magnesium cradle. The chassis is hydroformed aluminum and the fenders are made of carbon fiber. It's an engineering marvel and a no compromise sports car.

Meanwhile on BMW forums, so-called driving enthusiasts find nothing else to do but b*tch about the crappy interior. Gets me everytime.
