Help me Choose 335 xi M-sport, CTS-V, S4, IS-F
Guys,
i'd really like your input http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=711423 the reason that i didnt include M3 which is by far my favorite is because of the price, it is way out of my budget range Thanks!

European Delivery thru a forum vendor will make the M3 about $6000 to $10000 cheaper than any of the other cars.

Audi S4 is way more than $600/month and so is a CTS-V, I know people who are leasing both.
I would ditch the all-wheel drive and get a 335i M-Sport or look for a 1-2 year old M3 since that's already what your heart is set on.

Don't get an Audi, they are maintenance nightmares. I wanted an RS4 really bad but I quickly realized that they are a major headache (as are other Audis). Audi's direct injection system causes a lot of problems (carbon build up leads to misfires, CELs, and power loss).

Do like me, buy a 2-3 years old M3 with warranty and buy a extended warranty, and buy yourself some goodies with the money you saved!
By the way , I'm no riff raff!

Look man, I have wanted an M3 for almost 15 years now, and in that time frame, I have had 3 opportunities to get one; and something else has always come up. In a nutshell, don't be a 'me'. Just pull the trigger on the car that YOU really want, start it up, hit the gas and never look back.

Look for the CPO M3 if you can but they are hard to find as most dealers don't pay to have them CPO. Still consider a used M3 with an extended warranty if you can. If not stick with BMW and go with the 335i. BMW is the gold standard. The other manufacturers are always showing you how their cars "beat" BMW. Why is this? Because BMW is the benchmark. Buy the benchmark and not the guys trying to pretend they are.
