Just purchased as well and couldn't be happier! Smiling ear to ear every time I drive this beast. Do it and you'll never look back. One thing though, it is a gas guzzler - V8, typical.

The only thing about my M3 which I don't like is the horrid gas mileage when you have some fun above 5k rpm.
But no regrets.

Nope
I regret not getting mine sooner.
I used to laugh because my daily driver was a Jeep Wrangler V6, and I actually got 1 mpg better with the M3's V8 (19.1 vs 18). My only gripes are 1.) The gas tank is small. My round-trip commute to work will burn up 1/4 of a tank 2.) I didn't know what a combox was or what it did because the M3 was my first BMW, and the one that I got doesn't have it. Now I'm looking for a retrofit but there's issues there. KP |

I do regret it at times. I spent several months looking for my play thing and had it narrowed down to a few including the M3. The others:
2011 C63 AMG - Couldn't wait for a transmission change in 2012 and refused to own a torque converter transmission for my toy. Seats were not as comfortable and Insurance was about the same as the Boxster. Priced $6K cheaper than my M 2011 Boxter Spyder - Liked the exclusivity of it, but had concerns about the manual top and ride, Second cheapest to insure. Priced $5K cheaper than my M 2010 Carrera 4S - New leftover black-on-black and priced $20K below sticker. Did not want to take care of a black car, but insurance was the cheapest. Priced $7K more than my M 2007 Aston V8 Vantage - 4K miles on the clock but insurance was through the roof. Also, being in OKC, I would have to take it 200 miles to Dallas for any repairs. Priced $2K less than my M My M is a fun car to drive and is a good balance of performance car that is comfortable on road trips, but I think the 911 would have been more fun in the long run. The Aston was just too expensive to insure, but I think would have been a real "Garage Queen" |

I regret BMW not offering COMP package in '09s when I ordered my M3. Other than that, I's been real happy. I will say the only reason at the time I purchased the M3 was because the 550i was in its last cycle year and I didn't want a 7 yr old dated 75K car. But have been very happy with the decision.

+1 on this one. Shifting 1st to 2nd gear is very notchy for me. Maybe I'm going to try to get the short shifter kit with the linkage upgrade.

Regrets? Not exactly. I bought mine just to try it for a while.
I drove one at the 'Ring earlier this year, and I came away really impressed with the capabilities of the M3. As a DD, however, I get frustrated with the old "no fun driving a fast car slow" syndrome. To give an idea how boring my commute is, I'm averaging 23-24 mpg. I have a dedicated track car, so I won't be taking the M3 to the track. Too much weight, not enough torque, and too much money for consumables and too much at risk for my budget. I'll probably drive it a couple more months, and then move on. |
