Old review of M3 E93, but I couldn't have said it better myself.

"Summon all 414 horsepower and you won't just feel the car pin you to your seat, you'll hear one of the most captivating performances to come from a BMW. Without the obstruction of metal and glass, the metallic thrash-metal symphony is much louder and clearer. It's so good, so addictive, so relentless, it'll nearly make you forget about the straight sixes of years past . . . and that aforementioned stereo system."

to me the soundtrack is worth the extra weight especially considering you have to drive the speed limit anyways

I am moving up from a 335i vert to an M3 vert next month (my car is in production now). I didn't get to test drive a convertible M3 (just sedan/coupe) and can't wait to hear that engine in the open air... The break in period is going to seem so long............

My e93 is expected to be at the dealership tomorrow. Hope it gets their early enough so I can pick it up! Thanks for the review. Not going to sleep much tonight!

You should write up a comparison review when you get your M3 vert. It will be warm enough for open air driving.

that's what i did

the engine sounds amazing

i will admit i miss the torque of my 335i (i was heavily modded, mind you)

stock for stock i would never even consider a 335 over an m3

but with the mods I had... it is difficult.
but i prefer the M3
