The rather wealthy people I know do care about how they spend their money, but once they set a budget for something and they know what they want within that price range, they just buy it. If you are still going back and forth, that means you're not sure about your budget yet, or overextending yourself.
no, your completely off-base and i'm puzzled as to why grasp of a simple concept is beyond you. i'm not unsure about the budget, just unsure of what the new m3 will deliver for said budget. i want a car that is a reliable daily driver than i can drive at the track every other weekend. which means it needs to have responsive steering, great handling, brakes that are trackworthy, probably adjustable suspension. i don't know if you've noticed but the m3 has many worthy competitors lately and one of the most competitive features that will sway me is price. if the m3 comes in priced too high, why would i blindly buy it? how could i or you "truly want the m3" when we haven't even driven it nor have a price for it?
