Sure, it's much faster but, it's also 12k more expensive, not including insurance, registration and taxes.

My point was the cost-of-entry is much higher for the M3. That's all.
I won't get into a 335 vs M3 debate but I'll say this, when you pay 10k more for an M3 instead of a 335, it's not more straight line accelaration that you pay for, it's a complete package, if you don't care for that package, don't buy an M3 IMO!

But if you care for that package, the M3 is a deal compared to modding a 335!
