Nowadays though, I would rather put the top down in the SL and cruise PCH than carve canyons. And btw, take an SL for a spin some time, it will suprise you. It doesn't have the tactile response of an M3 (what benz does?) but it can get your blood pumping if you know how to coax it. I guess I am over pushing a car to the limit all the time, and am looking at what else can it do for you? If anything "masculine" is going to be added it will be a porsche 997 turbo. A GT3 is great, but I am not a track junky and the turbo is more of my kind of ride. |

Well then the 996Turbo is the car for you, unless you wart to fork out more for the newer model.
Personally I would never buy a Ferrari, I understand why some people rate them very highly but I prefer either a Porsche or Lamborghini. With both these brands there isn't the same snobbery that you get for Ferrari owners, though in fairness there is exception to every rule. |

And add it to your stable of chick cars? That'll go nicely. A bunch of housewive's cars and a totally undesirable 2+2 Ferrari. You'll be the talk of the polo club in no time.

Your ignorance about what Pennsylvania is like, specifically the suburbs of Philadelphia, makes you sound like a retard. Maybe a retard with a lot of money, but hey that's at least motivation for me if someone so ignorantly pompous as yourself can make it - who says I can't? PS - Trust fund baby? I've never met anyone as defensive, cocky, or rude who hasn't had their entire lives handed to them. Simple question. |

I must say, I can sleep easier at night knowing Sticky is alright for cash. What with his fantastic personality, it makes for an unbeatable combination.

From my perspective, the M6 is a great car. However, the M3 and M6 typically appeal to two very different demographics because they serve two completely different purposes. The M3 is a more nimble, great all around car, and the M6 is bigger, more comfortable, and it makes me feel like it's more of a luxury cruiser when compared to it's baby brother. After driving the M6, my feelings were confirmed. Perhaps if I were older I'd want the 6 more. I think comparing these cars is like comparing the 135i and the M3. Both are fantastic, but we're talking apples and oranges. |

I havent driven both of them, but as far as the looks are concerned, I think the M3 looks much better.

The 325xi, definitely the ride that comes to mind when I think of manly rides. It is definitely emasculating any time you get into a porsche, mercedes, or rolls royce, especially when it isn't the lowest end model they offer Excuse me, I have to go crap caviar. |

Hey. I think we got off on the wrong foot. It's clear we know nothing about eachother, and we both got out of hand and into an e-peen measuring contest over cars that neither of us are in perfect situations to purchase at this point. I'm willing to let bygones be bygones, because we aren't proving anything here by flexing our internet muscles. It sounds like you are perfectly stable in your life, which is dandy.
Barely being 24, owning 2 BMWs outright and purchasing my first home within the next 6 months is nothing to laugh at, so I'd appreciate if you'd at least tone down the peasant remarks. |

Sticky,
I might be wrong in this so please don't have a go at me but the original question was '$80K for an M3 vs used M6'. I'm right in saying that though you like the M3 and think it's a great car, it's ten a penny in SoCal and you want to stand out so to speak. Well then surely you have already answered your original question, the M3 is too common and the M6 fits the bill. Problem solved. |
