You can't be serious... it's only 12" longer than our E90 M3s! 12" is a foot, not a bus.

To be honest, I didn't bother to read closely all the posts in this thread. Are you serious that the OP hasn't driven the bloody thing yet???

A foot is a lot for a car, are you kidding me? Go drive one - heck , any 5 series these days, and tell me you don't think it's big.

Pretty serious activity for something you may hate after 10 minutes in the driver's seat! If you're coming from the last-gen CTS-V, you might think this newer V wagon is the best thing since sliced bread. Hell, you might think it's awesome, no matter what. However, if one really appreciates what makes an M3 an M3, I just can't imagine you'd get all that much joy out of a fast Caddy wagon. |

At the end of the day I just knew I wouldn't be able to hustle the Caddy up and down my favorite local mountain every weekend the way I can with the M3. It's just too tight for something that heavy and powerful.

That car in question has also never been driven. As I've mentioned before, I need to have an intent to buy (which is, to get the contract drawn up and financing squared away, just not signed) before they will let me take it out. Which is perfectly reasonable... except that my intent is not quite at that stage yet, because I am trying to build a rapport with my friends and family regarding the switch, and I've not been able to have much success. Soooo.... Did it fit into your garage? I have a similar problem myself |

Best of luck in your decision and in my opinion, you can't go wrong with either car. If you're not hammering the canyons every weekend and doing track days on a regular basis, I think it's a better daily driver. On a side note, CTS-V wagon is 4392/lbs and the E90 M3 is 3726/lbs. That's a difference of 666/lbs...

that's actually not that reasonable to me at all. i do understand the need to weed out joyriders and people who are not serious buyers, but that's excessive. but maybe they do things differently in Canada

To be fair the M3 is kind of a bus or tank as well. Every time I'm on the track I am close to the heaviest car out there. I often wish I could drop 500. Then again I'm far far from the slowest.

As for the garage.... I happen to have that exact 12in in length leftover after parking my M3 in there. Yeah, that might cause an issue.... |
