Beautiful M3. I had a 96 and loved it. I traded it in for a GTO and at times I missed the M3 because of its superior handling. Now that I'm in a corvette I don't think of any other cars lol... welcome to the american icon.

P.S. I just drove 400+ miles and averaged 32.1 mpg with the Vette. I'm sure you'd never see that on that m3 lol

The M3 is a nice machine but you will soon learn it does not quite stack up to a C6 in many ways.

I've owned two BMWs and a good friend of mine had an M3. The connection and feel a BMW has for the road is phenomenal. They are quick and great to drive on a curvy road. That being said, the brutish fast, ***** to the wall, acceleration of the Corvette has provided a lot more SPM (smiles per mile) for me.
