An e92 m3 is too much like our Z for me to warrant owning both unless I'm of super baller status (which you seem to be, haha.) The e92 M3 is a Sick fn car for sure but driving my buddies than driving my Z they are very similar in speed/handling ... If I got a e92 m3 I would prob never drive the Z as it's just a little better than the Z in most areas, owning one or the other will make most owners just as happy as the other.

However, My z is a little faster in a straight line than his M3 ! but I'd still take the M over my car any day of the week. But both cars are more or less a car that you use as a "toy.". The M3 is def a little better DD and I am assuming that's why you are purchasing it, it's Much quieter and has a little smoother ride but both are def "sports car" not meant for family use , lol...

The only thing that bugs me about the M is how soft the clutch is and how far the throws are. Other than that I love it. Also the thick M steering wheel is nice to grip but I think I'd prefer it to be skinnier if I was going to be tracking the car.
