I have an 08 E90 M3. It is the best everyday car I have ever owned. I plan to replace it with an M4.

I had both a e92 and e46 track car. The e46 was more enjoyable and just as fast as the e92 on the track. The e92 is just too heavy for track use IMHO.

I grew up with Porsches and I've been completely obsessed with GT3s since I first rode in a 996.2 in college. I made a deal with myself when I went to work with my current company back when I was 25 that I would buy a GT3 by my 30th birthday (I'm 28 now). Hope to be going after a 7.2 GT3 in the next year and a half.

EDIT: I should also add that my M3 now has 56k miles as it has been my DD since I bought it with 3k miles in September of 2008. I don't think I'll be able to get much for the car, hence my toying with the idea of turning it into a fully caged track car.

Earlier in this thread I posted I owned a few M3's and will hopefully be owning a GT3 soon. I now own a 996GT3 and could not be any happier (I have had the car for an hour of ownership).

Owned a 2005 M3 w/Comp Package and then owned a 2011 M3 w/Comp Package before I picked up the GT3.

Thinking about buying an E92 M3 for some daily driving. Have yet to meet somebody who doesn't love them for DD.

Currently own a 2008 E90 M3. Wonderful daily driver for the wife. It pretty much does everything well, but a little chubby for the track (in stock form), as others have described.

No M3, but have a E39M5 Supercharged to 630 HP. It's about as big and as heavy as an E9x M3... but loads more torque!

Black 1988 E30/M3 too hot in a wet corner and had a nice wreck in 1991 --> lead to White 1991 RSA in 1992...
