I'm super cool. Had a GT3 first.
But currently own a E36 M3 Race Car and an RS
As signature indicates besides the RS and the tow Rig the rest of the cars are BMWs

If you need 4-doors and something trackable, the E90M3 is pretty hard to beat. Mine is starting to show signs of mechanical wear after 15K or so track miles, so I decided it was time to get something more durable and a bit safer. The M3 is far more fun (for me at least) to drive around town than the RS is though. RS is like a wet cat...seems pissed that I am even trying to drive it under 120mph.

It's true, M-cars are the gateway drug to porkers of all stripes.

Was going to upgrade to an E92 m3 from a 335i coupe. Then I drove da Greek's gt3 and skipped the M step. Glad I did. The harassment I avoided from Izzone alone was worth it.

I don't have a GT3, but this rings true.
First sporty car was a 2003 M3 coupe that I track-modified the heck out of. I traded that for a 2006 Carrera S for street/track. I missed the BMW so I bought a 2005 M3 coupe as a street-only car. Eventually I traded that on a 2008 135 coupe - also street only - that last year I traded on a 2012 Cayman R for track/street. Much happier with Porsche rather than BMW for both street and track. I intend to trade the Cayman R eventually on a 991 GT3.

Wanted one, but had to do it with a regular 95 and 96 3 series.
Learned to drive in a '82 318I compacting snow to do figure 8's, it had BBS wheels....

F10 is a disgrace, it's like adding Turbos and lowering the redline by 2000rpm on a GT3. Yes, it will be faster, but not as involving and fun.
Seriously considering the Laguna Seca Edition 2012 E92 M3 with a manual tranny. It is painted Orange like the 07-08GT3RS, and with Black wheels it must look awesome.

Inherited my dad's 2000 C5 Corvette Convertible 6 speed.
Bought 997 Carrera S.
Put deposit on 997 GT3 v1.0 Cancelled
Bought 980 mile 2004 996 GT3 for a bit more than trading in the S on the 7 GT3 but figured if I didn't like one I could sell it and be out less. Still have both.
Bought never winter driven E39 540i M 6 speed. Love it.
