    Somehow I don't think the OP is going to get much of an unbiased opinion there.:rotfl:

    You'd be surprised actually. You are going to get a reasoned conversation on this sort of subject there even if it does end with "I'd have the BMW of course".

    The EVO X is very hard core, even compared to an M3, is able to out pace an M3 at places like the Nurburg ring. If a hard core adrenaline rush and the level of comfort that comes with it is what you want get the EVO.
    An M3 is a comfortable cruiser as well as an able track weapon. The E46 M3 can give you mid 30's to the gallon cruising on the motorway but something in the rang 22-28mpg is more common.
    A 335i (six cylinder twin turbo) 30-32mpg 0-62 5.5 seconds
    A 330i (same six cylinder engine normally aspirated) 37-39mpg 0-62 6 seconds
    A 330d 45-50mpg 0-62 6 seconds
    A 335d 42mpg 0-62 5.9 seconds

    Me? Mmmm, I'd have a 330i I think :rotfl:

    If your looking at the younger E92 coupe model the boot is pretty big, bigger than the saloon and they fold 60:40 though it is a 4 seater car.

    I hope your going to get out on some track days where you can use a beast like that properly :D
    You'll always run out of road too soon and hit speed limits even sooner, to get the best out of a car like that on public roads :cool:
