Whoa guys slow down there! I can never afford the M3, I'm only a student and my parents bought me ths IS-F. But definitley down the road after I'm out of college I will buy an M3. I'car in I've always like it since childhood, but hearing about BMW's so called service and problems with the M3 I decided on the F. The F is the better all around car in terms of power,speed, and luxury. Oh and to answer the poster from Bevery Hills, I live in Irvine here in Orange County, so I see all kinds of cars. I've seen ferraris, maseratis, you name it but dont know why theres a lack of M3's. You know what I mean, its as rare as seeing a Lambo or Bentley everyday. I've honestly only seen 1 white e92 m3 convertible, with the top down. I already posted about that experience and How we were neck and neck in a little scruffle. Compred to that I've seen 3 other IS-F's(Red,Smoky Granite, and Blue). Buyt Yeah it feels great to own the F.
