And wait 3 years! My point is i think you could get into the S5 realetively soon. If it were the case that the M3 was availible, OF COURSE i would take the M3..

Still believe that the 335i is the car that do everything very well. And not me, but was "Car and Driver" repetidely said that is the best car around.

As I remember, the G37 "Beat the King" or something to that extent this year. So apparently C&D doesn't ALWAYS think BMW to be the best value.
