I actually know a guy you lost his right nut in a motorcycle accident. 2 lawsuits and $195,000 later, he bought an apartment 4complex and a 911 turbo. Not sure if it was worth it though?

Yes, total settlement was 1/2 million + bike plus, all the medical bills, loss of wages etc., but the lawyers fees you know.... It was the only permanent damage sustained. Like I say not worth it, I'll keep both of mine, thank you.

Well, obviously the complex had a healthy down payment and the 911 was ~70k. I don't know the details....

Let me rephrase what you should be saying... The steering feels heavier and more conected to the road, unlike the numb/wet noodle feeling of other cars. This translates into a much more direct/nimle steering feel. The excelleration pulls strong and so smooth from 3000-8200 that it almost feels uneventful because of the lack of drama & huge power the V8 delivers effortlessly. This car is fast.(PERIOD!)
Careful ///Metak, your bias is showing.

Speed is cheap, if all you want is speed. The M3 is the whole package, in a retail state with all Factors of Safety in place, and like I said before, "You get out of it what you put into it." If all your going to put into it is rushhour traffic, then I agree that you would be better off with a 335i.
