I know it may not be what you ultimately want, but have you checked out the Audi A3 yet? That thing is smoking and is cheaper. You could also get a G35 at that price. I understand these are not your choices, but having different options can really help you when buying a car.

The only other cars I am considering are BMX M3 and M5. I'd wait for the new series of M3s to roll out though. The new M5 is already out.

think ludacris on a bike.


Hah. I'd have to have a tandem to sing "Back seat, handle bars up, that's the way you like you fk. ..."

you can probably get a STi and a Z350 for the price of a new M3. but driving a M3 give you mroe feeling of prestige i guess

both the M's are way out of your league.


Erm. No, they are definately not out of my league. The M3 is definately well within my reach. I'm not talkinga bout spending my savings either. The M5 would have to be used to knock 10-15k off the price at least for me to spend within my budget.

Well, when the OP lists cars from a plain STi to an M5, you know this is a bullsh!t thread.

well the current M3 is $49k. you can expect it to top $50k when the new one comes out.

this looks pretty decent... M roadster

if used is ok and you can afford gas... this is a freaking beast

Good point. I only read the part where he said the only cars he would consider were in the poll. Now I know he's full of sh!t.

Like I said, the M5 isn't really in my range, but I wish it was. The M3 and below, however, are.

Anytime I read 'Gallardo', I do it in the corny UK accent from Top Gear.
