Should I...BMW F80 M3???
#16
As many of you you know, it's always very hard to resist the urge to live life on a monthly payment. I've tried to take the more natural progression of automobile upgrades and not just jump to the best. I started out owning various Chevrolet's working my way through Honda's, Nissan's and most recently Lexus. Every day I try to fool myself into "loving" my I350 F Sport but I just can't. It has that fun factor but that is about as far as it goes for me. After what I classify working hard, here I am today living the dream I've always imagined. God and family, and a pretty darn nice car in my garage. As a child my crush car was always a BMW, more specifically the M3.
Anyhow, enough gushing. I really, really, want to purchase an F80 M3.
My perfect build would be mineral white metallic with the sakhir orange/black extended merino leather (don't care about having all leather), lighting package, adaptive M suspension, and M Carbon ceramic brakes. I don't care much more about all the other "tech" packages.
My methodology behind the car build has changed quite a few times as I ponder this idea. I actually started out with a more basic car. Initially I was thinking about leasing since it's a "new" model. I've been on countless forums and my thought process is to actually order the car the way I want it.
So, I'm super excited to own this dream machine. What are your thoughts behind my methodology?
Thoughts? Opinions?
Thanks

Might have to consider American v8s with manual transmissions to capture that visceral driving experience again.

There is this 60 year old tool who dogs me weekly on the way home from work. Yeah, I know his M3 is faster than my IS350, but he can't drive and I think I would get better track times than him, but he should do him. Seems like a lot of M3 drivers around here drive like jackasses. The stigma alone puts me off, but I did my share of standing roadside waiting for a tow with an old Fiat and I have to have a reliable car.
