Well Demon it seemed no one answered, but the M3 does have wider fenders and a wider foot. Mercs aren't anything special unless you get the new S-Class, and german cars altogether don't look to special since you couldn't see a difference between an A4, S4, RS4 unless you have some common knowledge on cars. IMO, i would get two cars with the budget you're talking about. A B6 A4 Quattro for a daily and strict sports car for the weekends. Maybe an older NSX, it isn't amazingly fast in the straights but the sound of the engine and the MR set up make it fun to drive and isn't that what it's all about. You can do all that for $50-60k depending on how many miles bother you on the NSX. Or you can go my route and spend $12k and build yourself a LSX RX-7. Or spend 17-18 and have someone else build it, you won't regret it!!
You could also go for an Cobra replica car which are a blast to drive with side pipes screaming in your ears, and they're eye catchers. You can find a good one for $30k in good condition.
If you want a daily sports car than i'de say get the RS4, M3 interiors are rubbish now and i can only handle so much uglyness. But if your smart you'll go all out and have a real sports car and relax when you want in an comfy A4 or somethin.

That's an interesting way to think about it.

But I disagree with you on the fact that you say the E46 M3 will look outdated pretty soon, if anything the new one will look outdated faster then the previous design.

I believe the new BMW's are nothing more then a test bed for the next generation of the BMW's which I think will look much better and much well thought out, and they won't have to be redesigned as soon as they come out like the 7 series did.

It was a big jump for BMW to go from the previous generation BMW's to the new ones, and I think we have to give them a bit more time for them to get their act together to design "the ultimate driving machine"

Yes, they have wider fenders and quarter panels.

The 7 Series was redesigned was on schedule. BMWs have a 7 year cycle and the facelift always comes after the 4 year. The E65 7 Series debuted as a 2002 Model and 4 Model years later, the facelifted one is out as a 2006 Model Year.

"Lows: Race-car creature comforts, race-car noise, limited rear view." personally, if i was in your position Demon i would go with Cayman, honestly who cares if the design is the same its about performance and thats one hell of a car!! or i would go with the Exige!! though, realisticly i would probably get one of these!! http://www.carclassic.com/stock.asp?StockID=102805

nah, I was refering to the extra drag compromise for the added downforce that's all.

The Z06 crushes any Porsche besides the CGT and the 997 Turbo.

i guess lotusgt has not heard of mobydick or GT1.

and i am waiting for itsfun3 from qvarnis, it should break the cgt lap time at ring.

[dutchmasterflex]

Obviously he's talking about the current Porsche line up.. and I bet the z06 could hold its own against the 959 although I dont know too much about that car except that its pretty dated by now
