They are both fun cars. After driving either one of them I was ready to hand over my keys to my IS350.

I think he meant a full track, you know, with CORNERS.

No, he meant the 1/4 mile race. I remember that part vividly. Then he said something about "stop light to stop light racing on the streets."

I test drove the E92 335i earlier this year and it's still the car that impressed me the most this year. I can only imagine how the M3 drives...

The M3 screams like a banshee. Think Nascar when it comes to the sound.. I got to watch this again..

Like NYC Sportscaster Warner Wolf would say......

Lets go to the video tape

What he said was "The true test to evaluate a sports car is really at the race track; (but) what if you don't have a race track in your back yard?....You race stoplight to stoplight."

I think that's a very fair statement. There are so many of these cars that have potentials that can ONLY be exploited on a race track.

I'm not a BMW fanatic but, it seems to me that, while the M3 is slightly faster/better/quicker, I don't think it's worth the ~$34,000.00 price difference. Especially considering the Dinan 335i has a warranty.

But, if you're a BMW fanatic, there's nothing like an M. That's a factor too.
