My favorite E92 so far!
Cant really top this guy. It's perfection at its best.

My 335i stickered at 47k... base was something like 40k and 7 grand worth of options. For 2007 I think the M3 started at 52 or 54k and since it came with a few things standard that the 335i did not, I figured if you set the options roughly similarly it was only 8 grand more for the M3 sedan. I'd have done that in a heartbeat if I was buying instead of leasing. The lease rates for the M3 were MUCH worse though... to the point where you were paying almost all of that 8 grand extra in depreciation for a 3 year lease... so according to BMW a 335i and M3 would be worth about the same after 3 years. Of course that's not true, but the fact is they were subsidizing 335i lease rates but not M3s.
I have to say the M3 sedan looks quite a bit better than my 335i and the coupe version looks even better (even though I'd never consider a coupe).

I have a very strange love for the E92, I frequent m3post.com daily, and I 
when I see one on the NYC streets. Its definitely on top of my next car list, especially since I see some selling in the mid $40K.
Don't get me wrong, I love my G35x, but something about that popped up hood, and that beastly V8 engine makes me go ape ****.

I prefer my wheels more on my ride. I agree the sedan's looks aren't as good. The IS just doesn't work as a coupe either. That is what I loved about the 335i. It looks great as a coupe. BTW, there were no 2007 M3 cars. They stopped in 2006 and started back up in 08 with the new body style. The new M3 sounds great and handles great but a 335i has more torque or it can have more torque
