To answer a couple of questions.....

The M was awesome, loved every minute I owned it and think I created a unique machine. However it was time to sell it at 179K miles. My wife has a 2011 G37X and was pushing me to get the coupe model. So I went for a test drive but saw this Nismo parked out front. The only word I can use to describe the test drive is visceral!

Other than the headunit, it is the only car I have owned where I didn't have a list of things I wanted to change.

So do I like the Nismo better? It is different and I am really enjoying that. Light and fast...a new change from the heavy vert. Plus most people do not know what the Nismo is...and that confuses them...and I dig that. :
Makes sense. Did you have a lot of problems with the M3? Would you ever recommend someone getting an M3? I do agree about the head unit, but it sounds a lot better if you hook up your iPhone (turn volume all the way up on iPhone) & use Pandora. A lot of people do not know what the Nismo is & are like WTF is that your driving, then they are like oh ok nice.

Not really. The usual stuff with a car of high mileage (fuel pump, roof motor, seals, etc). The main problem was that stepping foot in a BMW dealer for a problem meant a minimum of $1k!

Would I recommend anyone own an M3? If you have the cash and want to mark it off the bucket list, sure. They are awesome cars with a ton of aftermarket possibilities. But, if you think a BMW roundel has magical powers and the performance will be ungodly comparatively, then think again.
