Yeah, they have 90 carmax locations, but only Maryland carries nissan. It is quite an impressive setup there, super easy to set up a deal, ask for Dan Hurtt, tell him Tom with the white base, sport sent ya, nice kid!

Prestige is overrated. I've owned my share of BMW's and Benz's, but now I'm more into just buying what I like for what it is. Don't care what other people think.

So if you take away the "status" part of the M3, would you still prefer it over the Z? For me, no. I like the looks of the Z more, a Touring model has the same level of luxury, and bang for one's buck the Z is a performance bargain compared to the M3.

For the same reason, I'd also take a GT-R over a 911 Turbo. Except in the Porche's case, I like the 911's looks better than the GT-R.

I've never test-driven the e92 M3, but I was ready to pull the trigger on a e46 M3 pretty recently. Overall, I thought it performed just as well and was more fun to drive than the 370Z....
