Thats a great looking interior... Sleek looking but without too many gadgets and gizmos cluttering it up.

I bet you are gonna love that thing

I saw the M1 at the Detroit auto show....sat in it, played with the 6spd.....just not practical for me. Plus they have no options, just paint color.

This M3 has the adjustable seat bolsters.

the e90 M3 is lighter--slightly--but it has almost twice the horsepower from the 328 so it will make up for it.

On the wheel and next to the shifter....so yes....and again, every option. They don't make the CF roof in the sedan, but the car is only 26lbs heavier than the coupe.

well I know it has more power and that it's lighter!!! I meant, it felt heavy went I turn the car, compare to the Rx8, that feels lite. So I like to know if the M3 feels the same, because it was a turn off, and don't get me wrong I love the M3 since I got in to cars and since I saw my firth one in person, it was my friends dad M3, back it 1990 and I believe it was an 89 M3!!!

Oh finally an M3 which doesn't have CF all over it and pointless air scoops! I have been surrounded by asian-modified M3s way too much at UW.
