EMPEROR,
Yup, got the M3 last week. I haven't driven it yet (it was a gift for the GF...err...fiance). I will post impressions once I drive it some.
I really like the E46 styling, and all indications pointed toward a "bungled" 3er for '06. I would have preferred the V8, but I think 333hp is PLENTY for a car of that size. She said that it pulls eagerly, and can't wait until break-in is complete.
Where are you in San Jose?
