That said, M3 hands down.
So you're telling me the tourer 3 and an M3 are almost identical. Sorry but no.

If you refer to my original comment I mentioned a tourer. You just skipped over it.

Also the choice of a brand new fully loaded next gen car Vs an outdated M3 just doesn't appeal. The M340 will be quicker for lots of things due to the xdrive.

I'd gladly have the next gen tourer when it comes out.
Wagons are a tough sell here in the USA. People just haven't bought in to the looks of them and gravitate towards SUVs instead. I'm one of them as well. Although something like an E63 wagon is a mean wagon but I still wouldn't own one.

One thing for sure in favor of the M3 is the looks. As much as I like my M3, if it was in the shell of a regular 3 series, I don't think I'd care for it as much. I think once the G80 is out, people will feel the same way between the M version and the regular 3 series.
