I'm thinking about turning to the darkside.
I test drove a new M3. Black. 6-speed. Truly vader style. It really amazing how hard those things run. The ride home in the A4 was so........ whatever. It doesn't really matter. Stage III or M3? I find myself asking this question often, and I can't find a better reason to drop the Audi like a bad habit than buying an M3, but I just can't let go that easily. *banging head into wall*.

If the money isn't a problem, then get what makes you happiest. Personally, I find a modded A4 or A6 to be a better bang for the buck. Just wait til you see the insurance premiums on an M3. 8-)

It's not so much the money.
It's the practicality. It's completely worthless in the winter, impossible to not worry about parked, and quite the money hog. But still, it offers a sensation thats hard to replicate. I would like to do a stage III, but the time frames I have gotten from APR are anything but consistant. It's frustrating.

Re: It's not so much the money.
Don't get me started on APR (see my thread from yesterday).
There are other companies selling stage 3 kits. I've had a very good buying experience from PES. Check their timeframe.
The M3 is a nice car, but really expensive (and as you mentioned already) not very practical if you actually need to go places when the the weather is suboptimal.
