For me I'd have the M3 it's awesome, but the 1M just keeps getting better and better. This is such a hard question to answer.
It would be my daily driver. Drop off the two kids, 5 and 9 at school, then hit my favorite on-ramp, then work. After work, hit the onramp once more, pick up the kids and go home.

Saturdays, take a nice drive on some twisties, but mostly a few on-ramp bursts.

Periodic road trips up to the mountains and short bursts here and there for a little excitement. The M3 fits the bill but it's a lot more expensive. I just test drove one and it was beautiful. comfortable and sounded nice. It did take a long time to warm up, then felt a little sluggish unless I opened it up.

So I guess that is my question, if it was you main car and you could only keep one, which would you keep?

Thanks for your help.
