I drove an M3 yeeeeaaarrrsss ago so I can't truly compare the PP to the M3. However, I will say this - I can't justify the cost of an M3 now and the 330i PP really got my heart racing for quite a bit less.
The torque, power, handling completely blew my 323i sedan away while still being "affordable" (completely relative comment there). The alcantera steering wheel is very nice and I love the rims. That's why I bought my 330i PP. Plus, it is nice that there's not too many out there.
However, it is still my dream to one day have an M3......actually an M5!![Wink [;)] [;)]](/images/smilies/wink.png)
