Thoughts on the new E92 M3?

I gotta admit..

From everything I've read/watched on the new e92 M3 coupe's, i absolutely want one lol. Don't know why exactly, but the car just seems incredible.

Been watching a lot of youtube video's (mainly top gear, fifth gear, and other reviews on it).. the car just seems like so much fun.

But then again I remember I have an evo lol.

But anyways, what's your guys opinions on it?

I'd love to have one. But I know I can't afford one.
But for now I have this as my wallpaper:

Not sure how much new M3 going to run probably high 50s to low 60s starting, since the new E60 M5 jump like 15+g when it came out. I'll drive one soon and I'll see how it is., I'll bet its a lot more fun than the E46 M3

I'm trying to find the link, but I think that's the sedan base price.

Edit: Found it - from caranddriver.com: comparing the new lexus to the m3. I was wrong, sedan actually starts vase at $56.6K, coupe at $59K!!!

"In most cases, Lexus models undercut their comparably equipped German rivals in price, often by a measurable amount. But at $58,865—we’re estimating a $2100 gas-guzzler charge for both the Lexus and the BMWs—the IS F is just a few hundred bucks below the lighter, more intense $59,375 M3 coupe but is more than two grand higher than the comparable $56,675 M3 four-door."

I saw a white coupe in front of me two days ago....thing blew through a red light so i couldn't keep up but it looked hawt for the 2 seconds that I saw it, haha.

Yeah I'll be buying one in a few years when I'm physically able to spend $60K+ on a car without throwing up...

I have always loved the styling on the m3s. The new one is badass. That cf roof is sick. Can't wait to get the ams one!
