i'd take the M3 because it has a higher output per liter and much lighter body. well to be honest, it's either the GTR or CSL variant

Exactly the same as the base MSRP as the M3 sedan, the $700+ delivery charge is usually not yet included. Now about the Benz's reliability...

Yup... I really do hope it's better in terms of reliability than before. But again, IS-F for me.

Y'know, I didn't think I was going to like the new V8 M3 so much, but the sound it makes is epic. I'll still miss the chainsaw killer buzz of the old M3, but this new one sounds like a gurgling beast. It's 100% more aggressive in terms of looks and sound than the old one.

Ehem..... A brand new V8 M3 with the engine bay still white-glove clean? I'm slobbering.....

The funny thing is, it was still that clean after it had been drifting all day... damn those things are reliable. They said that the clutch was starting to get soft, but it still felt like a freaking hammer to me...

Dry sump with three oil circuits... man, that engine had me drooling...
