Lets see you do this with your M3.
I could have bought an M3, but bought the boat instead. Never regretted it for a millisecond. I utterly fail to see the logic of buying a fast, expensive sedan, unless it is just for the snob appeal. See how long you keep your license if you try to use the performance on the street. I can cruise at 75 mph in my VW and get 45 mpg to boot. Could cruise at 90, but can't afford any more points. And with the $40K I saved I could get a Formula Suzuki, and have some real fun, without worrying about The Man.

Speaking of girls in Mustangs......
Your point?
Would rather see my girlie in my Boss 429 than in some kraut burning shoebox with all the class and grace of a pregnant rhino on stilts.
If I want automotive beauty, I look at anything by Pinanfarina.
If I want raw horsepower, I look at my US manufacturers.
When I want bland, sterile, nearly identical styling...I look at Germany and Asia.

Jebus,
Ricelicker called the M3 a feminine vehicle. A girlie car. It may not appeal to everyone; but, it is not a "girlie car". The mustang, on the other hand, has been kept alive during the past decade of anemic performance, by it's appeal to the fairer sex. Thus the earned badge of girlie car. Things are starting to change in that arena though, and it's about damn time I say. That's my point.
The 429 Boss was not a girlie car by the way. Not by a long shot!

I resent those remarks about turtlenecks and boat shoes.
I wear both! Well maybe not together.
Having owned a '95 Lightning, and still own a '90 5.0 LX, a '01 Cobra Convertable, and a 2001 Lightning. I don't think you should classify people that way.
and I definitely don't drink FooFoo Coffees.
However, my wife does drive a Volvo station wagon. But in my defense it is a T-5 Turbo Manual and will smoke a stock Mustang GT.

All of those who are trying to pound me...remember...I'M ON YOUR SIDE!
Odin's Wrath - I got those times from BWM (Manufacturer Data) for 2002 M3 Convertible Manual
Everyone - I was referring to BMW in general as a feminine company...look at the interior...they are for those woman who only will drive imports and marry men who can buy one for them (this does NOT apply to ALL of them) The engines are for girls too.
THEAUTOMAN - You understood my point...and you had to pull it out of context---The L is an American car...and Ford is an American company...don't diss everyone's L by labeling it as Canadian...and you are right...the plant is in Oakville, Ontario
And in reference to the Z06...it sucks
j/k...the Z06 is the most amazing car in production as of today...I want to own one sooooo bad...I drool at the sound...Z06 (ah) Z06 (Oooo!) Z06 (Oh Yeah!) Z06 (My heart is throbbing) Z06 (Ooops!)
Red Z06 with Black/Red Interior
BTW....I DON'T lick RICE....I KICK IT...RIGHT IN THE ( Y )
