You won't be disappointed, gas mileage is great too!
That's the thing! I put $60 of gas in my e34 every 2 weeks, which gets me about 350 miles. My friend puts $40 of gas in his e36 325i which gets him about 380 miles. If the M3 is anywhere close to that (which I've read is 18 city 28 highway), the cost of gas will be MAKING UP for the extra $30/month insurance costs.

Nah that's not a problem. I'm just concerned about getting it or not. Hell I could go finance a brand spaking new hyundai, and in 3 years when its paid off, the M3 will still be worth a decent bit of money.
well theres no doubt about it being worth more than a hyundai but for my bank 7 years was the cut off for a car loan for whatever reason. I'm sure all banks are different. Then you get the more expencive bad rate loans.

Bank? What's that? Oh, people still use BANKS? Everyone I know uses credit unions (as do I.) Lower rates and easier to get financing. I just can't see trying to get a loan from a for-profit business, becuase thats what they are tryign to do, make a profit. A community credit union is not-for-profit and PEOPLE make the decision if you get a loan or not, not an algorithm in the computer like at a bank. You're lucky - most banks have a limit of 5 years old!
