This was discussed repeatedly in 2004, when the article came out.
I believe the results are primarily the result of the demographics of Porsche owners resulting from the higher price point. Those old guys in six-figure cars may be able to pull the young hotties, but apparently they can't close the deal.

CPO? If so how many miles? What packages did she have on her? She is a real beauty. Congrats again and welcome to the world of M'dom..... 
CPO warranty through 8/09 or 100k
The car has about 38k on it now, took delivery with 37xxx. I had it inspected and took a four-day, 350 mile test drive prior to purchase.
Carbon/Black
6-speed
Titan shadow trim
HK sound
Premium package
Xenons
Heated Seats
I'm picking up 17s and snows in a few days. I-pod and XM will be added in the near future, once my friend buys me a Nano 4Gig. I'm going to get a GPS for the PDA phone I plan to pick up to cover the Navigation.
In the summer I plan to get the OEM 19s or some BBS CHs, better brakes, and a few other things here and there.
Sweet! Four days and 350 miles! WOW, that is some test drive. I picked up an IPod and was going to go with an adapter for the M, but my build date was 12/01 one month off from being available. Pissed off is an understatement.
Keep me/us informed on the progress. I am interested in the GPS for the PDA phone you're talking about. I was going to put in an XM radio, but never go around to doing it. Other things came up each time I was going to look into it.
The mileage isn't bad. I just turned 40k on mine. You must of got a good deal. I really really want a set of the M3 19" Competition package/CSL wheels for mine. Someday....
P.S. Let me know how it is in the snow with the 17” and snow tires (what kind?)….
P.S.S You’ll love the heated seats. I sure do….

I am looking at the Siemens SX66, from Cingular:
Pocket Office (view/edit/create Pocket Word and Pocket Excel)
BlueTooth® (hands free and file transfer)
Microsoft Mobile Operating System - Pocket PC 2003 2nd Edition which includes touch screen
Backlight slider QWERTY for text input
WiFi (802.11b) for high speed data access
Xpress Mail email client (Enterprise Edition, Network Edition, Personal edition)
NO CAMERA!
Quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
GPRS class 10
POP3/IMAP4 (preload: SBC, BLA, EarthLink)
Speakerphone
Ringtones: MIDI
64k color screen with 240 x 320 pixels
PIM functionality (ex: outlook email and calendar)
Extended memory slot: SD card
You just need an aftermarket SD GPS card and unit. My buddy has this on his PDA. The GPS unit is the size of lighter and works even when in the glove box.
The deal was pretty good, $38,900 + TTL. Essentially KBB trade-in + CPO at dealer cost.
I am ordering 17 x 7.5s and 225/50/17 (or possibly 225/45s). The tires will likely be dunlop wintersport M3s, but I may go for more snow versus dry traction and pick up some Blizzak WS-50s.

Like an NSX with a lift kit, back seat and the engine in the front . . .
Normally I don't thread hijack like this, but it is arguably on topic as part of the BMW lifestyle . . .
It needs a short-shift kit and an exhaust, but other than that it is very very good in stock form.
Normally I am irritated when a manufacturer detunes a car and puts in a power button like the P500 button on the E60 M5 or the Sport button on the E46 M3, but let me tell you that Sport would be very hard to deal with in the winter given how strong it makes the throttle response.

Thanks for the quick response. I bet it is such magic to drive...I have so many M3 videos and the car just sounds amazing and seems like an experience every time you drive it. It is annoying that the shift throws are sooo long on the M3....one thing I like about the G35C is the short and heavy shifts, makes you really feel like you're driving a true "guy's car." ![[:)]](/images/smilies/smile.png "Smile [:)]")
Speaking of which, do you know when BMW will stop taking orders for the 06 M3? Adam told me 3-6 months (no 07 model year) and that kills me as I have around 9 months left on my lease.![[:(]](/images/smilies/frown.png "Frown [:(]")
