(As I am enjoying the M3 so much may even keep both for a while)

Man, what a great situation to be in. Nice problem! I think you'll love both and keep both!!! Go for it.

What line of work are you in, so that I can try to follow suit!!. Nice one.

Don't tar all hatchbacks with the same brush... If there was a 3dr E90 I'd be driving one now

Because the E36 and E46 compact were so successful and attractive? Hahaha

BMW went down that route - to international damnation. And I doubt they'll do it again.

Love that M3 - defo a better car than the RS3 and like others have said, with winter tyres on will be perfectly fit for our winter weather.

In fact, I opted to use the M3 on winters last year over and above the missus front wheel drive Passat CC and it was infinitely better than the 4WD Impreza WRX that was still struggling on the packed snow.

Look on the UK M3 forum, I am pretty sure there are some sets of M3 wheels for sale shod with decent winter tyres. They won't get max value at this time of year

Suppose I’m asking for trouble quoting a Audi on a BM site but I love everyone’s view of how much better the M3 is over the RS3 which hasn’t even been launched yet so not sure where all this knowledge has been gained (although I think I would agree that the M3 should be a better Car) My circumstances allow me to change Cars frequently without if any depreciation so I have an order for one of the 500 RS3s coming to the UK which I will take and probably drive during our winter months then come February/March next year most likely change for either another M3 RS5 (If I like Audis as the RS3 will be my 1st one) or a new C63 Coupe.
