Doesn't get driven much...
Even that's an understatement. It gets driven marginally more than my MR2. Shit, I think my MR2 has been towed/pushed more than your 335d.

I'm at 185k on my E90... I'm sure he'll be fine. I want to drive one of these things to see if I'd prefer it over a modded current generation S4.

Completely different driving experience. The E90M, although softer compared to the E46M is very connected. Everything is just so tight. You can feel the tranny/diff slap and hear the gears whine, torque loading/unloading on the drivetrain... All of that is normal and in the manual it actually warns you about it. The one thing I never liked about turbo cars is throttle response. They just lag too much compared to a high strung NA motor. And the induction noise from the 8 ITB's is just pure sex.

I'd like to check out the size of the back seat if possible.
Are you and Jon going to make out?

If the back seat isn't useless, it's a distinct possibility.

Wes, are you that high already? What issues have you had? You don't have a direct injection motor though.
It's 8.5 years old now (Aug 2005 in service date) so it's really not that high, but it is high for a guy who has never driven it to work in the 5 years I've had it. No issues significant enough to even mention, just a few nagging things as it gets up there. It's been a solid car, and I've done all the maintenance, even power steering fluid because of a groan it had started to make at about 140k.
My issue now is it needs some suspension work, and the front end has some damage. It's worth ~10k, so if I put money into it, I've got to keep it. At what point do I start to let things go, put money into it, or let the car itself go? It's FARRRRRRRRR from a beater, but if I put 4-6k into it, I've got to keep it because then it'll only be worth $10250 anyway.

Well that's what I'm going to have to go drive one to experience. The B8 S4 is supercharged though, lots of torque and no lag.

I think there might be uncontrollable boners.

Driving dynamics are completely different, unless all you care about is straight line and the M3 is not a 1/4 mile car. I spend more time going around the corners at the speed limit than exceeding it in a straight line.
Well you just answered your own question.

Congrats on the new car; you'll love it. You're absolutely right in finding the non-EDC equipped car to be harsh. We opted for it as we're old and like a cushy ride every once and awhile.
F'n Wes  We almost bought the B8 S4 until we test drove the M3. Although off the line the S4 feels (probably) faster than the M3, the overall package of the M3 made it an easy decision (engine, steering feedback, handling).

I would have loved to still have been able to order a new one back in 2011. I wonder how hard it would be to retro EDC lol /old people problems

F'n Wes... wow it's been a while since I've heard that.
Ok I'll go drive an M3 and see what's up. I WILL not move on an S4 before I do. Still torn on doing a sedan or coupe for the next car.
GimpCivic, how long have you had yours?
Do you still have your CRX with the homemade PCB? IIRC you are a wiring guru. I digress.
Had it since Nov of last year; it's actually for my wife as she needed an automatic car as she didn't want to learn to drive my MT car.
As for coupe vs. sedan, that's a personal choice in terms of style and functionality. Now, it would have been ideal if the M3 came in a wagon!
