I had an E90 M3 for 10 years. Modded it. Lots of fun from 5500-8500 rpm. Mine was a manual so it took some riding if the gears to extract the performance. The short gearing helped offset the weaker low end torque compared to a larger displacement motor. Lots of personality. But the last E90M3 was made an about decade before the last IS500 and not everyone wants a 10 year old car. I sold mine and bought an F90 M5. It’s a great all around combination of size, luxury, performance, and has decent handling and the AWD puts the power down.
