From the E90 M3, I'd rather something lighter than more powerful.
I am with you guys. Having owned E46 330i ZHP, F80, and now a MKVII GTI as daily drivers, I would say the E46 and GTI are much more fun than F80 for daily driving. F80 is a very impressive car, and I really enjoyed it when I had a chance to drive one at Thermal Club. However, I can't push F80 through the gears like I can with E46 and GTI without getting into trouble quickly. It also is a bit numb in typical driving conditions, whereas E46 ZHP (with GTI a close 2nd) always bring a smile to my face. I was hooked to BMW with the E46 (I still regret selling it), but I have been exploring other brands after owning the F80.
