2001 Lexus LX 470. Truck is a beast off road even with light duty truck tires (non A/T tires). It amazes me how great it is despite the technology that was developed in the 90s. As smooth and comfortable as it is, I can only go about 2 hours in the seats before my butt is killing me. Also, although it's a big suv, the Japanese didn't really design the driver's seating position with a 6'7" guy in mind..

**First post here
I'm driving a 2011 toyota tundra double cab. Its a boat but comes in handy too often to get rid of it. Will be keeping as a secondary vehicle in addition to my m235i 6spd. Feel very fortunate to have the luxury of owning another vehicle just in case it rains! |

Currently driving a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, I should love the Jeep as it's fast as hell, but just isn't fun to drive a 474HP brick. Plus the last two summers without a convertible seemed to be missing something. So this wait on a M235 Vert is killing me. I did give in and call as the website has never updated and they said its waiting for a boat at the exit port... Figured what is that 4-6 weeks?

2006 Honda Pilot. I don't particularly like it, but it gets me around town and hauls stuff. I like it less and less everyday though.

Still driving my 2011 328i xdrive! I love the steering feel in this car - sadly will be posting her up for sale soon - only 30k miles too!

I thought about waiting too, but decided to order. My advice? Don't wait. The M240i engine will not be as tunable and you'll get the 3 year free maintenance plan instead of the 4 year plan.

The wife would prefer my modding itch to stay away for this vehicle... I haven't decided on the oem wheel color, they'll end up being snow season wheels. Modifications in mind, I think I'm liking the autoplus rear diffuser I've been seeing around that cleans up the rear end a little more. Also quite possibly updgrade to 19"s I like VMRs offerings specifically the V803s in a darker gunmetal wrapped in PSSs with the M performance brakes in orange. Starting to car shop soon! |

I'll be inquiring within a month for either an M235i spec'd like before or an M2. I would have loved an M3 the extra $18-20k is a hard pill to swallow and IDK if I can get one for invoice within relatively close proximity. |

I've read then watched several car reviews of the M235i. With the whole it's not an "M" car. Which honestly isn't a big deal to me. If the car drives great its comfortable on long trips and still gets up and goes quickly that's enough for me. Plus it's still attractive to look at! Now the M2 is supposed to be the 235i on crack so I've read. I'll be coming from a noisy, plastic creek sounding, wind tunnel of an interior vehicle, that has no luxury apart from a navi unit "lol" and heated seats. |

Out of the 3? I'd take an M2, apart from the fangs (you love them or hate them) I like the lines of the car. The quad tip exhaust cleans up the rear of the car plus the flared arches are a +. I'm not a huge fan of Mercedes styling for some reason. The large air dam front end and swooping pointed rear... and the RS3 won't be coming state side for atleast another year or two (possibly in the next model refresh).

Not in a huge rush still got some time on my 235 lease. If RS3 hits dealers this time next year that would be perfect, already have a deposit down and #1 in line. C43 would be a compromise in that it's AWD 4 doors a bit more versatile but still has some balls and is properly quick. In terms of pure drivers car though M2 hands down, but if it's stuck at the bottom of my hill it could handle like a GT4 and it's not doing me any good.

Well, I'm not driving per se. Living the life of luxury, I have a driver, a gunner and a dismounted security detail when I go places by wheeled vehicle.
