Over the past 30 to 60 days, however, the M3 just sits in the garage and no-one wants to drive it any more except I still take it to court or for depositions that are 2.5 to 3 hours away, but even then I find myself not really wanting to drive the M3.
The culprit . . . In May, my wife picked up a 997.2 (BASE of all things) cabriolet with pdk and I literally now drive that car almost every day and every chance I get while my F80 just sits. Luckily, wife is a good sport about it. Wife picks her Macan S every single day over the M3 when I am driving her 997.2.
The 997.2 base model with pdk is simply a much more enjoyable car to drive than the M3 ZCP with MT and it basically is not even a close call about which car I WANT to take each morning
I will likely dump the M3 and bring the DB11 up for Florida for back seat duty as the M3 simply is no longer being driven and apply that payment toward something else.

Your situation doesn't really resemble a "next step" scenario, you clearly have a large and interesting garage with or without the M. We don't operate in a vacuum, since the vacuum between an M3 and a 911 is filled with lots of dollar bills.
If you had just one car to DD and track, what would it be?
