If you get an F80 M3 with the (likely relatively cheap according to the Canadian price guide) full leather, it will be a very nice place to be. Not M5, and I won't say "not far off", but it's a far cry from the base F30 3 series. The seats alone are a huge upgrade. The Merino blows away the Dakota. The gauges are much, much nicer. The DCT shifter elevates the center console. The CF trim is really sharp. Etc.
Okay you have really gotten me drooling now, I'm very excited
