There may be more in the world, but in this particular forum, who is actively posting, you are probably the only one. Why is this so hard to understand?

Earl...

...I can rattle off at least 12 F30 owners - without even trying - that post regularly on Bimmerpost who have owned ///M3's from the E46 or E9X generation, and who now drive 328's or 335's. I can name even more who went to another marquee, and didn't purchase the ///M3 equivalent. I'm sure if we took a poll, you might be shocked. You DO assume too much.

An M3 owner posting on a Ferrari board is NOT analogous to a 3-Series owner posting on an M3 board. Nice try though!

I could care less what they think and frankly their opinion in the matter will inadvertently mislead future M3/M4 buyers. That's what I have been complaining about.

Obviously it's a free world and freedom of speech is what we all take advantage of, but that's not my point.
You are impossible dude.
