RE: Putting the stock GTI-VR6 in perspective -Reply

Forget the M3.  The 850i blows it away.  It is an incredible drive. Got a 
friend who is kind enough to have let me driven it a bit.  Sad to say, but I'd 
let my VR6 go for one of those!

Gee...being in Europe I guess that is the price on the 340Hp (or is it 
320?) 190mph monster m3...Uh, I'll send you a check, would ya buy me 
one?  I am a dual citizen (US/German) so maybe I could find a job 
there...Just to drive one :)
