I've driven the R32, R33, and R34. Those are driver's cars. Fact is, R35 really has a lot more driver's aid than the previous generations.

btw yes all GTR's have attessa AWD. Is that the ONLY driver's aid? VDC on the R35 is another driver's aid. Transmission is a BIG driver's aid. And that's the part that I can't live with. Is that so hard to understand?

FD3S RX7 with a lot of balls already modded into it...
I can see similar level of convenience of a R35 (easier to park too) and it takes a real man to handle one of those at 400+ bhp. :P
sorry really out of ideas now...

See? It's not easy is it? lol... This just shows that the R35 is really a great car for the money. Just that I rather have a manual transmission...

I wouldn't go to North Vancouver though
It's very versatile with fold down backseats. It's powerful enough. It's got everything you need: heated seats for this darn cold weather, bi-xenon lights, nice harmon kardon system(I upgraded to Alpine Type R though), nice looking OEM 19s.
It's a nice agressive looking car, and it's one of the nicest BMWs ever made Do I need to say more?  | |

check out the local forums. a supercharged e36 m3 with water/meth injection will be putting around 400 hp to the wheels, laugh at 911s off the lights, comfortable, looks great and a handling goddess - that's my plan. its an epic car to own too.
take a look at vancouvereuros or euroforums, a few peeps have done that. some shy away from the heavy, fat tech-savy new bimmers and go old school, lightweight forced induction for about $30,000 - that's all done up with the best parts. you can save 5gs on wheels, so make it 25.
give it a thought.

everyone praises how fast and smooth a DSG is better then SMG. But the SMG is just far more fun, it actually feels like driving a car with sequential gear box and rather then an automatic w/ tiptronic.
but then, the DCT M3 is a lot quicker then 6MT.

I know you don't need the practicality, but I would test-drive the Audi RS4 if I were in your shoes.

you can always get a G37, then swap in the VR38DETT mod it to 1000HP, full attesa AWD, relocate the 6MT to the back. i'm pretty sure you can afford to mod a car like this.

I dunno about the OP, but I can tell whether a car is boring to drive in a few hours... which if you're wasting that much on a new car, you better take your time on the test drive!!!
