Umm... The lotus u want is around 90$k... And M3 is around 40k$ seeing how you are thinking of spending an extra 50k$ i would think of other cars such as, an BMW M5, Audi A8, Porsche Cayenne Turbo =]


I would pick the M5 =]

For this reason I'd get the M3. Parts and repairs on the lotus would be outrageous. Not to mention hard to find. On the west coast there's BMW dealers everywhere, plus their parts aren't too bad.
