Basically which one will be more sufficient for your needs and your lifestyle. The second one would be asthetics. Obviously this is very subjective, as the old saying goes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". The third and last one would be value. If your paying $70k for a fully loaded M3 or $70k base GTR, the decision would be tougher for me. But if the GTR's price is bloated by dealers of up to $90k, IMO it would not be worth it. If i really prefer the GTR, i'd rather wait when the demanding price becomes normal and the hype is gone. But $80k for the GTR is probably reasonable. Good luck on your decision, i could only wish i had your dilema.
...."IMO it would not be worth it."....how do you know its not worth it without seeing the car or driving it?....the GTR out performed the Porsche turbo and is substantially cheaper....not judging or flaming you...its just a strong statement without merit....
