You will want to sleep with it  But you will love the surprised faces of those who dont have a clue what they are and the never ending fun of surprised M3 drivers  Out of 72 cars, this is then most fun and enjoyable I have had  Oh, and

maybe not sleep with it,i will say its totally different from the ctr in the sense that its not as raw.and you'll find it weird not having to rev it all the way to get the power out of it.it is great having 5 doors,a big boot and plenty power regardless whether you have a car full or not.
what model of ctr do you have?

I have just moved from a B18'd ek9 ctr as I was needing something more practical. They are a totally different drive there quite smooth and pack a punch non of this 9k limit and screaming the tits off it. Go for the aero pack it's worth the extra.

The 3 has traction issues and the 6 has a weight problem. No women are perfect but I prefer my women to be curvy rather than slippery

Put bricks in the back of the 3 and it will go as slow as a 6 is what will happen ;)
