No, I think he said it was because the M3 had limited slip differential. Not sure what that is, but my M3 was definitely loads better in the wet and snow than his 330. Not that it was great mind, but just a lot better than the 330.
Mine was a 2005 model. Bought it in 2008, and couldn't have been happier. That machine gun type sound when you accellerate hard, is pretty cool. Massively powerful (4.9 0-60mph), but could be used as an everyday runaround. My wife has a Lotus Elise, so it was nice to have something fast, but not feel like you were inside a tin can at times. Plus heated seats rock
