I just cant keep filling up a f-150 3-4 times a week, I might as well drive something more fun.

The SL has the stronger weight bearing suspension. Not a boxter fan. M3 would work if convertible.

Don't kid yourself. It's cheaper in the long run to just keep driving your F150. That said if I had to choose I'd get the M3.

sean, I know I won't save mony but I am spending atleast $1000 a month on fuel cuz the f-150 gets about 14 mpg, I figure if I can drop the fuel cost to 500 by driving something else, the other 500 could be spent on financing and I could have another toy and it didn't cost me a dime.

Well I have an 03 M3 convertible. I am not a fan of the convertable...it is great when the top is down and horrible when the top is up, bad blind spots and noisy. I used to have 99 hardtop M3. They both get close to 20mpg. Owned the boxster before the M3. M3 over the boxster...more room better performance, can't remember the mpg.
