Please, do not feel alone-you have friends.
As an M3 owner for a number of years and a soon to be M50 posse member, I would prefer to consider you as a kindered spirit.
Axiom is good, we have the option of choices. The M3 M40 M50 group is alive and well, just not as vocal or numerous as the others.
If nobody else has said it: Welcome to our exclusive club.
