Didn't you have the V before? I would take the V sedan over a M3 sedan.

cts v. because supercharger.

I don't know very well the CTS-Vs. They are rare here.
But if you don't care about driver's quality, CTS-V could be the right choice. More torque at lower RPM, quite good comfort, reliable...
But if you need a "double face" car, DD&sportcar at the same time, M3 it's your choice! Even if it's slightly slower than the american. But the chassis is amazing, the steering is like an extention of your arms, its handling is far better than the CTS-V...and the engine!!!!! love it !!!....i know you like big engines, why not with supercharger, but man...a V8 which shouts at more than 8,000 rpm...priceless!
Oh...and M3 looks better

Both awesome, both look great, but I pick a CTS-V.
• It's a slightly bigger car (at least that's how GM has positioned it with the ATS supposed to be similar size the the 3)
• CTS-V will be cheaper and easier to modify (which know damn well you will) and is much quicker
• TVS supercharger...
