Reliability - TL-S
Performance - M3
Utility - S4

Ironically, I'm currently in a similar search (although a bit downmarket) and looking at the 3G TL, 330xi, A4 2.0T and G35X.

The year of manufacture of the aforementioned vehicles would have been helpful.

OP-I bet you didn't think that your simple question would get taken so off topic.

To answer your question, I like the TL-S or the M3.

What do your friends drive? You have to tell us that first, so we can suggest cars that are faster than your friends' cars.

Keeping up with the Joneses can become a slippery slope.

Your car choices in OP would not really outrun any of your friends' cars.

Why get a new car? You will still be slower than your friends.

What would you get from beating your friend's 350z? Just curious.

I like my Mazda. It's a pretty good car.

Okay. I'll stop it here.

Grow the hell up.

There are just so many more important things in your life other than showing off your car.

Getting a new (used) car because your friends drive them is just fucking stupid. Hope you realize that soon. I have a feeling that it's going to take quite awhile for you to understand that though. Good luck.

Not hating on you man. Just trying to give you some realistic advice.

None that any one out of college would be impressed by. Put that you bought an M3 at 19 on your resume and see if anyone hires you. Cars aren't investments and don't mean anything in any real life application.



Also, impressing other people with material is overrated and screams insecurity.
