For me the trade-off in handling was worth it, it is just a higher-end product. The incredible power is intoxicating and it DOESN'T get old, at least not for me. I've had mine for over a year and I think I like it more now than when I first got it. The cabin is a great place to be and the seats are soooo comfortable. However, if you're looking for tossability you should probably go for the new M3, it's a very nice car. You could almost call it a downsized M5 - and it ain't exactly slow either.
