Just got my cactus 2001.5 6 speed. I am having second doubts about going stage 3. the car has about 75K and i am concerned about long-term problems. I have about 12K in stage 3 parts that are still in the boxes, but i am thinking about getting rid of the car and of course the parts for an e39 M5. I would be close to the price if i got rid of my car and the parts. what are your thoughts.

My father has a 2003 and it is my favorite car to drive of the bimmer lot, E36 and E46 M3's are the others. But it's not a true "sports" car, but then neither is the S4. I would describe it more a muscle car that can handle extreamly well. It's so smooth, the engine is butter, and it is quiet on the highway. The V8 is sounds awesome if you are on it, and it has "legs" on the highway.
If I had a 996TT I would rather have a stock E39 M5 than a Stg 3 S4 stitting next to it. Ohh yea, and it was purchased with 8,000 miles on it and a 6 year certified warranty. Can't really beat that. So it's under warranty until 2009 or something silly like that.
A stage 3 S4 sedan can be a killer ride though as well, but an M5 is an M5 in my opinion. And that's what I would take.
