Help me choose what car to buy

Allright, i've been doing a lot of research on cars and came to a short list and i'd like your help to decide. I expect a little bit of bias, but hopefully some of you would of had some experience with the others. Here's the choices;
G35 6mt coupe
BMW 335i coupe
used BMW m3
used Cadillac cts-v

No matter what i get it'll be used because of my connection with the auto auction guys, but i can easily get a g35 or 335 demo or something with less than 5,000 miles but the m3 or cts-v would have to be a 06 or 05. I live in west virginia but i have a new f-150 so whatever i get i'm gona tinker on, but nothing crazy......there will be no TT in a g35 future for me. In the research i've done, i like a few things....Does anyone know anything about the HKS Dual Hi-Power Ti Exhaust, i found it on SRD, or the altered atmossphere Spec 3” MaxFlow True Dual. I'm also looking at the volk gt-c or the sevas s7 in chrome for my rim choice, i'll def. go offest but i haven't been able to find any decent pics of those rims or anything good on how those exhausts sound. Any help i can get would be great.

Hold off on the M3 and the G35, as soon as the new versions drop they'll depreciate substantially. If you're going to get one of the two i would wait a few months and you'll get a much better deal. The 335 Coupe is sweet, fast and definitely tunable.

I forgot to mention that i'm 6'10. I have a lot of problems with room. I have a 03 audi a6 that i have plenty of room in but i def have the seat all the way back. My main car now is a jetta vr6 making about 400 h.p. that i love but i'm getting rid of it for this car. I am def to tall for it and it's a rough fit in and out. I've heard the bimmers are bult for the shorters guys but i can't say i've ever been a coupe yet, although i'm going friday to test drive a new 335, and a new m3 that comes in friday morning. By the way, the bimmer above.......i love it

A 6'10 guy in a g35 is like trying to fit a 10lb sausage in a keyhole. Im sorry but you wont be confortable in the G ...
now the 335i FWIH the seats are built for thin people in mind not us fat/big americans the height should be adjusted but the width may be a problem... you will need to sit in it and find out...

so that leaves...
used BMW m3
used Cadillac cts-v

M3 would be in the same boat as the 335i...

while i havent sat in a caddy CTS-V... normally they are built for the americans in mind... and with that you'll prob be more comfortable. quality/fit and finish are questionable.

gl keep the options comming !

if you want room to tinker, the CTS-V has the largest aftermarket without a doubt.

335 and chip it... i doubt any of these cars will have much room tho.. the CTS even tho it may look roomy from the outside is pretty small on the inside.

According to the websites the g has more leg room than the 335 and cts, i'm not that big, i'm a fighter so i gota stay under 235 to be in my weight class to beat up on all the little guys that think because they're strong they can fight. we'll see after tomorrow if the bimmers a choice

Holy Crap ...Hows the weather up there?....I'm 6'4" so I can "kinda" share your concern, I can tell you that 335 or E46 M3 have bit more leg/knee room and head room than G35 coupe. But then again, if your main car is a Jetta? either of these cars arent going to be a problem for you.
