Welcome Ludo!
Like Simon I have experience of the E46 M3 running an SMG version for a year some time ago. Whilst it's a great car you will love the Aero and almost certainly prefer it. They have character in abundance.
I took delivery of my first Morgan - an Aero 8 S4 Auto - last month and find it superb. With side exhausts it sounds like a Spitfire.
