Considering to trade in the 335 and the Golf, and get a new car. Perhaps that's a easier way to get the golf off.

I am thinking about the C63, do you guys have any suggestion?

Cheers,
Mike

I know what you mean M3 is the king on the road nothing can beat it in it class.
But for me I still would not get 1 unless there is a 2nd hand 1 for 700k
I will still sick to a 135 and a super7

The trade in price for the golf is real low nowaday, because the new car price is keep dropping due to the next gen golf is coming this year... ...! But 4door M3 and C63 is kind of the same thing to me! Why don't u go for the GTR or 997 if you are not going to keep both 335 and GTI.

get a 997, then u will start thinking how good the porsche compares to the m3 and you eventually sell the m3 to get somethingelse

gtr - good price in hk compares to other countries but watch out for the ones that had dsc turned off many times, a tell tale sign of launch control.

Like Ray88 says
I would not get the C63. It is all much the same classs as the M3
Get the GTR it fun and very cheap right now.
997 is a good can but cost a bome to maintain just like the Ferrari and Lambo

e90 site is a closed circuit
better fun and people on here, they even call themselves

"official hk e90 meet" ha ha none of them i think are even contributors,
should be called "unofficial e90 odd bod meet"

Derricka dn I did the run in the sunny afternoon today, nice weather, sun, good views at the top,
lots of sunbathing babes as well

The M3 finishing quality is a disappointment I must admit...

Regarding the M3 to 335/135 comparison, i guess you really need to really drive it to understand why it is costing almost double. In short, the M3 just feel so much connected even in stock form, from steering feel to suspension, I seems to know much more about what the car is doing espeically when being pushed.

My 335 have done almost everything I could on the suspension upgrade (except the rear tower bar), but still feel disconnected in comparison to the M.

I stand my claim in the e90 website, no matter how much you spend in modifying a 335/135 to make it as fast or even faster than a M3, it is still no comparison.

Jeff (the S4 friends I brought at our last drive) drove my 335, M3 (mine and at ZhuHai BMW experience) and also the 135, he has exactly the same comment as me.


my 2 cents,
Mike

Such a smooth ride today to TMS. We took the same route as last night drive and not many cars on the way. Maybe we can try other destination such as Tai Mei Tuk (Luk Keng) next time.

too many 63's and imitation AMGs with quads on the road to make it look special, nice car though.
my choice if my wife permits at nearly the same price would be:

Maserati GT, 4 seats and supercar looks and sounds
used 430 Spyder

you already have a 4 door M3, why get another 4 door car??
pingy i thought the GTR had huge issues with the gearbox???
