Yeah, but the M5 turns A LOT more heads than the M3. It always will. There are just too many M3's on the road, which is one of the reasons I can't pull the trigger on one. You just see them everywhere.

Gene, we had this discussion. lol.. your killing me, im guessing springs, because coilovers are alot, and I knwo they can be adjusted, but Joe will literally kill me. I can feel the tension already and its not even here yet and hes STILL debating on whether or not to buy my 550. He says ive grown too "attached" to it and he wont take care of it as much and he doesnt want to hear my mouth(nice right ) Ive already slowly detached myself, but its hard. Ive always been like this, regardless of what I own/lease. So, i kinda get anxiety as the days get closer as im anxious, yet dreading leaving my car to him ..lol..



OH AND TO chime in, there arent many and i mean like hardly NONE.. no m3 sedans on the road, hardly ever! so mine is going to turn heads, regardless, plus it will look just as sexy..

the driver is what will be turning their heads, not the car.

Why thank you KS. Although I had mine before you got yours, I should be welcoming you to the E90 club.

Sad reflection.

Shame leaving it outside while I'm in scoffing.

Wasn't even considering an M3 but after I sold the E60, I took a while to look around and this popped up. When I bought it last year, it was an ex-BMW Ireland car with 2000 miles on the clock. Deal was struck so I said why not for a while. Might as well go to my grave broke. I'm told there are only 4 E90 M3's in Ireland so relatively rare. I've only covered 12K Kms so far and in that I've been over to the UK twice in it. So not used that much. It certainly turns heads and I'm not sure if it's because it's an M3 or if it's because it's a '4-door' M3. I think some people do a double take. I was also asked if it was a 'real' M3 because it had 4 doors. My answer to that was, no it's a 316d with a fake bodykit.

Looks like a nice spec you have there yourself. The options are offered differently over here. Whats in the competition pack? :-)

Congrats on the new ride irisheyes I guess this is why you haven't posted any good jokes lately


Comp Pkg:

Lowered suspension by 10mm
Slightly more tuned suspension (EDC in sport is now Adaptive, unlike non ZCP EDC)
Different wheels
