Were you able to drive a Comp and a non comp package? I have never driven a non comp package car so I am rather curious. The forums are all about the comp package, and to their point the modifications are rather extensive for it... I kinda want to ride in an M3 on 18s the dubs while epic at handling are not that epic at pot holes.[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu Mar 29, 2018 12:44 pmHaving driven an M3 rather spiritedly... it's
They're fantastic cars and just really sing when driven hard.

Was plenty for me. I liked the way the 18s rode.
The 20s are harsh.
Forum brehs claim the ride is comparable... but I don't know if it is comparable to 19s doe.

as a passenger of an e92 m3, can confirm. It is pretty much like a rocket ship

Except e92 sounds a bit better. But this thing is lighter and has an extra 100whp and 200wtqMexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Fri Mar 30, 2018 8:54 amas a passenger of an e92 m3, can confirm. It is pretty much like a rocket ship

This current car puts down 150-160 wheel over the N55. I don't think power is lacking... plenty of fun in this car.

So I can't find my 335i. I think BMW sent it to auction maybe because I was the 3rd owner... maybe because of the accident? (Although i am not sure if it shows up).
but here is one with 5k less miles than mine 1 owner... 30k mine had a lease buy out of $38,500. Assuming... an extra 3-4k in dealer profit in that car... BMW lost over 10k on my car...

Yea go check out the thread with the popped engine. I am not tuning an M car and praying for it not to blow up. If I wanted more power I'd spend more to get an even faster car. But low 11s and 0-60 in sub 4 is plenty of me. I can barely use some of on the street without getting arrested.

Just saying, the mentality does not fit.... "car has enough power". I've never really said that seriously when there is more to be had.max225 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 30, 2018 2:00 pmYea go check out the thread with the popped engine.

So... Um... Some negatives.
1. Paint quality. I don't know if it is specific to my particular color but the paint quality isn't that good on this car. It seems quite "thin" the Estoril Blue was the best paint I have ever had on any vehicle, yet in this car the Carbon Black Metallic is lackluster. It chips easily and seems very THIN. I don't understand that two cars from the same manufacturer can have such wildly different paint.
I also noticed a ton of teeny rockchips on the rear wheel humps. I guess the front tires throw rocks on the rear? It is pretty wild since it actually has some paint protection film as well, but it went beyond it. Pretty fking wild since this car only has 15k miles.

When I had Expel applied to the nose of the M2, I had the shop remove the factory wheel arch film and expand it out about 20% because I was seeing small chips just above the factory film. They were tiny but apparent.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 02, 2018 1:58 pm So... Um... Some negatives.

When you have a chance could you take a pic of it?
