Then in addition to that they modify up to some 80% of the car before they call it a ///M3. Fine there is the ///M5 and the ///M6, both are fine as well for me the car of choice is the ///M3 it is fine the way it is for me. Might not be for others for me it just is fine as is.
I know this since I've had the good fortune to meet some of those men and woman that work on those fine cars for a living.
I drive this car for the power it has that I can call on when I need it, you see this is my third ///M3 and my first one saved my life when a truck driver fell asleep as I was overtaking him in my e46 almost 10 years ago he wired into my lane of this 2 lane mountain road and almost pushed me over the cliff.
The power of the then 333 HP engine and me leaning on the horn as I got out off the way woke him up and saved properly both our lives.
Bottom line, I drive this car for 3 reasons; A) In my book it's the top of the 3 series line B) it is a safe car and C) it has the power when I need it to get ut off harms way  |
They explain really well in this video why so many people want to mod their M3 to reach a higher level of performance !
