6,500km report

I've now had my E90 M3 for 3 months and have just passed 6,500km so I thought I'd give a bit of feedback.

This car just keeps on giving!!! It feels a lot looser and a lot more responsive now. The shift lights get a regular work out and I just can't help hitting 7,000 before slamming the paddle into 2nd, wind it to 7,000 then into 3rd...problem is the car is doing about 140kmh by this stage!

That M drive button is so addictive. Some fool sits on your tail...hit the M and it's hyperspace!

Around town I'm getting 14L/100km which isn't too bad I guess. I do wish the car had a bigger tank though as the 400 - 450km range just isn't enough for me.

Gripes? The windows are a bit squeaky when closed but this is a known problem with the door rubbers and will be sorted out at next service. I'd like a smoother ride but I know I'm likely to get flamed if I suggest ditching the 19" rims for 18" ones!

All in all I'm stoked and absolutely love the beast!
