I'm Back!

frankzlin79 · 05-01-2011, 12:24 AM

For those who didn't know, I sold my 2008 AW E92 M3 back in January and got a 2011 TL. While the TL is a fine car for its class, I'm pleased to announce that I sold the TL and got a low mileage 2010 AW E90 M3 today! This E90 isn't optioned out as heavily as my E92 was, but I'm still happy to get back into an M. I should've just saved myself time and money by going from 2008 M3 to 2010 M3. Lesson learned: once you go M, you can't drive anything less.

TL has its own charms, as a comfortable luxury daily commuter, however, when I test drove it last year it's nothing close to the M3 when considering driver/car connection, congrats on coming back, maybe I'll see you around man

^^ Exactly. The TL was a very smooth ride and the transmission was smooth. The steering was actually firmer than I expected. But the M3 is a driver's car that handles like a giant go-kart.

So I'll be on these forums more and go to some of the meets.

Don't laugh. At least I have LCI tail lights. HA.

Reaaallly, wish I did not sell all my mods with my old car....a lot of them could've been re-used. Sigh.

frankzlin79 · 05-02-2011, 10:32 AM

Here is a quick pic. I'm probably going to mod it very similar to the old one, except probably no exhaust or wheels this time (for now).

I don't know if you can really tell if mine are LCI or not

. I'm not bothered.

...I want to go look at that GTR at Momentum West...

I got my sedan at Momentum Audi West. There were several nice high end pre-owned cars on the lot, but I didn't see a GTR.

Actually, if you're willing to sell it to me, I'll buy my AA exhaust back, at a reduced price of course.
