Any Regrets?

mickey knox · 07-05-2008, 09:40 AM

Just wondering if anyone out there that have their M3's have any regrets about it?

J08M3 · 07-05-2008, 10:18 AM

not yet

Big Windy · 07-05-2008, 10:43 AM

wait til the new i-drive comes out on the 09 and you'll get some attention on this thread.

LittleRocket · 07-05-2008, 11:05 AM

Love it and don't really care about new I drive. Not the reason I bought the car.

Dascamel · 07-05-2008, 11:18 AM

Passed on the new iDrive just to get the car sooner

Ronin13 · 07-05-2008, 11:23 AM

It's been confirmed that the 09 M3 will get the iDrive update?

Davinhci · 07-05-2008, 11:30 AM

I don't care about any updates to idrive, i like it now I have no problems with it. No regrets just loving it more and more.

Sure new iDrive not a good reason, but an enhancement that may lead to more satisfaction (lease for 2 years - so what?; buy like I do for 5 - more important).

ihyln · 07-05-2008, 11:49 AM

I regret not ordering one sooner

I only regret was not getting the loan check earlier last week. My car interest creeped up a .25 point, thats a increase of $6/mo payment. $360 over the life of the loan

that could have paid for a V1 radar detector

no, not confirmed. but looks promising...

CatchM3 · 07-05-2008, 12:14 PM

Regrets? Not at all. If anything, I'm loving my car more each day!

Patricius · 07-05-2008, 12:26 PM

Call me crazy, but I don't think we'll see the new iDrive in any 3-series for a little while let alone in the 09s.

you're crazy. why not?

It's amazing that IDrive takes a JPL physicist to operate it...

I know numerous people in their 50's who have it, and have absolutely no problem with it...

So you know a lot of guys in their 50s who work for JPL?

Ramphaus · 07-05-2008, 08:16 PM

can't believe how I feel every time I get in the car. I'm as excited as the day I picked her up.

gbelton · 07-05-2008, 08:57 PM

None whatsoever but I have an M5 to always keep things fresh!

I regret not getting the sedan. I like the coupe (looks) but the functionality of the sedan(putting stuff in the back seat area) as well as the cheaper price I think if I was doing it over I would get the sedan.

lugnut · 07-06-2008, 09:15 AM

None at all. The new idrive looks/sounds like an improvement (the current idrive in my M is worlds better than my father's 2nd gen idrive though), but that is a very minor tweak. Seems odd that they wouldn't include it in the launch M3's. I'll believe it when I see it that if it shows up in the 09s.

A slighter deeper exhaust note down low in the RPMs would be nice though.

I got the Sedan, and I believe that this may truly be the greatest 4 door car ever built. Seriously.
