New member to the M3 Forum
Hey guys,
I have a 2004 G35 coupe 6MT right now (I've had the car for 3 years). I absolutely loved the car, but it felt like it was time to move-on, after more than $10,000 of track modifications. Since my father recently got a 2011 E92 M3 (fully loaded AW DCT), and my brother got a 2011 E82 1M, I decided to go to local BMW dealership to test drive a couple cars last weekend. At first I was pretty set on the new 2012 135i, but then I saw a lightly used E90 M3 6MT sitting in the showroom. I drove the car, ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT, put deposit on it and I still think about the feeling I got from driving the E90. I got a call from the dealership today saying the car will be ready for pick-up on THURSDAY! I AM VERY EXCITED Since it is my first M car, I will have a lot to learn from this forum!! And if there is a fellow M3 driver in Montreal area, let me know!! Thanks guys! Pat |

Congrats! Do you plan on throwing winter tires on it and enjoying it year round? Sounds like a visit to Mt. Tremblant is in the cards for you in a few months!

I'm still debating if I should drive it or not in the winter! I live downtown Montreal, so I will probably take it out when the roads are clean time to time And yes, definitely going to Tremblant a lot this winter! |

Welcome! That E90 M3 will look much better in the driveway next to your brother's and father's cars!

This is really difficult, but if I really had to choose one, it would be the feeling of driving the car. It feels like a very refined car. When I test drove it, I was surprised how well it handled with stock suspension.
