Checking in
Just signed up for the forum and wanted to say Hi!
Not new to the M family. Currently running an E90 M3 having previous owned two E39 M5's. Was happily contributing to the UK M3 community on the M3 Cutters forum until it became obvious that the moderators were trained in N Korea! I'm out of Fife Scotland but spend a lot of time in the USA on business and have a lot of good friends that side of the pond. Looking forward to learning and hopefully contributing along the way Wee picture of the current fleet... |

Welcome! Beautiful rides.
What do you miss (and not miss) about the E39 M5, compared with your E90 M3?

Nice! I'm sure there are some great roads in Scotland to enjoy them both.

Thanks for the warm welcomes guys.

The E90 M3 is it's natural successor IMHO (not the E60 M5). So close in terms of concept and delivery. I miss the low down torque but the E90's top end offsets that. I miss the bullet proof build quality (my last one was 10 years old and didn't have a single squeak or rattle), and the E39 felt much bigger inside. Don't miss the poor rust proofing (many UK cars suffer badly from corrosion) or the parts prices (which are high even vs. the E90). However, the decision to move to the E90 was predominantly down to the DCT box. Absolutely LOVE it, and hooked up to the S65 all other bets are off Would like to put another E39 in the garage at some point. Money, space and time being the only roadblocks |
