It's been real M3...

Straight Dave · 04-08-2013, 10:55 PM

Well many people know me on the forum and in the Houston area with my M3 which I bought almost 2 years ago, an '11 le mans blue e92,which was my pride and joy. I've driven and enjoyed that car for most of the 56,000 miles I put on it!

But now its on to bigger and better things and I thought about so many different options, I said to myself I really want a sedan that can fit more people and something thats a little bit bigger so I said Panamera GTS. Then I said I want the agility of a coupe so I said I'd wait for the 991 GT3, but im an impatient bastard

. Then I said I work in the oilfield so it would be nice to take my car out to the oil patch with me so why not an X6 M or an X5 M. But when I drove this thing it was no longer a question what I should buy it was more of something that was necessary. I give major props to Advantage BMW in Houston who gave me a great deal on an M5 with 110 miles on it. Here are some quick pics I took. I take Delivery at the end of this week so I am def excited for the future...... Let's just pray that damn mod bug isn't still going around

It's been real M3, but move over for big bro

Congrats!! I made the same Jump 5 months ago and couldn't be happier!

Congrats but the pictures are hurting my neck.

Love the new ride...

...but I probably would have supercharged the M3 first, as money doesn't seem to be too big of an issue.

davesaddiction · 04-09-2013, 07:55 AM

Congrats.

Bigger? Yes. Better? Eh...

I was thinking about doing that before I actually drove the m5.... the m5 really can do it all, with a few well placed mods it will be a track monster as well

JC919 · 04-09-2013, 10:44 AM

Congrats! I have been really amazed by the F10 M5 my dad picked up last September. The car really is crazy fast, though it took me a while to get used to all of the tech being that I've only ever driven manuals.

You say you work in the oilfield. I worked offshore for a couple of years before coming into the corporate side. Invest in a beater truck or SUV like I did. My M3 was not getting parked at the PHI heliport in Houma, LA for three weeks at a time.

LargeMargeSentMe · 04-09-2013, 10:53 AM

very nice

DMW2315 · 04-09-2013, 10:56 AM

It's a Pre-Owned?

Probably not, OP works in the oilfield, He must be stinking rich.

I wonder what He takes to the oil patch?

Word! I dont work off shore so my car wouldnt be parked but it would be going on lease roads in the middle of west Texas

So the company I work for are actually giving me an 08 F150 to have fun with, 168,000 miles on it but thats low for the oilfield haha

Actually I did get it for a pre-owned price but the car had 88 miles on it. The story went that a doctor bought the car but right when he took it home his wife told him that its "to much of a car for him" and he had to bring it back.... He ended up in a F250, poor guy

If he is on this forum just know that I will take care of your original car

Been to Midland once to give some training. Hope I never have to go back, however, the contrast of incredible luxury cars parked next to old, beat-up pickups is pretty fun to see.

Nice congrats...now just hope WTI price stays up there to support the payments haha
