It's been real M3...
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 |

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.

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. Last edited by JC919; 04-09-2013 at 11:11 AM.. |

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.
