My First M3

elitex · 01-30-2013, 09:01 AM

I decided to pull the trigger on a 13 M3 space grey yesterday, luckily dealer had exactly what I was looking for. I've always loved M3's, however my love for M3 didn't start as early as some of you.

It was back in the year 99 when I heard about the new E46 M3 being released. And then a week later, I saw one in person, it was a blue M3. Just beautiful. I haven't bought a M3 till now for various reasons. But I now finally own one.

I traded my 2012 550I after being a little underwhelmed with the handling, and a pesky vibration that just wouldn't go away. This M3 is on another level as far as the fun factor goes. Sure, 550I was more luxurious and comfortable but I was getting bored.

I haven't really modded any of my recent cars, but I think I am going to mod this one. Definitely going with M performance exhaust, CF spoiler.

Congrats! Came from a '08 550, felt the same way about the F10 550 so I went with the M3. Love the car, no regrets what so ever in choosing it over the F10.
