just wanted to get first post over. in the GTA in ontario and in love with the car. Searched for 2months when I decided to make the switch to find what I wanted, won't bore with stock pics as it sits now. 09 Alpine white on black, cf trim and roof, dct, nav, on 220m.

Came from 02 sentra spec v that i played around with, to a ducati 749s, to c63 to this

C63 was our first 'nice' car; supposed to be our 'family' car but i played with it a bit. Kw v3, tune, de-catted and removed resonators lol about 415/400 to the wheels. Loved it to bits but it was always a 99% car for me. The 1% felt like a race car that couldn't.

M3 is different; for me in a good way. Can't wait to start modding when the funds roll in lol

That is plain Awesome!
It will be interesting to hear your comparison to the c63 after you log a few miles.

Sinful · 09-20-2014, 07:36 PM

BMW M3 for the win! Welcome !

steven_s · 09-20-2014, 07:46 PM

I've logged about 2k km on it already lol

Honestly the crowd is different. In person and online.

The c63 after pipes and tune; the first time i blasted it with everything off, it was a true "OMG I'm GOING TO DIE" fast. Of course it was a torque monster, sideways is always at a touch, and of course you can't deny the sound of a 6.2 v8.

My 1% gripe again was the fact it felt like a "race car that can't". I mean, I could've dumped MAD money and made it competitive, but the MB tax is substantially more than the BMW tax lol but I wanted something that can be a true weekend warrior that if I wanted to keep and be a serious contender I could.

The torque converter tranny was lacking; anyone who says that or the MCT, even tho wet clutch, is good are in denial. It's good; but not good enough paired with the 6.2. That paired with the fact that you can't put anything more than 275 in the back; you're only meant to go straight.

Obviously getting into a coupe was different. DCT is a beast and I haven't done the gts tune yet. Yes down-low torque is gone but it's not HORRIBLE as some people put it. Screaming to almost 9k is nuts. Console is hilariously like a 92 camry; c63 seats are THE SHIT. Leather is better in the M. Sounds like a prius

But I'm more happy with the way it drives. On full sport suspension (EDC) it feels comparable to the c63 with KW v3.

TL;DR (Too long; Didn't Read) lol

c63; luxury first, second, and third... sports sedan fifth...
m3; race car first...

Fix that Prius sound with an exhaust

Nice ride!

Nola 32/65 · 09-21-2014, 02:00 PM

Like you said the c63 can be pretty decent. Friend of mine is running mid 10s in his c63 sedan with bolt ons and a 100 shot.

Exactly, trust me, it doesn't need to sound like a Prius. I'm sure you've found plenty of clips on here, haha. Anyway, welcome, you'll love it.
I've always loved the C63 too and always nudging my wife towards one. Hasn't happened...yet.

ha, yeah i've got something lined up for the exhaust

my mod list is pretty similar to most on the boards but expensive lol

yeah my wife liked it, could be very tame when you want, it was her first time driving a powerful car and loved it when she pushed it

I've taken a methodical approach to mine, I've had it for two years and just have exhaust, tune, wheels. This fall I'm going BBK and coilovers. Big expense. Next summer, supercharger, hopefully. Then it will be complete...for a while, haha.
