Another happy M3 newbie!

carcam · 11-24-2008, 07:50 PM

Great car- so much fun. I was against the DCT until I drove it and now I think it's the perfect compliment for an ideal all-around daily driver. Picked it up Friday and put 800 miles on it by Sunday. It's stablemates are already jealous. Now I understand all the enthusiasm here.

jeff.m3 · 11-24-2008, 07:54 PM

that's quite a stable!

congrats on the M3!

aznrr · 11-24-2008, 07:55 PM

is that a gt2 in the 2nd pic?

panthrax · 11-24-2008, 07:59 PM

the wing isnt a GT2, looks like a turbo with GT2 wheels..

nice stable indeed!

endofanera7 · 11-24-2008, 08:00 PM

Nice rides, nice house, nice garage!

I hope your 911 is covered for lift mulfunction!

wow nice line up you got there and congrats on the new purchase...good luck with it

MWorldorder · 11-24-2008, 08:27 PM

no carbon fiber!!!!!

carcam · 11-24-2008, 08:52 PM

Thanks for the compliments. The Porsche is a standard '07 turbo with GT3 wheels - leaving soon (incredible car but the road noise made it a drag for trips and the turbo lag made it a challenge on the track- for me anyway). The M3 didn't have the carbon fiber roof because it came with the sunroof instead. I've been tempted by the M3's for a while and my X5 had a nail in the sidewall so while they were getting a new tire, they tempted me with this new DCT car. I'm such a sucker. I loved the smooth shifter and clutch in the manual and was reluctant to drive the DCT because I hated the SMG in my M5. A short drive later, I had to have this car. Very refined, fast, comfortable and fun.

tightie · 11-24-2008, 08:59 PM

congrats on the purchase.

dawgdog · 11-24-2008, 09:01 PM

Very nice looking car. Not having the carbon fiber roof, ironically, makes it distinctive. Congratulations!
