Just purchased an 08' Vert

mjposner · 12-07-2011, 06:39 AM

My 08 Z4M was just too small, so I had a chance to drive an 08' DCT Vert and just couldn't resist. Its Melbourne Red Metallic over Black and only 26k miles.

I had owned an E46 M Vert but it was a pig compared to this car (but the E46 M coupe I owned was great).

The DCT is also light years better than the month I spent with an M5/SMG.

Anyway, look forward to hanging here.

Congrats on the car. Welcome to the forum.

I am curious about the "pig" comment. I had an E46 M3 vert and it was no pig, especially compared to the E93 M3. It was not as fast, no, but it was noticeably more nimble. I prefer the E93, but do still miss the old E46 now and again.

Congrats. Nice color combo

The sound at red line with the top down makes me smile every day.

Congrats!

Ateam · 12-07-2011, 09:12 AM

did you mean the e46 vert was a pig compared to your z4m? or to the e93 m3? I think the e93 weighs like 500 more pounds than the e46 vert due to hard top and all the usual vert supporting structure

Congratulations, welcome to the e93 club - the most intelligent, physically attractive, witty, and successful contingent among e9x owners. You are truly among elite company.

Congratulations on the purchase! Melbourne is a perfect color for the E93.

signes · 12-07-2011, 02:24 PM

One more welcome. Also a former E46 vert owner and my car was not pig, had a great spirited feel compared to the E9x (though obviously slower overall.) Post up some pics.

Rob@StrasseWheels · 12-07-2011, 03:45 PM

Congrats! Now post some pics!

mjposner · 12-07-2011, 08:16 PM

Sorry if I offended anyone about the pig comments. What I was referring to was the dramatic difference in feel moving from an 02 Coupe to and 02 Vert. It was like night and day. From a purely weight perspective, the E93 is even fatter but seems far better balanced. Perhaps I had a lemon?

Endless619 · 12-07-2011, 09:35 PM

Nice and congrats. I am thinking about getting rid of my Z4MC thats modified for comfort levels rather than performance. When done right the Z4MC still sits nicer than any E9X M3 but I want the comfort versus the cockpit Z4MC. I want the M3/X5 interior and comfort level now as I get older. I have an newer X5 as well and am getting addicted to all the room (less power) and overall space. I am going 6 speed if I get it. The dealer really wants my CPO's Z4MC but they want the Magnesium Blue Volks and suspension with it. Not sure about that. Anyway congrats and happy driving.
