Hi,

I just picked up my first M car this weekend. Its a loaded up AW 2011 M3 sedan with the comp package. I have to say this car is a beast in every way. I got rid of my 997 C4S for the M3

Please say more about the E92 versus the 997. Both are serious contenders for my next one.

jaehshim · 10-06-2014, 05:21 PM

congrats!
yea they are two great cars, but if we daily drive it serves two different ways
I seriously considered a mint 997.5 C2S before making the purchase on my M3 2 yrs ago.

why did you move from C4S to M3?

I actually picked up an e90 but my thoughts are below

I really enjoyed the porsche, it was a life long dream and honestly I will get another one without a doubt. The next one I get will be air cooled though.

They are both very serious and beautiful cars with similar purposes in life, however very different beasts.

Interior - I found that both cars use top notch materials, I liked the simple layout of the porsche interior however I like the seats in the M alot better.

Acceleration - Both cars are fast and the power comes on alot differently. The porsche seemed to pull hard from the get go, however the M gets to a certain RPM and pulls like a freight train. I think the M is actually a tad bit faster.

Handling - I havent been able to really push the M yet, but I think the porsche felt a little more planted in the corners. This isn't a good comparison though since the porsche was all wheel drive.

Always good to see another M3 make it into the state of NH. Did you go to Bavarian Auto's Show N Shine last Sunday?

Nice- congrats! An E90 comp pack can't go wrong, and AW too..!

mermar · 10-08-2014, 11:10 AM

congrats - I own the twin sister to your car. Try and reserve jusdgement of your new M for a few weeks as it takes some time to discover all of the features and capabilities of the car. Also takes a bit to personalize all of the settings (ie. My car is set to default to power setting, etc.).

The only must do enhancement I have found is the MPE. Completely intoxicating sounds (exotic) - especially with rev matching downshifts.

Mine is not a DD - I like to keep it super mint and drive it when the weather is clear. Makes each outing special.

mermar · 10-08-2014, 11:11 AM

How many miles on your new M?

///Kayd · 10-08-2014, 11:36 AM
