Who takes their M3 out driving just for fun?

WRXXX · 09-02-2013, 02:44 PM

Just drove 1/2 hr to get a carton of milk. Even though I could of just walk across the street for one

lmendz71 · 09-02-2013, 08:49 PM

I am just excited driving my M3 as much as my 8 year old son. He's into racing games, apps and he knows his cars and gadgets. He's always excited every time I pick him up at school.

Great question.

The hubby and I regularly take out our M just for fun!

BEST. CAR. IN. THE. WORLD.

Just IMHO of course.

Canyons. Videos. Fun.

One of the perks of my position is a company car, so my M3 will be used solely for fun.

W9 E92M3 · 10-23-2014, 04:05 PM

I drive my E92 M3, just for the fun, as often as I can. This car is like Jazz music.

I live in London and rarely use the DCT in Drive mode - always use manual. It's the first car I've ever had which gives me the frill of riding a sports bike (Ducati 996/Yamaha R1). The 2nd gear is outstanding in town.

dj_dub · 10-23-2014, 04:36 PM

All the time...especially when I'm bored with nothing to do, it's a great way to cure that and brighten up my day. Everytime I get behind the wheel of this car, my day is better.

Every chance I get... cheap therapy (okay, maybe not that cheap!)

Helmsman · 10-23-2014, 04:46 PM

After soon a year I still close to run out to the garage both mornings and evenings after work, excited and look forward. The exhaust sounds starting up, clonking in a gear with the DCT, engine wine slowly taking off, I seem to never get tired of. Then after get going, the stiff chassies, precise steering, keep that nice feeling going. And thats only the beginning, soon enought things getting warmed up for some reving, and that awsome DCT shift down, and up, and down again....😊

FLOSS M · 10-23-2014, 05:02 PM

That V8 sound never gets old ...... audio therapy all the time !!!

Helmsman · 10-23-2014, 05:10 PM

Yep, and didn't get worse with an OEM mod neither.. !

jjzheng115 · 10-23-2014, 08:01 PM

My car is my daily also and I just absolutely love driving it. I wake up cranky all the time and the only way really wake me up is to take a drive in the M. Nothing does it like the M

AMG_LAWL · 10-23-2014, 08:10 PM

Mine is a DD.. so i guess Im having fun all the time lol

I always find myself driving longer routes even though destination is only a block away.

fleainat · 10-23-2014, 10:31 PM

No doubt. I only bought the M3 in September, but it gives me something to look forward to before and after work.

I'm starting to understand why people buy motorcycles, because the adrenaline is indescribable...

Oh yes I hear you when i go visit my kids up near Elk mountain I have a blast buzzing around my old stomping grounds. I also have the north Georgia mountains to play

wildwestm3 · 10-24-2014, 08:12 AM

I've put 8K miles on mine in 5 months, so apparently I drive it a lot. It always puts a smile on my face. I love the look out the front window with the hump and the vents. One of my favorite things is the DCT, which I drive in manual mode 99% of the time. I find myself downshifting just to hear the throttle blip. Absolutely the most fun car I've owned (and I've owned a lot!)...

BrewRifle · 10-24-2014, 08:21 AM

I usually go out for a drive at least Saturday or Sunday morning when it's cooler out for 2-3 hours of driving, sometimes legally...
