Late Introduction

STooK · 07-24-2014, 10:30 PM

Here is my new-to-me '11 M3 convertible. I've always wanted an M3 since I was a kid and I still can't believe I'm finally driving one. It's a huge step up from my previous '11 e92 335xi, and like everyone else that went from a 335 to a M3, I have absolutely no regrets!

I love ripping through the gears with the top down and feeling like you are glued to the road. This v8 just loves to rev and also loves to chug that premium gas like cheap domestic beer. But after every drive I'm left wanting more and can't wait to drive it again. I'm definitely going to keep this car for a very long time.

I wanted to share a few shots I took with my friend's SG e92 M3. Hope you guys enjoy, and please excuse the horrible cover up on the plates...

Congrats on the car! I rather like your plate cover up job

I see your friend is sporting AA's signature exhaust. How does he like it? How do you like the sound of his car? Just curious.

Congrats!! I recently moved from 335i to M3 as well and share the same exact feelings.

Good eye! He loves it but I find it way too loud especially with a test pipe. It does sound nice WOT but at low rpms it does drone pretty heavily.

As for mods, I am very happy with the M3 as it came from the factory. I have a lip spoiler on order and will do an exhaust but that's about it. But who knows, everyone starts out with little things at first...

sup man, that's my SG in the pic. i'm running the full AA sig exhaust with xpipe and HFC's and i also have the AA green filter. Personally, I hate aftermarket, but AA's fitment to OEM is almost perfect. They have a reputable name in the game and know what they're doing and that's the price you pay. I started off with just the muffler and it sounded great, but like my friend said... it was kinda loud for his taste. i added the xpipe about 2 months ago and i felt a nice bump in power (even without a tune). the xpipe really didnt make the system louder, but once you get on the throttle it hits deeper and harder notes. PM me and i can send you some video clips of the exhaust.

Appreciate the offer, but I ended up picking up a Challenge setup from RaleighM3. It's gonna be at the shop Monday and hopefully installed the first part of the week. AA was definitely on my short list of exhausts, I just couldn't pass up the deal on the Challenge. Glad you like it! I was more or less just kinda curious what your impressions were. Thanks!
