Just thought I'd say hello, I've been over on the E92 forum for a while, but picked up this on Saturday after stepping out of a 335i.

Weathers been pants since I picked her up (sorry about that)

SenorFunkyPants · 10-06-2010, 06:21 AM

Nice.

KadeSdad · 10-06-2010, 06:27 AM

Congrats on such a nice car mate

sure you'll get some dry days very soon.

Waiting to hear the 335i / M3 comparison very soon!

Very similar spec to my old car.
Did you want the manual over the DCT or was it just a case of the right car at the right price at the right time?
I really enjoyed being manual even thought the DCT is awesome, maybe I am old fashioned but I like a manual in cars like these.

Any subtle mods planned?

Flapps · 10-06-2010, 01:25 PM

Nice..........the fox red really sets it off

. Hope you know where all the petrol stations are near you. You'll be on first name terms with all the attendants very soon......

Waiting for the sun as well so the roof can be dropped!...........

Oh and welcome to the club!

I wasn't too bothered on the gearbox, although swapping cogs again is a new learning curve.

Awesome colour combo - the first e92 m3 i ever saw was white and think this is the business...even the 18"s are beginning to win me over, was on 20"'s back to 19"s and thinking of getting the 18"s for daily use.

If you're thinking of upgrading to 19" oem, let me know, maybe we can do a swap.

welcome and enjoy - i did have a 335i from autovogue and can honestly say i don't miss it at all, completely different experience even though the 335i was tuned.

Doh. I'm too late as per usual, I've just bought and fitted some 19's.

I put some 18's on to go to the 'ring (and for the winter tyres), have to say I think I prefer them to the 19's

Hi Del,

You kept this quiet mate! Car looks awesome in AW and the facelifted lights look the business as well. Looking forward to your comparison with your old car as well

After all the old pony I gave you mate and still the M3 drew me in, I needed a good long road test, on my own, without a sales bod looking over me, then my mine was made up.
