Im back to the M Family....56k Beware

track_warrior · 01-21-2013, 12:45 AM

Hey guys, well i owned a 2009 6 speed E90 M3 a couple of years back and got into a several different cars after that 2010 GT-R, 2011 Q7 TDI, 2011 C63, and now i am back in a 2011 E-92 M3 DCT. I chose the DCT for DD but to be all honest i thought the 6 speed was smoother. I have some mods on the way for the E-92 but nothing crazy since she is my DD. Anyways im glad to be back in the M family and hope to learn and also share my experiences. So far i have taken her out to my local track H2R to get a time and man she is fun to drive, a bit slower than my EX c63 but then again that thing had 420whp and nt-05's.

My Ex alpine white E90

The new Mineral White E-92

The devil for M owners my Ex C63 AMG

Just for fun here is my track toy:

Here are some videos and times from my local track Harris Hill Raceway comparing my different cars.

Track: Harris Hill Road Mazda Raceway, San Marcos, TX

2011 C63 AMG (420WHP, H&R Coilovers, NT-05's, Pagid Pads: 1:29.5

2010 R-35 GT-R (590 WHP): 1:26.1

2011 BMW E92 M3 DCT (Stock): 1:31.8

2013 Scion FR-S (183 WHP, Weight Reduction, Full Suspension, RS3'S, AP BBK, Mild Aero): 1:28.8

My E92 M3 DCT H2R VIDEO:

Back when i had less mods in the fr-s chasing a friend's e92 dct m3:

H2R Time attack with FR-S best time so far:

Awesome vids man... Really enjoyed that last one

Sean@PYSpeed.com · 01-21-2013, 01:29 AM

What a nice lineup.

Powerbeast · 01-21-2013, 01:41 AM

Great set up bro and congrats on the new E92. Do you prefer the E92 over your old E90?

Koop · 01-21-2013, 01:44 AM

Congrats!

Two questions...why the switch? And is the FR-S as rewarding to drive as everyone says?

Brandon@P · 01-21-2013, 01:45 AM

I love your car collection very impressive

And1M3 · 01-21-2013, 01:56 AM

Thanks for sharing. Love the 86 FR-S and are you planning to drop a to 2JZ engine in it? The FR-S will be a lot fast and an amazing track car.

zamboni · 01-21-2013, 02:18 AM

Nice collection you got there.

AlteredBe4st · 01-21-2013, 05:20 AM

Nice listing of car very impressive, what happened to he GT-R?

dmw16 · 01-21-2013, 07:11 AM

Nice pics and vids, but for the sake of posterity - it's 56k

kwike92 · 01-21-2013, 08:13 AM

Very nice arsenal you got there.

Looks good.

GOLFFRR · 01-21-2013, 08:41 AM

sweet group of cars!

MKE_M3 · 01-21-2013, 09:14 AM

I love the FR-S. What do you think about it as a dedicated track car? Seems like the M3 could be just as fast and still streetable. i've been thinking about using one as a track car, as well, so I'm curious on your thoughts.

catherineanh · 01-21-2013, 09:31 AM

enjoy! this is impressive

redpga · 01-21-2013, 09:56 AM

Nice collection. Congrats!

beton6 · 01-21-2013, 10:17 AM

Man that friend of yours really knows how to drive that E92 DCT LOL!! Had a blast that day, we need to repeat!!

ms372 · 01-21-2013, 10:20 AM

nice! at least you got to try out different cars

mk2001c · 01-21-2013, 10:24 AM

Nice stable, there. Pretty impressive times with the FRS. I also swapped my C63 for an M3. I found the M3 a lot more involving to drive, although it is a 6 speed. Not sure if I would have unloaded the AMG if it was also a manual.
