Feels stupid to say out loud, but i have spent the equivalent of a new f80m3 on my 2011 e90 m3 in the last 2 years. If I had a choice, i would do it all over again. The s65 engine either speaks to you, or it doesnt. For me the e90m3 is a forever car. I am not looking at any of the newer M cars to replace the e90m3. That doesnt mean i wont own any of the newer M cars, but they will just be passing phases. I also own an e30 which i have had since 2002 and have put a stupid fuckin amount of money into, and thought i would never ever replace it. But as i get older and have less and less time and energy to put into cars, i have started to consider selling the e30 in order to preserve the e90m3. I just like it that much.

For context, i have had extended time with an f82m4. It was FAST with only bolt ons and a tune. Initially i was blown away by the power, but that novelty soon disappeared and I was left with a car that just didnt feel special. I even got SUPER close to buying a DINAN stroker e60m5 after my first e90m3 was totalled, but after test driving and thinking it over, i decided i needed another e90m3 DCT.
