Official Toronto M3 Spotters Thread

Sighted an Alpine White E90 M3 going south on HWY 6 around 4:45pm today.

How come you didnt deal with the OverSeas Mercedes guys?

Were Mercedes Thornhill giving away such a good deal

Drove in from Oakville early this morning. The roads were perfect from Oakville until the 427, and then snow, white-outs and black ice all the way downtown. I passed 10 accidents (4 badly into the median / guardrail) in about 5 kms. I had full winters on, but it really doesn't help on black ice, and saw a pickup spin about 20 feet in front of me through 3 lanes (somehow he did not hit anyone!).

I don't think today is a good day to pick up the car. Some sections are fine, but I couldn't believe how bad other areas still were.

Do not pick it up today with summer rubber. The main streets are just wet, but not worth it if you hit some residual snow in an intersection or side street. I would wait until Saturday...Looks like it will be a nice crisp dry day.

I saw this car in Oakville (Dundas & Prince Michael) about 2 weeks ago.

Didn't get much of a deal. Oversteal said I couldn't get one for 4 months. Thornhill had one on the way. Just got on the train roads look dry I'm just going to take my time on the way home.

Thanks for the updates guys.

Congrats on the car - enjoy! (Going to be interesting to see you drive 2 cars to one of our meets in the spring though - would love to check out the C63 too - I took one for a test drive last spring and it was a blast)

Careful driving - the road in T.0. seemed to be a little icier than west of the city. But I am sure by the time you go through the salters will have caught up. Traffic was a mess this morning.

Again - Congrats - post some pics

Makes sense...well congrats once again.

I guess you can give us an unbiased review of both cars by the time spring arrives, having good experience behind the wheel of both rides!

But I understand you are coming here today, be extremely cautious on your way back, especially when you hit parts of guelph, kitchener area by the 401, they are pretty bad still...

Good Luck

Let us know that you made it back. Hopefully you still have a grin from ear to ear.

lebreeze · 12-10-2009, 09:09 PM

Made it back safe. The highways were perfectly dry. The car is a absolute beast

I was a little skeard at times

Can't wait to get my winter tires on so I can have some fun. The torque is unreal. It was way too cold outside to take any pics. I will try to take some this weekend.

Glad to hear you made it back home safe and sound!

I can understand the torque in that thing makes it a screamer

Looking forward to the pics!

Nice...congrats, great cars to have fun with!

Jaypod · 12-15-2009, 07:21 PM

Not an M3, but spotted a white Gallardo near the oakville go station around 7pm tonight making its way thru the slick conditions! And some guys store their M3's for the winter....

Nice and subtle, I like it.

Speaking of which I saw a white GTR on Friday and an R8 today (both in Markham)... cars are meant to be driven right?

or the ferrari that got stuck on east beaver creek on our first big snow fall? ...

shagkie · 12-15-2009, 08:48 PM

Saw a white M3 today around lunch on Hwy7 stopped at the Woodbine light. Couldn't see who it was because cars were blocking. Nice to see M3s on the road in winter

Exactly, and I really want to experience the M in the snow!

Well I'm sure it'll snow for real soon.
