Bored with your M3? What do you do?
I know first world problems right! Just wondering what you guys do when you feel like you've taken your M3 as far as you want to take it? I'm not going to doing anything till next year, but if all goes well I might change it up a bit. Right now I just can't justify another 10-15K in modifications to the E90. With the turbo M's coming out, I don't see spending the money on a supercharger for a car that's 5-6 years old and has no warranty.
Not sure how long some of you keep your cars, but 3-4 years into it I always seem to get the itch. I'm even having thoughts of the dark side.... C63 or a used GTR Thoughts? -Beastcat

Well, many of us have reached that point despite loving the M3 for what it is. Your options? Mod (...but even then you will reach a point where there's just nothing else you can really do providing that you've spent the dough) or change cars. I'm not one that will drop the type of top dollar that our most renowned members - with some of the most memorable cars - will, but I will change vehicles if/when one fails to illicit reactions from me anymore. No, it's not the most financially prudent behavior (..cars are my vice, and we all have our vices), but neither is buying a 65-80k car and spending $20k+ in modifications; it's a losing proposition.

3 hours isn't that far. Guys around here drive that distance all the time for track time.

Ain't that the truth!!?? It takes me about 3 - 3 1/2 hours to reach Buttonwillow from Rancho Cucamonga, but my saving grace is Autoclub Speedway in Fontana, CA. It's in my backyard and it's my "home" track.

Return it to stock or somewhere in between? A mostly stock M3 seems to have more longevity for me nowadays, not that I ever did much to my M3's in the past anyway.

Not bored, so much as tired of being passed by the Miata Swarm on the track. I think I need a driving lesson or something.

Ha Ha maybe not but with 2 small kids and a wife at home.... I'm lucky to get a hour to myself to wash it once a month.

imo if you get bored and you consider buying a new car then you haven't purchased the right car from the beginning

Ehhhh, that's a bit of a stretch (...and too loose a theory). Humans are organic/dynamic; what you like/need/want today may not be what you like/need/want next year.
