New Car for me....not new to the forum

Hey guys, I have been on Bimmerpost since 2009 with a FBO E90 335 and just picked up an E92 M3 ZCP about a month ago. The car is Mineral White and has DCT, NAV, CF roof and every other option but extended leather. Also has the tan/bamboo interior which I love. I found the car on Autotrader and was very well taken care of by a really cool guy in Augusta, Georgia. The car only has 18K on the clock. I think I found a gem!

I did a few cosmetic mods myself (grills, hood vents, side markers, reflector covers) and had Raja do the paint correct, opticoat, xpel wrap and tint last weekend. The car was in great shape when I picked it up, but Raja made it look even better.

Hope to see some of you around on the road or at some local events.

Hey. I recognize that garage! Raja does great work. Welcome to the M family. I would be curious to hear how it compares to your former 335.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

comparisons are tough as I have only had this car for a month and I have a new job so I am not driving it as much as I would like....but...from what I can tell in a month, the M3 is a better car all around. The 335 was more torquey and since it was a 6sp it was more interactive, but the reason I bought the M3 was for a more balanced car, which it is. The suspension on the M3 is so much better than the 335 with KWs (which was good).... and the rear diff on the M is a much needed upgrade.

All in all, I got what I wanted and am learning the car as it has so much more technology (engine, tranny and suspension) than the 335 had.
