What comes after an M3 :-)

bramble · 01-28-2011, 02:25 PM

Hi everyone,

Random thought of today - Number 12 !

Life would be horrid after my M3 MCB, however if I were to wake up one day and peer through the blinds what car would I see on the driveway.

It would still have a BMW badge.

It would still be MCB.

It would still be Fully loaded.

Help ?

I really and honestly don't know ! So far, as I grew up and saved ! I went from (in chronological order) 120d MSport, X3 3.0 M Sport, 530d M Sport, X5 3.0d M Sport........

I can't get better than this so what would I do and where would I go ?

Comments and Guidance (derogatory or otherwise) welcome......apart from "keep it" as I am having a 'nightmare' and want to wake up with the MCB there.....

What have any of you gone "to" (BMW) rather than "from"

Thanks Chaps

Wow, you really do wear the pants in the family. If she's a good girl do you ever let her come into the house?

Well once you go ///M you are ruined for life. My DD and 1st BMW that I bought is an E39 M5, and I will probably add an E92 M3 at the end of this year. Similar power/weight/size, but updated technology. New 5 is just too big for me, so I don't see myself going to that. Granted for my wife and I another M would be fitting since we have an E30 M3, E36 M3, E39 M5 and E86 M Coupe

///M for life.

bramble · 01-28-2011, 05:45 PM

........yep, no way back with no option forward......

dibxna · 01-28-2011, 06:37 PM

i vote you get a bmw isetta and drench it in mcb and put a ///maybe badge on it so people know how fast it wishes it was

Another M3 is the only answer IMHO

This is probably correct... I bought my M3 because I always wanted one, it's a sports car...but "isn't", and I could afford it.

I drive a truck as my DD, I love my truck... My gf often gets on me for not taking the M out (when she's around) and I often say "I dunno why I bought that, I'm mellow, it's not me."

Then I take the M3 out and have a silly stupid grin on my face the whole time. I had the day off the other day and just drove around. The M3 may look like a sleeper, but the car has soul. It's like the woman that looks like a librarian, but maybe has an extra ear-ring and her heels are a little higher than you'd expect (gills, power dome, etc)... Then you warm it up, get inside, and whoa!

Unless you bought a DCT and then you have no soul

Z4, you should test drive one to know what I mean

quiksi · 01-29-2011, 07:11 AM

a minivan

M3maniac20 · 01-29-2011, 08:33 AM

Either new m3-but I wouldn't get rid of the e92 for it on an m5.

G-SPQT · 01-29-2011, 11:55 AM

it all depends,
drive m3 pick up outside girls,
drive mX5 pick up family&kids,
drive mX6 pick up some CEO's
if you know what i mean...

Hey, its possible. If BMW does build a "3 series gran coupe" as has been suggested as a possibility, they might decide to call it the 4 series instead. So the M version of that would indeed be an M4.
