New Member of the M3 Family

mvestor · 05-12-2013, 07:47 AM

After a year or so of searching for the right deal, I became the proud owner of an Alpine White on Black/Fox Red E92 M3 yesterday moving up from an almost 9 year-old 330ci ZHP. I originally wanted to move into a sedan, but could not pass this up.

From what I can tell, I am the 3rd owner of the car. The first being the owner of another local car dealer and the second being a new father of twins who got the look from his wife to move into an SUV.

After a 200+ mile trip home yesterday, dodging two accidents on the Turnpike, and some back road fun, I cannot say enough good things about the car. Although at times I missed the more refined sound of my old I6, this V8 just wants to go!!

I'm looking forward to staying involved in the forum and getting to know some people along the way!

Nice ride!

PhillyNate · 05-12-2013, 10:31 AM

Congrats. This V8 does just wanna go though not the best at anything, this engine and car are just so much fun! Never stops pulling! I hope this V8 is remembered as the "Chevy 350" for BMW. A lot of awards for a reason. Seems to be reasonably bulletproof as well.

Beautiful car. Jumping into the new e90 m from my full bolt on e46 non m is still taking some getting used to lol. But this car offers more than the e46, I just wish I could have kept my baby. Now some ass is probably driving it

Congrats and welcome!
