I'm not talking about that kind of haterz. I am talking mainly about the people who *****ed in the other thread I created.
Not liking the M3 is fine and expected. We are all individuals. Some more than others...

You're quick on the over-reacting trigger.

Congrats.

What's with the orange markers on the front bumper? My E92 doesn't have those.... Those seem to stick out more than the ones I have on the edge of the fenders.

Different implementation on the M3. The regular 3-series have them integrated into the wheel arch. Not sure why they put them there...
I plan to get clears or body color matched covers.

Good choice. Seems weird they'd place them in a way that it would make them stick out so much.

Thanks everyone! I have been enjoying the car all day. Now I have to figure out how to operate all the rest of it.

only thing i dont like about it is the pedals seem a but....simple compared to the rest of the car. the cf roof, the shiny paint and all the trim in the interior and no sporty-ish pedals.

nice car though, its on thing to hate on just products but i'm not stupid....that is a serious upgrade.

seems like you put down a serious dp. did you have this in mind for a bit and start saving or are you kenneth and live at home and manage to save every cent you make?

I noticed the same about the pedals. AC Schnitzel or Dinan can fix that.

@ Kenneth comparision. I didn't know he lived at home?

I agree about the pedals. Something will be done with them.

You saw my garage. Own my own home. Had a deposit down for about a year so I have been trying to save for it. Always been good with money though.

And who needs those two extra gears either?

On a slightly related note, I didn't notice that the shift boot was actually part of the shift knob before... strange. I'm not sure that I like that.

I got a rich buddy of mine who just got a new M3 last month, well everyone has driven it.... and they removed the exhaust system off it so its just got straight pipes that end before the rear diff....

I have driven it, and personally I drove a A/T 335i Sedan and liked the 335 better because it felt much more relaxed and didn't need all em revs to go.

I will take a few videos of his M3, he wants to run my R32... I will deff have a video of that to show. Hes not a terrible driver- 12.7 in the 1/4 mile. Our test track at work is a little over 1/8 mile so hes got his hands full.

One thing that really surprised me about the m3 was how comfortable the interior is! The 335's interior was comfy and functional, but I sat in an m3 with the optional leather and I was blown away. Definitely expect such a luxurious feel.

Love the car by the way, and I hope you're out adding miles so you can finish break-in!
