Aside from the proportions and profile, I don't see much similarity. That is of course if you aren't familiar with a shooting brake

Not the IT guys. They tried to, but most of us didn't want it.

Strangely I have similar issue this morning. Had a really rough idle when I start the car and the TPMS showed me a low tire pressure in rear passenger.
Mine idled as if it was missing a cylinder. I restarted the car and it went away.

J BONE · 01-21-2011, 05:22 PM

My car was running like a f'ing champ today. Felt more alive than ever for some reason. Been really playing around with the settings lately as I am feeling more comfortable with the car. Always runs better when clean

BTM · 01-21-2011, 05:22 PM

Either of you get 1/2 engine light?

J BONE · 01-21-2011, 05:25 PM

Wanted to add more. I have to say that the M is really an amazing car. I am sure the exhaust effect has a mental role in this as the sound is so sweet. Of course I was running stock exhaust on the 335 so a huge difference. But this car just wants to be driven hard. I find that in traffic, it runs kinda shitty but once you get the chance to open it up a little, it rides great. Never really noticed that with the 335. Mental or reality? Not sure. I cannot imagie what it is going to feel like once I hit the M button. Actually a little nervous to do it at this point. I don't even have the power button on and the car just goes balls out. Bottom line...another happy M owner. If you are thinking about an M3, do it

UdubBadger · 01-21-2011, 05:28 PM

yeah i get the concept of a shooting brake... its just not a very good one IMO. Ugly

I read the manual on what the M button exactly does Jay, and there's a "M Button" settings menu where you specify what you all want to happen when you hit it. You can specify what level of DSC, Power mode AKA throttle sensitivity level (there is a higher setting in there you can specify over just hitting the Power button itself), and Steering sensitivity. Off the top of my head, I think that's it

BTM · 01-21-2011, 05:29 PM

My car is the same way boner...a classy looker that likes to be ridden like the slut she is...hates colds starts...protests shifts under 3k...lsd binds in slow tight cornering like parking lots, but once you learn the quirks and understand it was built to be driven harder it all makes sense
