So sick with the matching 6 pot Brembos...

airwolf878 · 12-08-2010, 05:42 PM

My favorite bumper for the E92 M3 is the Amuse one.

Reedomn · 12-08-2010, 05:52 PM

this thing is sweet....

MNm3 · 12-08-2010, 05:59 PM

^^^ I know. That paint job looks so good all cleaned up.

If that got dirty it might not look so good though

Same here, but yeah...$1,895 for the Sport...$2395 for the Race. If I track my car I'd take it, but the closest my car comes to a track is the spectator parking lot.

Yeah, and the only reason I'd get it is for the looks... the aerodynamics aren't considerably better with that rear lip. Now if one was to get an Active wing, which adjusts based on g-forces, then it would definitely help

So I drove my other car (Lexus RX) after a really long time today (almost 3 mths) and I have to say it felt like I was driving a boat.. hahaha . I guess I just don't like driving SUV's anymore. Of course - wifey wasn't very pleased to hear that..

Hahahha this is not a bad thing unless it is an X5M

BTW have we seen pictures of your car yet? Post em up!

I checked out GT5 at Gamestop today and F*&k me the graphics are good! Gamestop also has a cheap steering wheel, shifter, and pedals setup for $80 bucks. Pretty tempting.

or a Cayenne Turbo

Personally, I'd still pick a sedan/coupe over an SUV any day.

I did put one up in post #1898. It's pretty basic at the moment though. I need to get some mods done next summer. or even better, just replace it with an 335i

Yea, the graphics are pretty impressive. I haven't seen the GT5 yet, but they are pretty darn good even on my GT5P. I've heard the GT5 has much improved background/track details.. stuff like rougher grass with ruts appropriately carved out around the curbs, moving dandelions and weeds ..hahah

I've been driving my mom's CR-V for the past week or so since my car has no trunk and bumper. Besides the "driving the boat" feeling, the heated seats are next to useless. You put on low and there's no heat, then you put on high and you burn your butt.

Isn't this a little cheap? Accident? Lemon buyback?

Lol, that's where I bought my 335i lemon buyback from. Got a great deal too, 25 out the door with 41k on the clock. Buyback was from Cali, issues with injectors and a replaced coil was all it was.

airwolf878 · 12-09-2010, 10:06 AM

New video out for the 1-series M....

MNm3 · 12-09-2010, 01:36 PM

I want one.

MNm3 · 12-09-2010, 01:37 PM

So Anvar, is your car up for sale now? Got an 1M on order yet? From what it sounds like, you should be getting ready for a new car. You've had the M3, what, 6 months now?

Hahhaha Joe, so you've jumped on this bandwagon too???? The M3 is a keeper! Had it for almost 4 months now!!!!

The 1 M is cool but too similar to my old one and I'm sure my old one was faster with the GIAC stage 1 tune.

BrianMN · 12-09-2010, 02:16 PM

The 1 series body doesn't do much for me. It has way too much of a sagging cow belly effect.

ajvee · 12-09-2010, 02:42 PM

I am actually a big fan of old cars. I am a huge fan of the BMW 2800cs. I would actually love to own an old M6 or a nice E30. This might be strange, but I actually prefer the looks of the standard E30 over the E30 M3. The M3 is cool no doubt, but something about those fenders....

BSME90 · 12-09-2010, 03:21 PM

I'm opposite, I'm a fan of tiny cars. My dad had an Austin Cooper when we lived in England and I regret selling my Cooper S. I'm anticipating the Fiat 500 coming to US. Just looking at it, I can already tell it will be fun to drive.

ajvee · 12-09-2010, 03:49 PM

hahah Martin, I said big fan of "old cars" not fan of "big" cars.
