Still love BMW M, but onto new project for now...(991 content)

m3_love · 08-15-2016, 11:16 PM

I've said it to myself and many before, I could never imagine myself not having a M3 in my garage, however, this is the first car that made me question my love for the M3. The driving dynamics of this car is simply amazing, and in many ways similar to the e9x M3. That being said, after serious consideration, I decided to reward myself after years of hard work and finally in a position to move on to one of my dream cars, so I jumped ship. I picked up this beauty about a month ago, CPO. For now, here are some quick iPhone pictures, after more mods are complete I will do a photoshoot on her.

Just picked her up from the shop after some cosmetic mods

Could never fault you for making the jump! Hopefully I'll be in the same in a few short years to consider doing the same. Enjoy!

vsix · 08-16-2016, 08:09 AM

Noooooooooo!
j/k

Congratulations man, can only imagine how it is to own it. Must be cool to cruize down the streets where you normaly would drive your ///M but with only one exception you are sitting in an freaking 911!!! Ha,ha!!!
Good job!!!!

J.M · 08-16-2016, 08:24 AM

It is indeed a beautiful machine! Best of luck

F1HAMMY · 08-16-2016, 09:15 AM

I think I just peed on my chin...

m3_love · 08-16-2016, 10:13 AM

You guys are funny lol. Thanks for the comments, it sure is a beautiful machine and I enjoy driving her whenever I get a chance, as this is my weekend cruiser.

Looks incredible!! What rear bumper is that? Doesn't look like the one from the sport design or cup kit.

Thanks man, the rear bumper is a Misha Designs bumper

F80Dreamer · 08-16-2016, 08:18 PM

Looks really good, congrats!! What is the biggest difference you notice vs your M??

Chihuahua · 08-16-2016, 08:32 PM

Beautiful.

ShocknAwe · 08-16-2016, 08:40 PM

Aero kit you put on it really compliments the car well. Look forward to more pictures of it.

To me, it's the traction and cornering stability, which the 991 produces much less body roll. I have yet to drive it on a track, but that's just the initial impressions and the biggest difference I have observed so far.

Nivarox · 08-18-2016, 08:26 AM

That's a cool car and icon to me. I would never consider myself into buying a Porsche but their engineering aspects must be better than all other exotics and they are more reliable too

I am fairly new to Porsche, but I'm not too worried as they have decent reliability, and the build quality is super solid from my experience so far. For a peace of mind, my car is CPO, with extended warranty, so I have about 6 Years, 10000 miles warranty, I would say I'm covered lol.
