Very nice and Congrats! So what drew you to BMW?
That V8 is a great addition to the M3 legacy. How do you like the head snappy paddle shifts? One thing I like about BMW's is they put some really good tires on their cars from the factory, that in itself helps to sell their great handling. Anything you don't like about the car?
I drove a Civic for a long time after I got out of college. I had put about 200K miles on that car. I always had an affinity towards BMW after seeing them at the Detroit Auto Show and going to some track meets with some of my buddies. I would say the precision handling is what got me. The M3 has always been one of my dream cars. I've been very fortunate in my professional and personal life and this was always a dream so I decided to pull the trigger (Life's too short to think about what could have been
. Interestingly, I went and bought a civic as a beater after I got the M3.
The tires are nice. I've got Continentals that came as stock. My next set will likely be the Michelin Pilot Super Sport. The only thing I don't like about the car, and its a very minimal dislike, is the weight and cup holders. The cars weighs about 3,800lbs. If they could find a way to drop into low 3,000lbs, it would be an even better track and street monster. However, with 414 HP, it's easy to forget the weight. The cup holders are crap as they are not deep enough to hold anything. However, BMW would probably say we compensated for that in the engine and performance.
After driving the M3, I'm curious as to how the Skyline GT-R feels. All the reviews on that car is that it is a beast, almost supercar level. I've seen the review on Top Gear and other sites and that car is a beauty. Will try to test drive one this summer. Also, like the new Porsche 911 but a two seater is probably going to be a non-starter.
