    Gorgeous T. Wish I can get a DCT E90 M3 soon especially in a shit color condition so I can strip and repaint it a Porsche Violet color LOL.

    Actually would love a Lemans Blue or Interlagos Blue E90 M3.

    This thread deserves an update.

    Fitted a new prototype GTS 1:1 replica, and finally drilled my trunk for the 1:1 GTS replica carbon wing.

    Turns out I had a fiberglass replica of the original Vorsteiner. Meh! New trunk on the way from Germany to develop a new CSL mold.

And I got a fix it ticket for not having my tag on my car even though the registration is up to date . All that to say, you're still not safe!
    Gotta meet the quota and make money for the state

    check out the tread pattern on the yokohama advan apex ! love the way they look

    ... and you know I barely drive the thing since I havent even bothered to put on my new tags

    I think this thread has beat this horse to a pulp, but completely agree that it's too much car for the road. I did an autox in the E90 this weekend, ran the same wheels and tires I typically do on my E46, and a more capable E46 is dead on. The difference is mostly front end with handling and the E90 fixes what's wrong with the E46, it goes where you point it. I only noticed the weight on braking, but that could come down to pads as I do not have ds2500s for it yet. The engine on the other hand, the s54 you can pretty much use as an on/off switch, I had to learn throttle control with the s65. And it just keeps pulling and pulling, feels crazy(read scary) past 6500 in a parking lot.
    Thanks, I actually had my eye on this specific car for 3 years and was waiting for it! It is a very rare spec combo especially for a last year E90 M3. I do wish it didn't have nav just because the dash looks so much better and more elegant, plus saves some weight but that's a really nitpicky thing overall.

    I do want to maybe get a carbon plenum and throw on a resonated test pipe or xpipe with a different section 3. I feel like this motor could really sing with some tasteful changes. This is gonna sound really dumb but I feel like my E46 sounds better than this E90 M3 does simply because the airbox induction and exhaust combo on the E46 is a sweeter symphony. Really gotta drive them back to back after I get the head back together on the S54.

    Melbourne Red with black/palladium silver two tone interior
    Slicktop
    Manual
    Competition Package
    EDC
    PDC
    Navigation

    Has an intake and exhaust as well with an Alpine Stage 1 E85 tune. Really great power everywhere, feels like a mini S85. And the view from the driver seat with the power dome is really satisfying, the whole car has huge road presence and people give thumbs up all tbe time. Has way more speed, grip and power than is necessary on the street. I really don't get why people say the E9x M3 is gutless, this thing feels just as fast as an S62 once it's past 3K RPM and the low end isn't unbearable.

    Really want to see what it feels like with lightweight wheels, battery, seats etc. It's so porky compared to the E46 yet feels so closely related. It also feels way different than a 335i or 335d despite having the same chassis.

    Joined the club. The refinement over E46 is huge but still feels like it has closely related DNA.
