Hi guys, I wanted to share my first few days with my new M3...
Never have I been more anxious over a piece of machinery in my entire life. I tried my best to overcome this fear by reading everything that I could about it before finally taking over the reigns.
Nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to experience.
Pushing the start button ignited a sense of euphoria in me, that I could never get tired of. The gurgle of the engine gives you an indication of what's hiding within the engine bay. Blip the accelerator and out come the goosebumps. Depressing the clutch, slotting it into first and releasing the clutch was all it took to put a smile on my face.
Wrap your hands around the steering wheel, and you feel every bump on the road, turn the slightest amount or point her in any direction, and she will do nothing but obey you. The feedback makes you feel like you’re in a second skin. Every gear change, the engine note, the induction noise, everything makes you feel connected to the car. Everything makes you feel in control.
If you haven’t figured out by now, I absolutely love my M3. I had the pleasure of spending 2 glorious days driving her up from Cape Town, to her new home in Johannesburg. It’s a 08 E92 Manual with 58’000kms on the clock. Now for some pics….
