One month with the M3 (M3 vs 330d - VLP)

Excellent write up :bravo:

raise: nice raise:

Great write up, totally agree :thumbs:

Makes me miss my e46.

However with that said, the current M3 isn't as hardcore and more manageable everyday as the previous, yet it still has that "M-Factor".

Ash ur not the the first e90/92/93 ///M owner to state the above.

A guy that lives in the area said he would trade his e92 in a heartbeat, if u gave him back his e46 ///M. Granted he had a chip, exhaust, filter etc. on it but he said it felt "quite raw" vs the "silky refined" e92.

Good stuff Mo, glad you enjoying the M :thumbs:

 

[netercol]

spot on comparison.. :thumbs:

Accelerate hard with the M3, you feel different. You need to be awake, you need to watch the red line, you're a lot more engaged.

Well, I'd love to have my e46 back with the e90. But will never swap out the e90 for it. :rollsmile:

Have not driven it in S6 yet - still consider myself an average driver, so turning traction control off to get to S6 is not something I want to do right now.

The blips on downshift sound amazing :inlove:
