I know it's an almost ridiculous indulgence but I have to say I totally love this car! As time goes on, I think it just gets better and better. Came up behind a Z06 on the M4 / M25 slip road (which must have had open pipes or something because it totally drowned out the noise of anything else) and expected to be blown into the reeds but no, my car just squatted and went, love it! Right now I can't even think of a car that I'd rather have - I think I've found "all the car I'll ever need".

Just want to ask other existing owners if several months on they still think it's awesome or has familiarity dulled your experience?biggrin

Heard a strange sound in Sainsburys carpark today and there it was, an Interlagos Blue E92 M3 being very tentatively backed out of a space by a mum with little one in the back.

She looked so nervous as she struggled with the steering wheel and then almost silently tickled the car away from me without even a blip of the throttle.

She really should have handed the keys to me and taken my old E36 as it would have made her happier.

Maybe she had not told her husband that she had taken it out.

I FULLY understand you. This car is extraordinary. I had to take some track days to fully understand the way it should used but now Waouww. what a grip, what a playable rear axe, what a precision. Noise is refined but so nice. ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY

err thanks for that... you can stick with your playstation, i will stick with my e92, there is no need for bitterness here.
The M3 is faster round the track than an r8, check the EVO (might be CAR) track times... you will see.

Nope, its definitely evo. I remember being really surprised that it's quicker given all the w@nking that was done over the R8's laptime when it first came out. R8 still faster round TG's track though.

Certainly is Evo time round Bedford Autodrome's west circuit - 1.26.2 M3 saloon Vs 1.26.5 for the R8 and I'd expect the Coupe to be quicker round a track too! What a stunning car though!

The Cayman s is a fantastic car don't get me wrong,I just fancied a change after 3 years. Tried a 997 with the new DKG box and hated it, God knows what Porsche were thinking with those stupid buttons so if you are thinking of getting a Cayman, get a manual. Any how tried the M3 and loved it simple as that.

You'll love it more as time goes on - I certainly do.
