and why the fuck do i have to pay gas guzzler tax on car that does the same MPG as my CL?!?!?!?!?!!?!!!!!!

 

Wait, I don't get the left hand clutch comment. You a FOB?

And thats because the CL was rated higher than what most of us get. The M3 just misses the cut-off.

 

i ride sportbikes, so my clutch is in my left hand... wtf is an FOB? u think i got off the boat from the UK or something.... lol

u serious? whats the cutoff for the tax? my car does like 23MPG on the highway all day! pisses me off...

 

Oh, that makes sense.

you can look up the CL and see how high it is rated versus the M3

 

if you have basic knowledge of how to drive a stick you should do fine.. my friend got a 03 M3 and pretty much learned how to drive stick w/ it.. although he made the car jerk quite a bit when he first got it he got the hang of it pretty quick

 

get Audi A4 Cabriolet, you dont need to go fast to grab babes

 

good choice, you will luv the coupe

you might want to learn to drive manual on a friend's car first. something just doesnt sound right about learning to drive manual on a brand new M3.

 

dood i had to learn stick on the 330ci, not an easy car to learn on. Im sure the M3 is worse but it can be done. My advice is just not give up, i was close to.

You dont like SMG though?

I might have missed it but what color options did you do with?

Oh and have fun with the wait, it drove me nuts for the 330. But its kinda cool that you can track it and its nice knowing they are building a car JUST for you.

oh and congrats you lucky bitch!

 

SMG

Nothing like a real manual.

And my offer stands to learn on my BMW. Its not easy either so going to the M3 shouldn't be a big deal. I would be afraid learning on a new M3 though

 

i was torn between silver grey and white because i want the imola red interior, but i finally decided on the silver grey. i like the mystic blue alot, but i dont like silver or black as the interior.... i know i'm gonna regret not getting the blue....

 

naw Silver grey with imola is hot.

 

yuppie, i just learned to drive stick on a 05 m3.

first timne out i was getting off the clutch to quick and stalling it, but 2nd time out i got the hang of it pretty good

i still have alot to learn i have only driven it for 20-25 min

 

go with the C6, youll get more pussy. most girls arent going to distinguish the M3 from a 330Ci anyways

 

 

wtf?!

 

 

damn really? i think i'm gonna end up learning on a newer civic SI.... or my brothers' faggy civic hybrid.... i dont wanna take the chance of fuckin up my car when i first get it...

if you havent noticed i'm very accident prone.... i closed off 2004 with 4 reportable accidents....

 

Who cares what a filthy whore thinks.........a chick who fucks you because of your car? Weak.

And if you buy a car based on what a chick might think of it, that's even worse.


Anyway, don't get SG/Imola........because that's what I have.

 

Redneck’s might drive the older 70’s Vette’s and they’ll most likely be painted several different colors, but I don’t think you’ll find too many of them driving a 50,000 dollar C6.
I'm not 50 yet, but I can see myself getting one in a year or two.

But NOT this one...

 

What kind of problems?
I’ve been researching the C6 and I haven’t heard of any major systemic problem.
Sure, a few dead clutches, mysterious electrical problems and dead batteries, but nothing that I’ve seen over and over again.

 

wooooo weeeeee dat rit dere one bonafide automobile

 

Yuppie…. I can’t believe you’re getting an M3 and don’t know how to drive stick.
Didn’t the dealer think this was a bit odd?

 

I see that everyday down here.

 

no way! i really had no idea... lol... dont think i'm biting off u! it is a hot combo tho.

can i see some pics of your car??? inside and out... its kinda hard to get ahold of the sg to begin with....

what options do u have?

 

lol... my salesperson started laughing when i told her. i was almost offended until she offered to teach me the basics of how to drive a manual tranny. she said she'd show me on a pre-owned 3-series....

my dad had to test drive the M for me

 

yeah the SMG is a piece of crap at this time in BMW quest to build a "stick" with no clutch pedal. I get Car and Driver and Motor Trend both tested the new Z4 3.0 with a SMG and they were bitching about what a POS that SMG was. they said they'd take a regular clutch pedal over that anyday of the week.
I'd say in 5 years the SMG might be perfected but at this time it's a turd.

now as far as learning to drive stick on a M3. that's bad news. . I was lucky my dad had an old beater 88 Civic DX. He didn't care too much if I thrashed the clutch a little.(which i did ) but my sister tried to learn on a 94 Mustang GT (collectors edition with leather and tons of goodies), she got so pissed she got out of the car slammed the door and said i'm never driving this damn car or any stick again.(and she hasn't) IMO once you've mastered the lower horsepower cars it's easier to move up and take on the higher hp sticks. if you start off with something in the 300-400 hp range like a M3 or CTS-V or last gen Z06 it's tough to start out on.

 

You are going to have this as your DD in the winter also? I hope not, because driving a M3 in the snow would be rediculously stupid.

I wish ya luck in learning how to drive it. Dont go bragging or racing until you can drive it sufficiently, because all the kids will claim they beat a M3.

 

yeah some kid in a rusted out Escort will brag how he beat a new M3 with his beast

 

gotta learn one way or the other, better on a vehicle you dont own then a spanking new M3

 

Sweet, M3 Silver w/ Red int Coupe. Thats gonna be niiiiice.


Hey what is b2b anyway?

 

um... i haven't decided just yet. for now, i'm keeping the CL even after i take delivery of the M, so the CL may just be my winter car. my mom needs a car tho, she's still using my old '90 Accord so i might just give her my CL as she would never buy a car unless her current car died. so if i hand my CL down to her, then i'll just throw some snows on the M. a couple guys on the m3 forums drive their m's year round putting the snow's on in the winter... i'm sure it'll still drive like crap, but at least an improvement over the stock tires...

i know what u mean about keeping my cool down until i learn how to drive stick. i already see myself going from 2nd to 5th by mistake during a race.
either way, i'm trying to not drive like a dick anymore as it is...

 

just my new job. still sales, just on a much larger scale, on a national level. i'm totally underqualified for the position.

 

id go with the coupe for sure.... without question. convertibles are ugly when the top is up, unless your rockin a hardtop. change it backkkkkkk

 

yuppie,
if i was you go learn stick on one of the bimmers they got there, prolly be closest u can get to a m3

 

Accidentally shifting from 2nd to 5th isn’t too much of a problem.
Accidentally DOWN-SHIFTING from 5th to 2nd…now there’s the problem you don’t want to have.

 

was your saleswoman hot?

 

...

 

I would hate to see how much all new valves for that car would cost.

 

Unless they can prove you caused the fault, the cost will still come out of BMW's pocket due to warranty though.
