Love the tranny so far. It shifts so smoothly and quick.

I plan to drive it during winter with snow tires. If my chipped 335i with all the low end torque can do it, then i dont see why the M3 cant. I'll just most likely take off the front lip.

I came to realize that I dont keep cars long enough to baby them.

Beautiful car and perfect color combo! So, based on recent history, you'll be ready for a change by Turkey Day. As luck would have it, that's about the time I'm looking to make a purchase!

Was actually great with snow tires. Traction control kept everything in line with ease. Same with the 328i which i drove tons in the snow. Well, granted most of the roads were plowed fairly quickly.

I had the 335 coupe and a 328 sedan. The sedan just ended up being more comfortable for me for daily use. Plus i do use the rear seats often for work. Which is why the NSX was hardly driven. I do miss it though.

I almost feel like the 328 + NSX = M3. I get all the comfort of the 328 but with the performance of the NSX.

Justifying FTW!!
Is the coupe really getting a facelift already? Thats surprising because they never did the e46 facelift on the m3's but only on the coupe's.

My next car will defly be a Estoril M3 coupe.

^ True. No one knows for sure yet.

E46 M3 didnt get a facelift but it did get LED tails mid-cycle. Rumor is the same will happen with the 2010 M3 coupe. Im sure they will tweak some other smaller things or maybe not.

Yea im sure a minor tweak but nothing along the lines of the drastic rear end facelift of the e90s. Great pick up though and I'm glad you have the newer style taillights as they look 1000000x times better.

I don't think you will ever be able to understand how jealous I am. I love the car man! Great color! It is my second favorite, white being first. Congratz!

Wow I'm not sure how I missed this thread when it was originally posted, but I'm glad I checked it out now! You have a downright gorgeous car! Thanks for posting the pictures of delivery and such over in Germany. That place looks amazing. The odometer reading perfect 0 was very very cool.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what else you have in store for it! The CF diffuser is hawt.

Out of curiosity, do you have any dislikes about the car so far? I know it's hard to imagine not being happy with a M3, but there may be something!
