A) SMG or manual?

B) coupe or vert?

C)best colors?

I hvae been looking at 02 M3's...........really like the red Convertible with black guts and the white coupe with red guts.

My favorite is the Carbon black with cinamon interior but I don think i will ever own a black car again unless you can convince me that it is just shitty Acura paint, thanks.

I wouldn't care what color it was as long as it wasn't that nasty green... or white. But I'd get a manual coupe.

BoostedM3

A. Manual for sure. IMO, SMG doesnt provide a smooth ride unless you feather the throttle, so you might as well row your own gears.

B. Coupe. How often do you plan to go topless? Vert is heavier also.

C. Black.

jts1207

also on color i like silver, but 2 out of every three M3's are silver with black interior

SiGGy

convertible only comes in SMG in the states.

So that should help you limit things a bit

jts1207

The convertible would be nice in the summer and the red one i saw today was

jts1207

thanks for the info thats why i like Honda/Acura..........no packages, there seem to be numerous options on this car

Beltfed

Not true, 6spd is standard on both coupe and vert......SMG is optional on both.

I went with the 6spd, not to mention most of the engine failures have been on SMG equipped cars. Also the SMG M3 is slightly slower than the 6spd.

The vert is pimp, but its about 300 pounds heavier than the coupe. I went with the coupe, fine for NY weather.

Crazy Bimmer

Beltfed is right. They do make 6-speed convertibles

black on black
techno purple on black
black on cinnamon

silver over black coupe manual with hre's and a bilstein drop would be my ideal m3, dont forget the dinan intake and chip and exhaust

Beltfed

All of that stuff is a big fat waste of money, Dinan is the laughing stock of most BMW forums.

Take it from someone that had over $5k worth of Dinan shit on an Mcoupe.....its overpriced, overrated parts.

darrinb

the dinan chip adds like 20whp dont it

Beltfed

Absolutely positively not, don't go by what those clowns at Dinan say. Most N/A cars don't make 20hp from remapped software.

If Dinan software added 20rwhp, everyone would have it.

darrinb

then what type of performance mods are there for the m3

liquid_x

my choice:

6 speed carbon black/cinnamon coupe

farberstyle

really only suspension i think. the only engine internals dinan messes with are the intake and exhaust. that car is really pushed to the max. you gotta remember that engine is only a 3.2 liter. wish my engine made that kind of power .

darrinb

true, a custom tt kit would be sweet

BoostedM3

Its the best color.

Beltfed

Ugghh, no its not......that color was cool for like 6 months when the car came out in 2001.

Plus LSB looks nothing like your photo, its like Smurf/hospital room blue. The above photo looks like Estoril blue.

Minch00

Man, the White M3 poster earlier is


I'd get White with black interior, or White with red...


Or maybe if I was feeling brave, techno violet w/black.

Linner

Going to have to back ronnie on this one. That blue is the best color, I dunno if you can get it in a convertible though. I havent seen one to date. And beltfed I think those are 2 completely different colors, I might be wrong but I dont think so. Kraziks car is the m3 blue now.

darrinb

estoril blue is way hotter, the smurf blue is gay

Repo1234

I vote for a silver/black 6 speed!!! Or a Black on black 6 spd.

jts1207

what wheels are those?

flipwhip

OHIO...get the hard top

Repo1234

Really nice ones!!!!!



I dont know. I'm thinking BBS?

pimpscls

silver black coupe

rickm

I just bought a Carbon Black with Black interior M3 on Thursday, I would have loved to have gone with the Cinnamon interior though but they had this one on the lot. Even thought this car is awesome, I am in mourning for the ease, comfort features and interior storage that my CL-s had. Hopefully, my 17 year old daughter will let me drive her (my old) CL sometimes!

Chaptorial

Cool deal, glad to see your keeping the CL alive in the family.

Congrats and get some pics up of the M3.

TypeSKid

I'd go black and go with a full AC SCHNITZER set up.


Belty, your right, Dinan SUCKS!

NOVAwhiteTypeS

Estroil blue or msytique blue w/ red /black leather.

and smg is cool but wayyy to jerky.

my other boy just got a lug. seca blue m3 manual and compared to my other friends smg its much smoother
