Bought an old BMW M3, filled with regret...

I hope my subframe is cracked come the summer. Hoping for an m235i or m3/m4 loaner while they sort that. Maybe I'm dreaming though...

I hope they give you a 114d.

mrk · 4 Mar 2015 at 20:08

I hope not.

So yesterday I met up with Saul Goodman I mean Voxination

D) for tea, catch-up and pics. Side by side the E92 is a margin bigger in all directions. Amazing how much heavier my doors are - Don't quite realise how much until you open get in and out of each right after the other.

Shame it was mostly raining, would have had the roof down otherwise.

Anyway, enough words.

Who was cupping who?

Did balls touch

I think your bulge is bigger than my bulge

Putting it up against the lines of the later M3 makes the roof look like it come out of the Cavalier Convertible design school.

mrk · 30 Mar 2015 at 19:38

Given how old the roof design is, it's remarkably well put together tbh.

I would go mental if I had a car like that E92 and someone wrote in the dirt on it as they have on that!!! Doesn't take much to knacker up paint!

However, both very smart motors

T0pPredator · 31 Mar 2015 at 09:17

They look great together. But which one sounds the best?

Naturally I would say the E46 M3 sounds better out of the two, but I do genuinely think the unique race-car like sound is the more ear pleasing, especially from inside the cabin! We will have to see at the RR soon which sounds best when not inside the cabin

Janesy B · 31 Mar 2015 at 10:28

E46 sounds like a bin full of angry bees. Prefer the V8.

mrk · 31 Mar 2015 at 10:31

I've heard ones that do sound a lot like bees but mine doesn't sound like those! It's pretty meaty/throaty. You shall see :cool:

Edit*
Maybe from the outside though?

Tom|Nbk · 31 Mar 2015 at 11:49

Oh come on the V8 sounds better

panthro · 31 Mar 2015 at 12:23

Having owned an E46 and an E92, the E46 sounds better to me when outside the car, but as soon as you put an after market exhaust on the E92 it sounds insane!

I still prefer the S54 over the S65.

Well technically yeah as it's a V8 but I prefer the more characterful S54 and exhaust combination, there isn't another car that sounds the same

.

The S54 with an aftermarket exhaust though, arguably more so imo.

Yes, the e92 sounds insane but imo the S54 just has something "special" about it's note.

Nice V8 sound? You need a 16litre diesel!

pepsilol · 31 Mar 2015 at 13:17

Sounds a bit **** if I'm being honest here. Sounds unnatural if that makes sense.
