Goodbye 8400rpm redline, hello 6500rpm redline :(

Goodbye 300 lb/ft, hello 516 lb/ft :)

picking her up tomorrow. proper pics to follow. new rear tyres shortly after that!

The feeling of all that torque squashing you in the seat will be novel for a good length of time!

Going to be quite a change, but as of the new year I will be doing at least 300 motorway miles a week on top of the driving I currently do, which is mostly in central London. So an Auto makes sense. Also fitting a dog in the back of an M3 Coupe is not ideal, so practical estate car will be welcome (in some respects)!

Proper motorway car :D


Is that all the torque that an M3 produces? Not saying it's not a lot but I thought it'd be more than that from a V8

only 4.0L N/A engine, so about par for the course really. its still fine on the motorway, but this will be in a different league, especially just a kickdown away from warp drive!
 
from an E92 m3.

The C63 AMG is nice, but still holding its value obsurdly well. Still none for anything under about 45k :(

Ok, cool. I would have gone with the E61 M5. Why the did you go with the MB?

Had an E60 M5, so as much as loved it, would be the same car save for the boot. I have always fancied something with the 55K engine in as well, so this was a good excuse.

How much are we talking for one of these? I just think with the new "style" MB being very different the round headlight examples will start to look very dated. IMO obviously.
