Went to Manhiem for mths and nothing.. went to dealerships and nothing finally found this one out in Cali with one owner and a clean car fax and then he had title issues and it took another 6 weeks to get it straight. So believe me im with you when you say you want the perfect CPO.

Now for inital driving impresions. 1st the M3 gets way more looks then I ever did in my 335. I now feel like the wolf where as before I felt like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The M3 feels superior in every way except I miss the low-end torque my tuned 335 made

The dual clutch is crazy quick, the comp pckg wheels look so nice several people have asked me where I got those "after market rims" I like the CF roof it really stands out on the white. The seats are way softer leather and more plush then the 335. You can spend all day messing with the EDC and the M-drive with so many different driving options. I tend to keep it as docile and smooth as possible in DD driving so far and I have the M button maxed out to the tighest EDC and the quickest shifts so its a dramatic difference when I press it.

I miss the "tune-ability" of the TT 335 but so far little else. The 335 did feel a lot lighter and more nimble but the M3's steering makes you feel like a much better driver than what you really are.

Thanks for the pics. Looks good!!!

I would, but I'm going to be at the track all weekend. You need to sign up one day.

Lol. Funny how Doc and I haven't run into each other before, considering we live a mile apart
Isn't there a NASA event this weekend or is it next weekend?

This weekend. Wish you were coming

My suspension is so fucked. I wish I could, but I don't even want to drive my car on the street. I just don't have time to take it to a shop and be without a car.

I know, I thought about it back in Feb/Mar but figured it'd be too damn hot. Already looked at the one in November but that's my weekend to work

I feel you, bro. Depending whats wrong with it, maybe it will be a nice way to justify upgrading a few parts

Yeah, I hope its not too ridiculously hot out there. Every weekend they schedule ends up being a bad weekend for me. I usually end up having to do a ridiculous amount or miss something to make it.

Coilovers, maybe. But, I just want my shit to be fixed. I've spent so much fucking money on the suspension alone, and it has never been right. It is infuriating. I just want to drive my car in anger. Is that too much to ask?

That kind of stuff is never fun to deal with. Hope it can be sorted out soon, so you can drive it how its meant to be driven

Remember when I bought you the bulbs for the 335, do you still have the box?

Im meeting up with one of the guys on here tonight. He's way into modding. Has had one of the best modded cars on this site. I'll ask him what he recommends.

Right now? Only thing I know for certain is the D/S front coilover jumped a thread. Can't raise or lower the coil, and it feels like shit. The other is a mystery to me. I had the car in the shop when I went to Italy, and when I got back and got the car from my parents, it felt wrong. And, it has deteriorated, since. The steering is loose, and the front suspension is moving all over the place (laterally). It's never felt worse, and it should be feeling better than ever. Time to do something.
