New to P Cars
Hello everyone . I just recently purchased my first P car. 09 C2 carrera white. My previous car was e46 m3 which i had a lot of fun. I still miss it I have one question regarding P cars. To be honest, with my m3, i always drove it like i stole it . I pretty much floored it all the time and really pushed the engine on my m3. I had lot of fun with my m3. My question is can i do that with my new carrera? Are Carreras not meant to be driven like i stole it? Will my engine eventually blow up? My m3 didn't even break a sweat. I had no problems whatsoever with my m3 even though i really pushed the car everyday. Is my new Carrera meant to be driven like a normal car and not push rev over 5k everytime? thanks

Actually, I wouldn't drive it like you stole it. I would drive it as if it is your buddy's car, but your buddy just slept with your wife.

Enjoy that car, you will love it.

Welcome to the PCar club

Take it easy the first couple thousand then drive the hell out of it, make sure the engine is warm before you kick it at least 5-10 min. Congrats and enjoy soon you will not even remember the M3, except when getting in and out..

Beautiful car ! I am going to give one little nit pick modification to ponder . Do you see those amber side markers (phoro below) ? They can be replaced with clear ones which give a clean look --especially on a white car .
