Does talking about these cars inspire the urge to buy one ? - Page 4 - 6SpeedOnline

So this M3 is the result of your earlier search for 'something a bit smaller' six months ago ? Nope .. I don't recall ever searching for a smaller car . all my cars are small cars. I already have had an M3 for the last three years . I could have kept it as it ran perfectly but with 36K miles , 1 year of warranty left , and the next gen M3 a few years away .. I had doubts to let the car go over 50K miles with no warranty in the next two years . A new car had no doubts . It also has some upgrades . I am ok with the price to swap so all i have to do now is wait for the new car to be built.

The next generation M3 will not come out until after the 328 (2013 Model year ) , then the coupe (2014 model year ) , then the vert and m3 (2014 or 2015 ? ). By them my 08 car would have no warranty and well over 60K miles as its a DD .

For me .. it was worth it .
This is what my car will be like minus the DCT (I got 6speed) . I did add the perfornace parts and today included the carbon bits.

That exhaust sounds great - makes me want to replace my '08 M3 that I thoroughly enjoy as you did. i drive a lot - 44K mi so far - and never tire from the 6sp. Enjoy the soon to be new M3.
