LOL! That's an eye for detail.
I only wish the m5 had a similar option.

Oh, I don't miss a thing Mr. Scott.

Golf clubs + cooler = M5 + 100 octane.

Is that an Infiniti M?

Yes. The infiniti is my wife's primary. It's an M35 sport with tech/journey. It's an awesome car!

I think so too.

I'm considering the Infiniti M or an M3 this year. i know they are in different leagues, but I have a 10 year old, so the 4-doors are almost necessary. But my GF has a G35 sedan that would be complimented nicely by the M3.

tough call there. They are so different. Both do a great job at addressing what they're designed to, but they really don't compare b/c the Infiniti M is so much 'nicer' while the BMW M3 is a much better performer.

Taking care of your luxury wants in the Infiniti is does perfectly. I truly enjoy being in that car.

Yes. Once it's broken in, and definitely will.

Does your M3 have the same SMG as the M5? I know the M5 is SMG III, but I'm not sure if it and the M6 are the only cars with this generation SMG or if the later M3's have it.

all the M3's are SMGII (cept for the early ones in Europe which were SMGI).

as a previous SMGII owner, I can say with full confidence that SMGIII is much improved in terms of smoothness. Even II didn't bother me though. I think people that complain about these things are just looking for something to complain about and should have bought an E-class instead.

Steve is right, my M3 has SMGII. I really like the system and it works fine in S6, its just clear to me that it wears the pad quicker when used so aggressively. For all but the most aggressive driving S5 is great.

I would definetly like to try the M5. My only complaint at all with SMG is that the launch or engagement in 1st is like a light switch, either on or off. BMW is currently working on a double clutch setup like DSG that should be available in a year or so. I would love to have that application in a new E90 M3.

I do love Interlagos though, I get frequent compliments on the color.

Love the car

A little lowering would help and some nice 5 spoke wheels to make the sexy brakes more visible would be nice.

Great car man
