Andy_Muxlow Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Hi Buddy, What is the E90 M3 like to live with as I have been considering a swap in the future to this V8 powered car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's AWESOME, seriously. Accept it's going to be costly to run and own but just enjoy it because it will make you smile and enjoy every time you start the car and drive! the fuel tanks are smaller than the 350z's and it is worse on fuel, so it seems even worse than what it is, if you know what I mean... I had a DCT gbox before and although it's a fantastic gearbox and insanely quick, it makes you feel distant from the driving experience and that's what it is all about... So no doubt for me, manual with EDC and any other extras are a bonus. PM me if you want a chat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeceybeaney Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 This is quite the machine... anyone with a 350z looking for an upgrade, but don't want anything too electric and modern... I highly recommend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my mums which she uses a couple of times a week... More than happy to use that, whenever she isn't, to keep the miles off the M3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeceybeaney Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 M3 might have to go quicker than first planned... possibility for a house purchase is around the corner and I think the sensible side of me is telling me to get on the ladder! Hopefully it doesn't come to selling, the car is gorgeous and I love it, but everything is for sale at the right price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee370Z Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I thought mine didn't last me long at 10 months/10k miles! I hope you can hang onto it. My old one(also manual with EDC). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeceybeaney Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Potentially up for swapping the M3 with (cash my way) for another Z if a nice clean, low mileage one pops up! Not only do I get another zed but some spare cash to please the missus to make it look like I’m making an effort... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeceybeaney Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Can't bring myself to give it up yet... now running a primary decat and making some awesome noises, even by zed standards The 62l tank isn't great and returning 230 miles for about £75 is getting a bit tiring lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyZ Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Very nice - I've always liked the E92. Another car that will go in my large garage if I ever make my millions... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee370Z Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Great news that you are keeping it and I bet it sounds awesome with the decat! The small tank and range used to hurt me when I had mine too...the petrol station attendant becomes your best friend for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeceybeaney Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Thanks chaps, it's a great car, certainly will take some topping! Another zed is still in the back of my mind... maybe one day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 My old mate had one with a Meisterschaft GTC and Decat. Sounded crazy. Very loud cold start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
