E92 BMW M3 - Mmmm...she's a dream!

Sahil · 6th December 2007, 10:56

Yellow plates?

kbk_75 · 6th December 2007, 16:27

@ Payam: Maybe it's just the camera angle. It is a bit tight, but it's really not THAT tight. In any case, what are front and rear park sensors for?!

@ Sahil: No dude, CRTM. Gonna try and stretch the final reg to Jan.

KBK...Dude. You are not just living but driving my dream

Handle her with care man .. haha!

Bu the way, I read all of those 9 pages in one go and that too while at work! Can't help its an M3 after all and its in India and its owned by one of us - a very proud BHPian that is!

Does the M3 have separate fog lamps ?

Nikhilb2008 · 21st December 2007, 23:28

It doesnt have fog lamps IIRC.

kbk_75 · 21st December 2007, 23:43

Nope, no fog lamps in front, only at the rear.

You upgraded from a Mondeo/Getz to possibly one of the best driver's cars around? How did you do it? Where can I apply?

kbk_75 · 22nd December 2007, 00:05

Haha! Yeah it is a HUGE step-up. I can honestly say that my Getz feels ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY gutless to me now. I know there's no point even beginning to compare the cars, but after you drive an M3 for ten - twelve days straight and then drive a Getz, you have a HUGE adjustment problem!

Anyway, update on the car: She's run a little over 800 Kms now and has just gone-in for her first service! The CBS info said it was time to change the oil. I guess all the starting and stopping the car (before I bought it) didn't do the oil-change interval any good.

aniguchisan · 22nd December 2007, 00:09

Dude, you need just one sticker for your Getz, and stick it on your rear window: 'My other car's an M3'

danlalan · 22nd December 2007, 00:19

Absolute Stunner. I didnt rave n rant so much about the M5 when i saw it but this is even more stunning than that.

So when do we get to see her in flesh..??

kbk_75 · 22nd December 2007, 00:41

Yes, I feel that the E92 is the best looking of the current gen. BMWs. See her in the flesh...not sure...keep an eye out I guess!

BUSA · 22nd December 2007, 01:13

Congrats KBK, a fantastic machine indeed.

Sahil · 25th December 2007, 14:41
