My New Car



I hardly ever post here anymore, usually just come on to sell old stuff I have in my garage

Most of you, at least the older guys should know who I am.. I sold my G35 this summer and ordered this car the middle of July. Took delivery the middle of September!

This car is amazing, I love it and still can't believe I get to drive it every day. Even though it has 100 or so less whp and almost 300 lb/tq less than the G, the G is still no comparison to this. I'm going to do a shoot with a friend here soon, need to get some better pics. But for now here are a few I took after its first wash and after I got my plates (btw the plate is supposed to be RATED M, everyone keeps asking me what does "RAT 3D mean??" ffs..)

The last pic is with my friend GeoBau, who recently retired his G35 Sedan and picked up a 335i Convertible.

Hey, I didn't retire my G -- it's still in the stable.

It's out to stud.

Out of curiosity, Im guessing you had a boosted G since you said the m3 had much less hp and tq, why does that G not compare at all to this m3? What about the m3 makes it so much more superior? Honest question, I've never driven anything newer than an e36 m3 so I wouldn't know.

It just feels so much more refined. I had my G modded to hell and back so it was far from refined, always made noises, etc. but the Germans really know how to make a car. I feel it even takes bumps better than the G and other cars lol.

Feel great, handles great, sounds great, just everything about this car is superior, at least to a stock G. My G had straight line acceleration over the M3 anyday, which is what I miss most but where the M makes up for it in so many other ways.
