Congratulations!

The car will light them up stock trim

Grab a good set of tires call it a day 🦅

I went with the 650GC over the M6 GC simply because the cabin of the M6 was so coffin like - dark and small. It needs a sunroof (yea, no discussions here about how you don't want that extra weight up top on a 4,500lb car )

congrats, greys are my favorite

Thanks everyone!! I am loving it and have no regrets at all. And I do feel I have more room inside the M3. At least for my kids. Love the handling of the M3. After some pure turbos and a few more mods it's the perfect daily driver 😆

Nice spec. Looks great OP

Just wanted to report back. A little over 2 weeks of driving it and I gotta say I have no regrets coming out of the M6 Gran Coupe to the M3. Last week I added a DME tune and it is night and day difference. I am loving it. RYFT is making a full exhaust system and I will add that as soon as its released in 6 weeks. I will drive it a few weeks and then it will be time for Pure Stage 2 turbos, heat exchanger, intercoooler, intake and fuel system upgrade. Good daily.

Nice! I was also considering an M6 Gran Coupe before I ended up with my F80.. The M3 just fits car seats much better than the M6, more rear head room and leg room..

I have 3 kids and they all felt the same! More room for them. And more fun for me to drive when they aren't in the car lol.

Well fellas. I found the Gen 2 R8 I want. So I just threw the M3 up for sale.

I'm busting chops 😆

Post on the R8 when you snag one up...

I wanna to start a thread like this...

"It's been real"

Selling the M3 and picking up a 2021 F90 in Forest Green brown leather.

Yes; an 80's sought after combo if you lived in NYC💰

nice, congrats on the new ride. prob feels a lot smaller!

Gorgeous spec! MG over SO is fantastic.

Definitely needs a tune, some good Michelin rubber (if you're doing summer/snows), and an exhaust. Then it's perfect!

Also, check out the crank hub discussion in the engine/exhaust subforum, if you aren't already familiar with it, particularly if you're going to run a tune. Just good to know going into it. Some good info and insight there.

Decided to keep the M3 and daily it :-) Gladiator will be going next week. Thanks guys
