Just A Plain White 6-speed Civic Sedan
Waddup lads, I'm swagon and I wrote a short-ish story. I remember reading the press release for the M3/4 back in December 2014 while on the way the dealership to pick up an E82 135i, wishing that one day in the future, I'd love to drive an M3. I have been active on this part of Bimmerpost ever since, lurking and spamming this place out of sheer envy... In the meantime, the search for a new sensible daily driver has begun. The contenders were ranging from diesel 3 Series wagons to a 440i GC. Early stages of the process pictured below: And well, last month - after a year of scrolling through classifieds and test drives - dad and I took that aforementioned 135i on a thousand-mile round trip to check out a CPO 2016 F80 M3 sight unseen. Drove it home the next day. To hell with a sensible daily, right? Anyway, here she is. Alpine White, Carbonstructure Cloth, El Manuél. As for my own unprofessional impressions, it is - to my surprise - a bit stiff around town even on the stock 18" wheels and passive suspension. Thought the 135i on KW's was already stiff. BTW, my ears are constantly bleeding because of the awful ASD noise and my ego takes a hit with every automatic rev-match, but otherwise, so far so good to say the least (aka I love it). Let's hope it stays that way after the warranty expires. Would have loved imola red w/ white leather, but in the end, there's just something about a stripper that tickles my pickle... ______________________________________ You da real MVP if you made it to the end. Thanks for reading!

Congrats! 6-speed and cloth seats are two of my favorite things about the car. Your ego can be soothed by using the sport+ throttle setting, of course. Agree on the ASD; turning that off dramatically improved the experience IMO.

I know 90% of the guys on this forum love to dress their girls up all pretty with diff color combos, options n all, but at the end of the day, Strippers are just the way to go.
I still miss mine DEARLY. Congratulations on the purchase man, You'll love her. She'll treat you like the patronizing gent you are, and always surprise you with a pickle-tickle when you least expect it..

Wanna do this to our civics too? By the way, got this bad boy in. Almost half the price of a new one and after some elbow grease, it's like new again. Now searching for more M Performance interior parts. I don't wanna pay the M tax so it's gonna take some time.

Maybe a boring, but surely a practical mod: installed the oem trunk floor net. It's pretty simple to DIY. Locations for the holes are marked on the other side of the floor.

Enjoy it my fellow 1addict!
Not sure if I already knew or not but I am glad you picked up the F80 M3! Life has been really busy with me so I haven't been going on the forums in a while. I'll pm you sometime, would love to hear your impressions after the dust has settled.
