Yeah, I'm more leaning towards Space Gray considering that there is a lot more of Alpine white E92 M3 being sold.

Have you checked out TMS with their +40whp package?? A bit of $$$$, but well worth it especially for a NA car!

I love that M3! I think I'd get the Sedan though. Why? I don't know lol

Its win, win! That 135i is nice, but why have both? They both are very similar cars.

I dunno man. I'd rock both cars, but I know I would never be able to resist the modding potential of the 135i. I would sell the M3, pick up a low mileage/modded IX, and put the leftover into the 135i (PSS10 coilovers, sway bars, equal size wheel tires, JB3 software, Riss Racing full exhaust and intake). That'd get you two very fun track toys (both faster in a straight line and around a track than the M3) plus you'd have left over cash to spare for maybe a cheapo daily driver.

Not knocking your M3, just feel they are a bit pricey for the performance that you get. Cheers .

BMW's maintnance schedule is def. a joke. They say 15k oil change intervals which i could not believe.

10K oil changes with Audi. Although, will all these cars, doesn't the onboard computer monitor the oil? So if you're driving harder, the service indicator will come up before the recommended change interval?

Anyway, congrats on the new M3, I think the coupe looks awesome! Not so crazy about the sedan.

I felt as though the 135 and the 335 are very similar and thought that the M would be somewhat different.

Right now iam just trying to get away from the modding bug. It is pretty nice to drive 10 minutes away to the dealer to get something fixed if need be.
