Showing off my new F80 (M3)
UPDATE. Much better pics below:
I've had a lot of cars over the years and usually show them off here (stil have an AP2)...
Most recently i picked up an E92 m3 and really enjoyed it.
When i heard about the F80 / specs etc i really wanted one... so i was lucky enough to get an early allocation.
I've had the car for about 1200 miles and really, really love it.
First impressions? Its fast. Really fast. The TQ curve just hits you in the face and doesnt stop. its only supposed to have 10hp more than my E92, but early dyno's show it has around 60-70hp more (peak) and pretty much 100+ at any other point in the power band (since the E92 only hits peak at max rpm).
It does feel more nimble as well (being lighter, no bushings etc).
Specs:
AW (white)
SO (orange-ish red) interior.
HK sound
Silver 19s
Manual
Adaptive Suspension.
Got you guys some better pics:

DAMN that looks delicious. If a car's ever got dat ass...
I keep hearing people saying how quick the car is, and it's validated at last (not that I didn't believe it lolz) with some of its competitors (albeit older generation). Quite a few F chassis M5/6 owners reported the M3/4 feeling similar seat of the pants wise.
Below are a few vids of a manual M3 taking down a stock RS5 and even a tuned / catless C63 on the straight section Pocono Raceway, rolling start.

See C63 vid below (can't post more than 2 vids apparently)

Most impressive IMO, vs. C63 with tune and catless exhaust

Edit: just googled and found out that Pocono Raceway is almost 2,000 ft. above sea level, not sure how much that held back the n/a cars, but either way the M3/4 are pretty damn quick in stock form.

Compared to my E92 it has more room. Not sure about an E90 though... word on the forum is there is about 2 extra inches.
