What's Your favorite thing about your ///M

Just want to open a thread to lay it all down. What is the best thing about your ///M to you. Also what would you change. The best thing about my ///M to me is that sound. There is truly no replacement for the S65 roar, every time on start up you just get chills just waiting for her to warm up. Truly a marvel, BMW shouldn't of been so quick to get away from this platform

The sound is intoxicating, no question, but for me the best part is the way it handles for a four passenger car. I just love driving it everywhere.

Intoxicating sound (especially at upper RPM's), DCT (extremely fast smooth shifts via paddles or slap stick), hardtop (best of both worlds), handling...in a word BALANCE. This is the best balanced sports car I've owned.

I have had cars that have much more power, but don't handle as well... goes fast, but brakes are lacking... handles well, but rides like a bucking bronco... looks good, but interior stinks... you get the point. Love my M!

Interior leather smell, the stand from the back, the grouling sound of a V8 at 6,000 rpms and the funny look of a Mustang driver staring at the M3!!!!

love the sound of the engine, the quick shifts of the DCT trans, the handling and connection to the road! I like the stiffness of the suspension. Brakes are ok. EDC is nice but wish it had more settings so you could fine tune it. Interior I like, love the seats, cup holders suck!!

Cold start sound. Wish it sounded like that at a stop light. Sounds from the exhaust. Throttle response. The leather over my old E90. Linear power band. Flared fenders so I can put big tires on it to actually get grip without going to AWD. Basically, the fact it's an M3!

The sound of the cold start. That's the signature of a super car during warm up.

The ///M is by far the best car ever made.

Since I owned alot of new highpowered car's, I learned to appreciate what BMW here actually accomplished!

What I love?
It's everything..sporty seat's without beeing uncomfortable.
Suspension...what a great suspension.
Engine sound, coldstart/ under load...and drivetrain ( manual )
With the manual ( god I love it beeing an manual ) you feel much more connected to the car, that's at least how I feel about it.
You drive it and don't have the feeling you need to mod anything, it is just perfect.
Beeing able to connect the newest iphone with the car.
I love the exterrior...really love it along with the carbone roof.
I love the cup holder's, love the instrument cluster...love these mirror's...
Love the drilled rotor's and the brake's...love the stock OEM tip's.
Love the key...key also look's great.
Love the 19 inch stock 220's...
Love the steering wheel...nice and thick..
Now why do I love all these thing's...because it's perfect and as I said before:
I learned to appreciate, what make's a good sport's coupé and what not.
There's nothing really I hate about this car, really nothing oh wait the seatbelt restractor bracket tend's to buzz when your at 150mp/h. Well it's nothing I would say I hate, It's a cool life saver that remind's me that I'm to fast he,he,he.

Love owning in an ///M...LOVE it!!!!

As many have said, the combination of getting so many things right is what always stands out in my mind when I think about my M3 and why I think the package is so much more than the sum of the parts. If I did have to pick just one specific aspect of the car, it has the be the engine - the sound, the linear power delivery, the sound, the high redline, the sound, the responsiveness, and...the sound!!!

Agree, to me simply not worth having a too loud exhaust forcing you to delete that "signum" of the M! And once that sound has chill down, you know it was only the start of the joy...

Overall balance. I preferred the sound of my C63 (on long tube headers).
