E90 Project

[brs2120]

Most people questioned my sanity when I traded in my 2014 M6 Gran Coupe for a 2011 E90 M3 (got wifey a brand new X5 diesel in the deal too). Not a single day has gone by when I've regretted this decision.

My son's car seat fits much better into the back of the E90. The drive is more exhilarating and I feel much more connected to the road. To me the E90 M3 has a beautiful and classic silhouette - it looks great from every angle (can't say the same for the M6 - that rear end is ugly).

Obviously the mods are piling up - ESS ECU and Transmission Tune, lowered with KW Sleeve kit, AFE Stage 2 Intake, Akrapovic Exhaust, & custom PUR wheels

It's perfect right now...well until I get that Supercharger installed

Nice setup. The e90 truly is classy with a touch of sleeper status

Not so strange...I went from a 6MT 2013 M5 to my 2008 E90 M3 (and my wife got an Audi SQ5). I agree about the M3 being more connected to the road and having that classic shape. It's much more engaging than the M5/M6 (and harder to get into license-losing speed territory).
