I am now the very proud owner of a 2003 M3 coupe in carbon black with grey leather etc but no sat nav as i have had my alpine system fitted into this at the dealers and i own a tomtom go unit that i think is ace and far easier than my mates bmw sat nav.

problem i have is do they feel less refined than say the e46 2.5 coupe sport as i feel it seems a little raw compared. but i have driven 2 different M3s and they both felt the same.also a cab but this felt far worse. or am i just being stupid .

any little things i should know about on the M as its the first one ive had. hey there bloody quick to a ton.

Congrats.

Less refined=M power experience. Different animals.

Any little things? Check its had the necessary recall engine works and software upgrades done if it needed them ( think this affected 01 and 02 models but always worth a check).

yes praktisk its a manual but to be honest i wish i had tested a M3 smg .and i do remember the thread m8 and i still rate the smg-ssg as its very practical in traffic etc.

pics will follow soon .   but ive only had it half a day but ime lovin it .

read the posts on recalls and was told its ok and anything needed is done .
mine also has the 19" wheels ,looks wow , driven on the 18" and found no difference in ride .
just a little crazy.

Lucky git, maybe I'll be able to afford an E46 M3 one day, if my 6 numbers come up!.

I guess I'll just have to live with my E36 with half a Maclaren lump between the front wheels

M = Money 3 = 3 x as much....

..of course it seems a little raw!  In fact, in my view it could still be a little more raw (think 911 GT3).

I dont understand "raw" please elaborate.

Absolutely no problems with mine at all and that is a cab...as is the wifes.

Just had rod bearing recall done and put in a 318i Tourer as a loan vehicle.Like driving a tank with a lawnmower engine in comparison.

In time I am sure you will come to appreciate the joys of thr(sorry)driving it
