Correction, here is the best M3 ever made.

and BMW let guys under the age of 30 drive it :roll: lol <3
It works like this:

S14> all other BMW motors

It may not be the fastest thing they have put out, but its a little screamer.

I'm sure its more an insurance problem than any thing else, Grayson didn't have a problem letting me test drive an e46 M3 back when I was 24.

Cast iron blocks ftw!

However, I do think this little demon will be pretty cool once it's finished. :twisted:

Pssssssh I just walked in and told them I wanted to drive the new M3 and they tossed me the keys. I must say I was impressed. It would be a fun all around car (track, autox, daily driver). The only thing that sucks is the gas milage it gets.

But the thing that Grayson is putting on is for the Susan G Komen charity. You show up. drive. and BMW donates a dollar for every mile put on the cars. Doesn't cost you a thing and you get to cruise around in a BMW for a little bit. You go from the dealership to pellissippi pkwy, down westland and northshore and back. At least thats what it was last year. They hand you a map and keep track of how many miles you put on the car.

Basically you can drive a car and save tata's at the same time.

You need to bring it out to Sunday's event and let me have a crack at it in a fun run. I'll trade you the 'marro. :lol:

The e90 is the only body style M3 I haven't driven yet and I'd love to see how it works. The only thing I didn't like about the e46 was its lack of low end grunt.

I'm with James when I say...does life get any better than that?

And also do they have someone ride with you like a sales rep. or something?

Now come on......I can work weekends and a Alpina B7 will be a ultra rare car to drive anyhow. Besides I am curious how fun the M3 is going to be if they let you open it up some...Granted though your car is way faster than my 325ix is already so it might not be that much different for you.

Is this why you have to be 30 to drive an M3?
