Well, after 6 months of contemplating cars, I made a rash decision from a call of the local used BMW dealer. The papers were signed today and I am the proud new owner of a 97 Black on Black 5-speed M3 Coupe. How will I fare against a 2K2 Max? I learned a ton from this forum so thanks everyone for previous discussions. The first mod will be an intake, and I guess there are chips available that actually make a difference. 10-15 HP gain, but to keep it for 100K with that mod may cause problems.

Hope to see some of you at a stoplight so we can each write in our respective forums what happened.

 

Happy Driving!!!


ADMAN

 

yea good luck with your new bimmer and happy modding

 

when some Bimmer dudes talk isht, defend the Max!

 

Good Luck!!

 

best of luck, enjoy the m3!!!

 

Ey man, have a lot of fun with the M3, I am constantly driving those around, while not driving my 6spd Max, because I work at The BMW Store, and they are a lot of fun to drive. Mod the sh*t out of it, and have fun. Good luck!!

 

I will defend the MAX, especially on the BMW forum. The Max still has to be one of the fastest FWD cars around, especially for the money. Hope to get a chance to get one. It would be close if the launch was not a factor. As for launching, RWD and LSD is hard to beat. Unless there is AWD involved. HMMMMMmm, a potential mod?

 

Good luck with your M..I hope it was a certified pre-owned. If you want an intake let me know, I just sold my 97 328i for a Max and I have some leftovers like a SuperSprint exhaust and a Bavarian Autosport Intake with Heatshield. I also have Millie Miglian rims and Potenza RE730 tires off my 3 series. All of this stuff should fit you fine..

 

good for u man..... u'll have fun......

 

Congrats on the M3. Happy trails, happy driving, and happy modding!

 

you used us!!! j/k

have fun with the M3.....esp on the twisties.

 

AudioMan nice choice of car. Have Fun. I myself will be leaving the maxima community as well after winter comes through. Looking at G35 or X-Type, Jetta VR6, IS300, or some car in that class... Maybe Acura TL Type S
