If you really feel like the Man, take out the ABS, airbags, radio, navigation, and Xenon/Led headlights while you are at it. heck, just go buy a sports car from 1970s and call it a day.

I basically submitted an order for an identical build but may add the carbon fiber rear diffuser and possibly the mirror caps. I am also adding the carbon fiber gear shifter for the DCT transmission (outgoing car was a 6MT). I'm waiting for a build number but I get the next allocation when it come up, probably end of the month with delivery by spring. When I get the car I'll post my thoughts comparing it to my previous car. Mind you I'm not a track guy, I use this as my summer/warm weather drive to work car which consists of about 2 to 4 hours in the car per day driving on twisty back roads so for me what matters is 60mph and less. I can't wait!!!

Very nice you will enjoy it a lot, i would recommend you get the MPE exhaust as well i wont lie its pricey however it really bumps up the noise and crackles its very good, of course other exhausts out there are better however with the MPE you keep the car unmodified for insurance purposes at least.

I ended up going with a 2016 M3 instead. Figured wouldn't mind the back doors/seats. Plus fell in love with the Yas Marina Blue colour.

I loved my '09 E90 DCT but it was difficult to enjoy legally; found it overwhelmed the road. Low torque made it necessary to wind the beautiful V8 up to feel the car truly breath. 30 mph went to 100 mph in a moment. It was also the problem with the car as a high mileage daily driver.
Ordered the M2 with a hope that the engine and chassis is more accessible within the reasonable limits of the ordinary road. Updated electronics are a plus..along with the choice of the 6MT. The DCT has definitely developed to out perform the manual transmission but it lacks the intrinsic soul of The 6MT. Reasonably priced is a bonus!! |

For what it's worth, I have an e92 and have driven an M2.
I think the M3 is a better car for enjoying the drive, but the M2 is a better track car. The M3 is more special for its high-revving engine and better steering feel IMHO. I'd love to have both!

Not exactly this one, but, starting at 53,900, why not? |

I have an E92 328 w/ the M2. Totally different from your M3 , but when I get in the 328 I love how raw the steering is. I feel like the E92 has a better turning radius than the M2 as well. I miss the E92 cupholders btw.
