I got back to Texas after spending a month in Georgia visiting home and friends after I lost my job. I took my 128i because the M3 gets about 18 mpg on the highway and eats $400 tires and I didn’t want to put all the miles on it. After spending a month and 3500 miles in the 1, I forgot how good of a car the M3 actually is, I really missed it. The good news is that the M3 is completely paid off, so I’m going to keep it, the 1 I think I might get rid of and then get a second car again when I get another job. Picture is my actual car.

Everytime I get back after having a terrible rental car I hug my E92 M3 in the parking lot.

Brother-in-law has a 1 series 6M for commuting - loves it.

That’s awesome. Is yours a 4 Door? The e9x M3 with 4 doors and a manual is actually the only M3 I’ve ever really lusted after.

The picture is my actual car, and of course it’s a 6 speed

You forget how great they are until you have to drive something terrible.

Visited my sister in Savannah and she got in my 128i and was like I’m surprised it’s not a manual, that’s how I know I messed up on that one.

Eh, I stopped judging people by their transmissions long ago. I think the real reason my brother-in-law got a 6M was so his kids couldn’t borrow the car.

No, I know my car is great...but I just appreciate it even more after having to drive a Kia Soul for 2 weeks.

That’s a better way of putting it. I can only imagine having to suffer with a Kia Soul for that long.

You have the same color M3 as me, but I have the sports package and different wheels as well as the Carbon fiber roof and grille.

I really wanted a white one, but I had a hard time finding a 2011 sedan with a stick, idrive, and leather. So this one came on the market and after 2 months of searching I was like I could live with that. I’ve really come to like the space gray metallic. I put black kindeys on it, I was going to get so black style 359s for it, but that hasn’t happened yet, I really like the wheels that came with the competition package, and sadly the carbon fiber roof wasn’t an option on the sedan.
