Leaving the Z Club to Join the M Club

porshah · 12-30-2011, 06:40 PM

So I pulled the trigger on this beauty today. Picking it up tomorrow. 2008 E93 with 25K Miles.

Stay tuned for some good parts for sale from the Z4.

Sorry for the crappy picture.

Sweet ride. Seems like a handful of guys are going that route, z4 to newer m3. Post better quality pictures. Doing any mods??

porshah · 12-30-2011, 06:57 PM

Will post better pics. Looking at Exhaust options. Not sure if I want M Performance or other aftermarket.

gcochard · 12-30-2011, 07:16 PM

I'm in both clubs

dubsesd · 12-30-2011, 07:35 PM

1! Best of both worlds!

Love the new V8 engine in that M3, though. Have fun!

porshah · 12-31-2011, 08:38 PM

Some better shots.

Wife and Son approve!

Congrats. Although I bought a M3 3-4 weeks ago it may be on its way back to a dealer. I am not happy with it. The looks I just cannot get through. I thought it would grow on me like the E46 M3 did but it hasn't. So its time to get rid of it. I bought a bunch of items that I am going to use on my new Z4M..even looking at the new Lotus Evora.

Sorry to sound negative but I am so not happy with it. I wanted more and the M3 did not satisfy that taste like my modified Z4MC did.
Oh well. We all make mistakes.

You might need to update on your thread, but was it just bc of the looks? OP, congrats!

Wow, that is a shame. Certainly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally love the look of the M3.

Any goodies on the M3 you want to sell?

bhoch · 01-01-2012, 09:05 AM

Nice. I would be doing this if I could as well. M3's are nice!

KLH · 01-01-2012, 09:41 AM

Visually, the E93 reminds me of the E39. Congrats on your latest acquisition. Nice car!

True that. M3 is just to plain for my tastes. I love your Z4. Looks pretty sweet and very aggressive sitting next to your M3. lol See what I mean.

Anyways congrats. I am pretty much swapping the few items back to another Z4M and going with a different color.

Lol. My son is only 11, and he already asked if this can be his first car. Yeah right!

Yea. Keep an eye on those keys. I used to take my Fathers E39 M5 out when he was asleep...

Aries326 · 01-02-2012, 10:30 PM

Congrats on the purchase! I've considered getting an M3 as well as soon as my DD dies on me (Honda Civic). I like my Z4 but I want something with a bit more power.

M3s are beautiful cars that look like they have no bite. M3s are like that pretty girl with glasses from your college bio class who studied all the time. You would never know that on weekends, she puts on high heels, a mini-skirt, let's her hair down, throws on some make up and would absolutely own you in bed.

Congrats!!!
