E92 M3 M Performance Edition in Frozen White. Looks awesome. But the GT3 and 1M will now have to go :(

I was going to get an F10 M5, but the lure of NA V8 got the better of me. Look forward to picking it up in a week or so :)

What happened to m5?
Edit: just read bottom paragraph. Amazing deals at the moment on e92, engine is awesome but need to rev the bollocks off it to go anywhere fast.

Agreed, but a new business venture means that I need a car that can do the best parts of the GT3 and M5 (or 1M as I have now) and the M3 fits that bill.
I will be paying a visit to DMS soon for a decat and remap - makes a noticeable difference in the mid range :)

Yeah, primary cats out and map is supposed to be a good way to go, haven't bothered myself but interested to see your feedback.

I drove Rob's from DMS this week and it felt quicker than my 1M and I know my 1M will see off a standard M3. He reckons 460+ bhp with the front cats removed and sport cats in the centre and a remap :)

The other problem I had was that I had a half day at Bedford in the 1M and I really didn't enjoy the turbo feel on the track as much as I do NA. I then thought, which would give me more reward at the Ring.... Hence M3 it had to be.

That's a tough call, but I've had an e92 M3 for going on five years and I wouldn't get rid of a 1M and 996 GT3 for one.

Hi,
460 bhp from a Remap and Rear Cat removal
on a S65.
Not being done by Clegg/Huhne Tuning is it ?

The Gorilla.
