    there'd have to be a monthly fee, admin fee, early termination or something

    no banks are giving out free credit......especially not in this worsening gfc

    Had quite a good experience with BMW lease. Six months interest free, no early termination fee's and a $200 application fee to commence with a rate of 8.2%.

    is this a skylines forum? why is everyone applauding a switch to the darkside? the bimmer looks great and im sure its very fast but wheres the loyalty? :geek:

    Actually it's really not all that fast compared to a lot of vehicles on the forum, but that wasn't the reason behind buying it. A true enthusiast will appreciate a nice example of any vehicle regardless of the badge.

    Exactly. If you are a true "enthusiast" you love a car for what it is, not because it is a particular make or model.

    I love Skylines, however I love a thousand other cars aswell. Each for specific purposes.

    I absolutely hate people that say they are into cars yet then say the best cars are *insert car make here* and all other cars are shit. M3's are fantastic cars and any one that says other wise is an idiot.

    Couldn't agree more.

    nice car, the way it looks now is awesome better than the last pic...my 2c, but the ess would kick ass :D

    Actually i've had mixed opinions about which wheels look better. The only other differences on that car are the c/f bits which i think make the car look a bit more aggressive :)

    Here's an E92 M3 track car from the US with a bit of JDM influence. Love it or hate it, it looks very aggressive.

    One of the guys on the forums didn't like it and commented "yuk, why didnt they just buy a skyline" lol.

    Absolutely love this thing! Such an amazing build, really looking forward to see videos from the track.

    If you thought that was tough check this thing out - http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=461110

    Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. I will be attending a few SAU cruises.. if you'll still have me :D

    From everything I have read on E90POST there is no issues with the transmission handling larger amounts of power.

    They are basically the same type of gearbox as what the R35 GTR uses and as we all know, the only reason they have broken in the R35 is due to AWD launches in a heavy, powerfull car. Obviously the M3 doesn't have this problem.

    This is correct! The gearbox has comfortably handled over 500rwhp. Kits producting more power recommend the six speed transmission although i don't think customers running higher power levels have had issues, however they don't recommend it. The box uses a dual clutch system and isn't like an 'automatic' DSG type setup, quite similar to the R35 i believe.

    Great purchase you did there, Ben. Love the car.

    I am also thinking of getting the M5 (Can't be bother with 2 doors after this V35. :P) in the future. Will let you know then and we can be BMW buddies.

    Two thumbs up from me. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    The new M5 looks incredible! From the teaser footage I've seen it appears to be a pretty amazing car, and you can't go wrong with the TT V8.

    Nah M3 is the win, good choice. They make awesome daily drivers and still look plenty tough on the road, in a nice subtle way.

    This is one of the main reasons i love it. It has a more subtle aggression to it and still makes for a classy and livable daily. When you activate 'M' mode, suspension is significantly tightened (it is quite rough), throttle and steering sensitivity is heightened and the gearbox goes into its most aggressive setting which is amazingly quick! I can't wait to get it to the track :)

    I love M3s. Would definitely take over an R34, but the R35? Come on. It's the supercar killer.

    Still a nice car though.

    Won't disagree it's a supercar killer or that it wouldn't completely out pace the M3 on the track, but you have to take into account how much time you spend driving it like a supercar. I figured 80% of my car use will be driving around the city on public roads with speed limits, and with the way unmarked / point to point speed cameras are going the possibility of hammering your car down the highway or around some twisties is slowly diminishing. The R35 is an amazing car, but it is not practical as a daily and is significantly rougher and less refined then the M3. If i could be driving the R35 the way it is meant to be driven even 50% of the time my decision might have been a bit harder. I know any die hard GTR fan will flat out disagree with what I've said but i had to be realistic with the amount of time I'll spend at a track. I'm actually quite enjoying a RWD car again too, makes for some fun (and scary) times.

    Fantastic choice in car and colour combo. I to would pick one over the R35.

    I absolutely love my dads 09 E92 Space Gray M Sport 335i with the 7 speed DCT transmission. I pretty much convinced him to buy it when we were looking for a new car and he is so happy with it. We just fitted the BMW Performance carbon spoiler onto it :)

    Definitely want to own a M3 one time in my life.

    Go ze Germans!

    The 335s are an awesome car! With a bit of tuning they can keep up with an M3 apparently. The DCT transmission is fantastic, i was originally a bit reluctant to swap from the stick but they've really done a fantastic job. When the shift setting is on 6 in M mode the down change aggression is unreal!

    If you switch to the R35 later this year, remember that I'm 1st on the queue to procure this here 2nd-hand M3 :P

    Haha I'll be sure to let you know, can't see it likely at this stage though :D

    Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

    Well after many years of owning Japanese cars, R33 GTS-T, 350Z and most recently a R34 GTR V-Spec II, i made the decision not to purchase the R35 GTR and to see if the grass on the other side was in fact greener. This decision was originally based on the fact the R35 was having an significant update later this year which i think would make purchasing the current one a bad choice as it would most likely lose a lot of value upon release of its successor, not to mention the next one has a lot more features and power. I know performance wise these cars are not at all in the same league, and i won't argue the M3 is better in any performance aspect because it isnt, but as an overall package i think it's hard to go wrong.

    I chose to purchase what i think is the pick of the bunch (in its class / price bracket) in the Euro scene, the E92 M3. I was lucky enough to get hold of one of the 50 limited 'Pure' editions which basically gives the vehicle a few less dicky features to save weight (automatic dipping highbeams, six stack cd etc), an Alacantra / leather combo interior and a bunch of black exterior highlights (wheels, grills, side flutes and bonnet vents).

    I have only done 600k in it so far but am absolutely in love! It will never have the raw and brutal feel of the GTR but as a package the m3 just does everything so well. I will have to save the 'review' until i've been able to make proper use of the 'M' button and get it out on the track but for now i can safely say i'm very impressed.

    Plans for this one are mild and include -

    Gintani race exhaust w/high flow cats - Installed

    RPI Intake scoops and filter - Installed

    BPS Chiptech tune - To be fitted

    Vorsteiner carbon front lip - To be fitted

    3D rear carbon diffuser - To be fitted

    Then in a few months time i'll be fitting an ESS Supercharger, most likely a VT2-575 which should see around 480-500rwhp and about 310 ft-lbs which should make things a little more interesting! Then i'll be hitting the track as regularly as i'm able. I will update as i get the work done. I know this car wont be for everyone a good amount of people will think i'm crazy not to have bought an R35 but so far there are noregrets!
