New E92 M3 owner in the ATL area

racegate · 03-30-2014, 07:51 PM

Hey folks, just moved to the ATL area and also picked up an E92 M3 recently as well. I actually owned an E36 M3 years ago, and when I was contemplating what to get for a new DD, this was an obvious choice. Some previous cars: MKIV Supra 6spd (850whp), 911 Twin Turbo, E36 M3. I also currently have a GEN2 Viper that was recently Twin Turbo'd which is my "project/play" car. So overall, I'm a gear head without a bias for brand.

Loving the E92 M3 so far. Its a great combination of luxury and sport. A bit anemic on the HP side (for my tastes, and relatively speaking) but the driving experience more than makes up for it. And one can always add a bolt-on SC if that really becomes a problem.

Other than wheels, I don't see myself doing much to it in the long term. And I made a thread in the regional area, but if someone has a good detailing shop recommendation in the GA/ATL area, I'm all ears!

Nice pick up! She's a beauty. In all fairness... a lot of cars that would feel anemic after having driven that Viper and an 850 HP Supra.

Agreed. And the powerband is the exact opposite of an 8.0L V10 truck engine that redlines at 6000RPM.

I'm looking forward to experiencing Roebling Road with the car.

Well it's a Civic. That's your problem right there!

JK, of course! Congrats and welcome!
