From M5 to M3

Hey guys I am just introducing myself with a couple of pictures of my new to me M3. I recently traded my e60 M5 for this M3. The funny thing is I dont miss the M5. Eventually down the road this will be turned into a race car but for now it will be my daily!

Here is a picture of my old M5



The new ride.











Thanks for looking.

Thanks guys. I am going to keep it N/A since it will be a race car later just not sure what class or organization I will do. The M5 was smg but I'm glad to be back with stick even though the M5 was more of a relaxing car to drive.

Oh look who it is, welcome to M3post Kris
You better make this car cooler than the Evo race car and way cooler than your E46 M3 race car

I knew you'd eventually get an E92. 1) You love white cars 2) you always had a kiddy grin across your face everytime you drove it

Enjoy, I know you're gonna make it sick

I could swear I saw your M5 on I90 last summer, exit on Barrington road. Did you have an IND sticker on the back? You guys are killing me with the mod bug!

The M5 with IND sticker was most likely IND's M5

This is Kris the race car driver

Now it could be both of them. IND has a full eisenmann on their M5 and Kris had a full custom exhaust which sounded completely insane and was loud

Did you really expect to keep up with an M5 in your van?

Kris I'm glad you're in an M3 now! I know you can appreciate how much more nimble the chassis is over the E60... that car gets so boring so fast to me.

I gotta agree with this statement! If you like to toss the car around, M3 is a far better automobile than the M5. Of course, the wife would entirely disagree with my statement!! lol!

Exactly. The M5 was fun at the track even with 5 people in it but the M3 suits me better. It is a lot more fun to even daily drive and I'm sure a blast on the track. Just have to wait till April for Autobahn Country Club to open back up.
