It's also a very heavy, 4,000 pound car with the engine completely in front of the front suspension. So it wasn't any faster than my M Coupe, handled poorly, didn't seem to ride any better, but sounded glorious. I'd always try to goad him into flooring it just to hear it. Great sounds.
This is what has me so enamored with the car haha I would love to get a E90 M3, but I'd prefer AWD. And, I somehow convinced the boss to let me look at something else, as long as its AWD. She's quite keen on cars, and will instantly notice that an M3 is not AWD. Though I could remove all the M badges from the car...
The obvious fix is to get the V8 R8. Same motor, but with a dry sump, gated shifter and a wee bit better looking.
