Ultimate natural aspirate V8 engine

Exceptionally chassis performance, base in balance between power and weigh. mechanical issues?? yes, rod bearings and valves actuator with this S65 engine, but for me, it really worth to spend 5K in this diamond, I don't think any other high performance car have not issues..?, of course they have. Other aspect is high fuel consumption but who cares.. you pay for what the car give in term of power and joy, if you are concern about fuel economy, forget. this is a V8 natural aspirate engine, and eventually will be a iconic car. I have sedan 2011 competition pack and been driving this car for 20 months and complements for this ultimate driving machine endless.

I've had my 2011 M3 for about 6 months. It is actually a dual clutch 7 speed. It's fast. It's sexy. It handles like its on rails. A real fun car to drive. Gets a lot of attention. Blast it straight or bend it around a country road and you just won't want to put it away. I'm a big fan of late 60s muscle cars and this reminds me a lot of the Chevelle with its deep exhaust note and off the line g force. Biggest difference is that it will handle the road like nothing else. The stereo is absolutely tight, even at ear splitting volume. I've never felt so safe or confident in a car like I do in the M. A touch of the wheel and it goes where you want. Brakes are HUGE and smooth. I am a lucky man!

I’m never selling it

Bought my 2011 with 22k miles in March 2020. The s65 4.0 masterpiece V8 with Valvetronic exhaust makes sounds that, if angels can sing, sound like my M3. Every time I get behind the wheel, smiles happen. Allot of smiles. Put top down, that’s right, more smiles. People are always asking, what is this thing, what’s under the hood? Heaven, that’s what’s under the hood. Now, my life is consumed with finding the best, most curvy roads I can find because that’s where this car belongs and excels. The interstate is a waste of mileage, I avoid it like the plague. I’m on the list for a 2022 Vette, thinking Z06. If that happens, the M3 is going nowhere. I’m never selling this car. Ever.

Bought my 2011 m3 as a second car 3 years ago. I find myself hitting the canyons after dinner on weekday nights and getting up early on weekends to carve the canyons or head to a track day. It’s driven to work or family outings way more than expected because it’s just that good at everything and so fun to drive. This is my 3rd M3 — had a e36 , e46 even tried e92 335 IS and loved them all but this e92 m3 is my favorite of them all! The versatility, do to it’s size,comfort, reliability and that amazing V8 sound track just make for an amazing all around car, In my view the only negatives are it has to small of a gas tank and goes through gas like a baby goes through diapers. It’s worth the frequent gas stops for sure. The e92 m3 now has 73000 miles on and all that has been done is basic maintenance and a few performances upgrades. This car could be the family heirloom:)

The longevity of the ride really matters unless there are major problems early on. Bought in 07/10 This is a 6sp manual hardtop Convert that has provided years of pleasure. 106k+ miles and here are/were the problems. Nav stinks never was any good and completely has been bad for the past 10k miles ( telling it an address to look up or change stations??? it does what it wants to do :( The glove box now wont open :(. But I can still get 22+ mpg hwy. and though the car has lost some power......it still has enough get up and go as to not embarrass Handling is still excellent Do it again if I had the chance ?? 1000% yes. I will trade it in once its performance breaks down or I win the lottery :)
