M3 owners..... They're an interested bunch. I sold my M3 just so I didn't have to share a forum with them anymore.

Sure thing buddy. So if a new mustang 5.0 is as fast as a m3 0-60 and 1/4 mile, does it mean it can beat the GTR too?

The intercooler was very visible, so it was a f@#king idiot/redneck magnet. I unbolted the turbo kit, sold it to a friend and moved on. If it didnt get wrecked i was going to trade it for a 1991 964 911

Oh, and the E46 m3 (just the M3s, the M5 people were much different) forum was just like a rich honda forum. Ive always like it here the most. Its mostly adults...

agreed. I hate people that have to refer to personal insults when they disagree with someone.

I know on this sub forum, even when we disagree. We usually disagree like adults.

LOL that is so true. Ever since the price of the e46 dropped down so many kids around where I live drive them. Same with the s2k. Sad to see two of the best sports cars (sports as in, good looks, good handling) come down to ricer levels.

first all .. good job Frank on the kill..


after reading the M3 forum for a bit.. makes me wonder when I will come accross a car going 135 on a 45 mile zone!! I will have my cell phone handy and will follow that person until the cops arrive. That is plain STUPID!

Street racing is stupid..

Freeway racing during traffic is for idiots

I have not raced anybody in about 2 years or so.. most of time I will ignore just about anybody. I only push my car hard when I need to pass somebody.

I don't need to prove my E55 is fast and i respect other fast cars.

the street was actually a 55mph zone and local resident usually all go bout 60-65 up that hill. I got up to a 100 and got on the brakes since he wasn't making up the 3-car distance and i was reaching my exit. the section i went for it has no side streets and long section before another red lights. first time racing someone in 4 yrs. LOL

it's funny how most of us here knows what's going on in the Bimmer market, but the fan boys that just buy the Bimmers doesn't know anything about MBZ/AMGs.

That's the truth. Whenever I go to a parts store or something, the person helping me almost always asks if I meant 320.

I went to an exhaust shop for a quote and this old guy from Europe tried to tell me that I have a fake AMG and that they only come in V8's. He had to check online in order to get his facts right.

haha, I've had the reception girl at the dealership for complimentary car wash writing C230, C240, C320, C350, and even one time they just put down Carlsson. instead of knowing what the car actually is. I've always just make sure they write down the plate number so I don't have to "show" them the car is mine after they're done washing it.

I don't know whether to feel special or feel scared that the people working on my car do not know what it is. That's why I do most of my own work, that and money

+1, people see a Mars Red C Class and have NO IDEA what it is, absolutely none. I even have the flat badge and CLK grille, so its really a sleeper. The guy at Costco asked if I has put dual exhaust on an E55?? I was like, Wha???

I think us AMG guys like to keep the M people guessing. There's a lil of that intimidation factor there.
