It is 08, iirc the 09 sedans were refreshed. But imo the 08s look nicer.

6 speed. I do like the m-dct, and like dual clutch in general, but I enjoy the skill of heel-toe, and don't mind being a little slower for it.

Congrats man, awesome car dont see too many in that color.

Douchebag :poosie: :D

[Destinova403]

wow man... beautiful car

now try not to weave so much... resist the temptation.

[max_boost]

Another ///M3 owner? Haha j/k :D

Nice ride man. Love the color. I had a similar tone on my 330Ci. :drool:

In addition to the weaving, remember to use your signals when changing lanes. Be different than the rest of the douches! :bigpimp:

Enjoy it man.

:burnout:

[rumeo]

very nice what options did you get with it?

[Kloubek]

Nice car.

I mean no offence - it's just my opinion - but I never did like the rear lights on these models. They just don't look aggressive enough. The rest of the car is wicked though. Those rims really help set it off.

[CSMRX7]

I have every option but i-drive and m-dct. Just the way I wanted it, now the question is how long can I keep it stock...

[1-Bar]

wow......I would expect moderate doucheeness with a 335 or something, but you went straight to the top! Looks good :thumbsup:

I will do my best to remain a courteous driver, but since I will be expected to be a complete ass I think I may cause quite a bit of confusion to BMW drivers and non-BMW drivers alike!

Dunno yet, most M3 guys are throwing on forged monoblock wheels, but I am thinking maybe BBS LMs or something similar.

[Crymson]

Yeah, that thing is a peach. Good pickup man -- i'm jealous of your incredible personal wealth and taste.

[Aleks]

BMW had some sweet specials on their last few 08s.

I hope same thing happens next year. I want an automatic one :D

Yep, the deals on the 08s were pretty good. I actually go the last one in Calgary, but there are a few left in Canada so people can still pick them up if they want a crazy deal.

welcome to the doucheBag club LOL

[gpomp]

[EK 2.0]

Congrats...always loved the Sedan more than the Coupe...

Hawt! I love the color. and I do love the wheels :)

"how to turn a redneck into a douche"
- make him sell the SRT8 and buy a bmw. :poosie: :rofl:

[Khalil.e]

Blacked out tails on your car would look great.

[BigWill]

[EvolutionI]

Nice car, be sure to do the 10 steps of driving like a douchebag as much as possible.

Nice ride. Welcome to the club.
I just found out yesterday, that 19" 's are pretty much the "Anti-douche".

I went from the stock 18's to some 19's with ultra low-pro tires (30's). Not recommended.... at all... the ride is ultra-harsh now. It feels like i have no suspension. :thumbsdow :thumbsdow :thumbsdow

I now know, just how brutally harsh deerfoot it. Especially the 17th ave SE/Blackfoot to Deerfoot southbound on-ramp.
My CD-player skips the whole time. Until I'm at the Piegan off ramp

If you DO get 19's, make sure you can sport some tires that are at least 40's or 45's. I have 35's in the front and 30's in the back, and its fucking hell... seriously. :banghead:

The ride quality went to about 1/4 to what it normally is:cry:

I find myself driving below the speed limit whenever I can, and slowing down excessively for any potholes or dips/bumps in the road. I'm now looking at other spring/shock options. :(

[nbaker00]

:drool: :drool:
Nice!

Ride please:D

[blownz]

Sweet ride OP! :hitit:

Must be the tires because I have the same size and the ride is great. About the same as 17" RFT. But my tires give up a lot of grip for the ride compliance, but it is perfect for someone like me with 2 car seats in the back. :thumbsup:

That sucks, what tire pressure are you running? I drove an M3 with 19s and EDC set to soft and the ride wasn't too harsh.

Really? I have that setup on my SLK and it's perfectly fine.

fyi, his srt8 had 20s for winter (oem), and 22s in the summer and it was perfectly fine...

[KGB]

beautiful car, respect for getting it in the 6 speed manual :thumbsup:

[mekeni]

very nice !! :thumbsup:

[m10-power]

Looks good, you know you need to swap in a real V8 :poosie:

Funny you were hacking on the BMW scene and I was laughing at your JDM FD, now your a douche and I'm building a JDM monster...:facepalm:

[civic_rida]

I have 19's on my bmw smooth ride. Ride is less harsh than the rdx and bmw is also lowered.

[treg50]

Ahhh yeah, M3 sedan good choice, nice rim and paint combo. The only Beem I'd consider douching myself for.

Parking in the visitor spots? That Vulcanite product will do you right.

[GQBalla]

oh your not a doucheeee@!!!

Someone was right about the tire pressures, I just tossed them on, I should check that.

But they're
265/30/19 (rear) (19 x 10)
235/35/19 (front) (19x8.5)

Apparently the offsets may not be working properly with the OEM suspension geometry. So thats something I'd definately research WELL before opting to get a set.

The ones on my car aren't ideal, but rather then get anal-raped through USD VS. CAD conversion charges, I bought locally. :dunno:

So far the rub issues are fine though, but wow, is the suspension ever rock solid now.

[shin0bi]

I hate you.

Wow dude that sounds really shitty. Do you have oem springs? I had lowering springs, and 19s as well on 30 series on my M3. The m3 is naturally a stiffer ride, but it wasn't as bad as what your describing. It wasn't comfortable as oem but it i could live with it. The car was really low too.

OP- Wicked car, i love the 4 doors :drool:

[TorqueDog]

Vaaary niiiice.

:thumbsup: on getting the stickshift. Welcome to BMW Mthusiast world.

[Everlast]

Do you have any vibrations in your steering at higher speeds? I have the same sizing as you and it's still fairly comfortable imo

No not at all, short of what is created through bumps in the road. I wouldn't call that an unwarrented vibration though, just bumps and dips that I can feel through the steering. :dunno:

I found out partially why the ride was so viciously rough, the guy that I bought the rims from had the tire pressure set at 80 for the fronts, except for one rear tire that had 4psi in it, and the other with 24psi :nut:
Odd considering the max pressure for the Toyo TR1's are 40psi.
:confused:

Nice ride!:drool:
