M3 Review - Videos & Questions
My 1st thoughts :
- It's an eye grabber I noticed this every where I go.
- I don't think I need to change any thing for 1 yr at least.
- When my friend was with me he told me (Abdullah you always like high tech/power/cars.. well now you have the full package.. I totally agree with him.
- The drive is so enjoyable I don't want to go home.
- The power button REALLY makes a difference.
- I almost raced an M5 but I was calming my self & changed streets to avoid him.
- The clutch needs around 1200 miles/2000 km to give you full performance so you must be careful during break-in.
- I liked that I have a sticker telling me break-in instruction.. it says :
* Up to 1200m/2000km - No full throttle/max engine speed 5500rpm/max speed 106m 170km.
* Up to 3100m/5000km - max constant speed 137m 220km/max speed only for short periods.
- Although I forgot to order the Ipod usb option, I told the dealer later & was lucky to get it.. the thing is that I used the flash mem with some tracks & it worked perfectly.. but the ipod just keeps disconnecting & I don't have any idea why. BTW when you use the usb with flash or ipod don't worry if it does not work right away.. just wait for it as it needs time to read all the tracks info.
- This is a thing I really wanted to try.. I created a DVD with mp3 files & used the nav player ..it worked.. it really worked.. that means you can create DVD mp3 CD's
- The dealer told me that the NAV is 3D. I'll have the CD next week I can't wait to try it.
- The DCT GearBox is a world of it's own it gives you the feeling/spirit of manual Gear & you enjoy it all the time.. imagine I did not max it yet !!
- The Seat sides which can be adjusted to hug you is a must for any sport car & you have it as well.
- Most 3 things with good comments from friends/family are : CF roof - Power - Engine Sound.
- No Vid/Pic is fair to show how great looking car this is.
- I like the engine sound speacially when it's cold & I just started it.
- The car just flies.. even when I'm just breaking-in the car.
- The car is so agressive I don't think I should really take it very easy during break-in.
- I have alot to try on the M setting & I have to really get the max out of the correct setting for me.
- The car is very easy to control , I like the turning angel it makes parallel parking easier.
- WTH every body wants to drive it.
- I don't know if it's bad or good to leave it on D & take off youre foot from the break while waiting on the traffic signal ? maybe it affects the clutch ?
- I like the side mirrors they look great & gives you the needed view.
- With my current driving I think I'll need lots of break pads !!
- The shift lights gives you a racing feeling.
- There is a whistle sound I don't know if it should be there.. but actually I like it.. with it.. it's a track racing car.
- It was worth every day in the last 5 months I waited for it.
My 1st Launch Control Vid .. too much wheel spin but gives you an idea

5000 KM review :
Good:
- Boy oh boy... when I finished the break-in period I just floored it .. the sound .. the kick feeling you get .. & speed is so ... (as my friend said) tingles all ur senses.
- I tried the launch control 3 times.. the 3rd time on 4500.. it was much better.
- M3 is not the most powerful car but M3 is the most amazing driving experience.
- I really like using S5.. the kick & wheel spin you get when changing from 1st to 2nd & from 2nd to 3rd is so enjoyable it makes me drive this way all the time.
- The car consumes lot's of gas.. but if I think again.. it's my agressive driving.. come on the car forces you to drive it this way..
- Be carful when you use S5 setting with power plus/Dynamic DSC.. if you change gear from 1st to 2nd on curve the car could spin.
- I still don't know the best setting for drag racing... if you switch off the DSC there will be lots of wheel spin & u'll be late.. if you put it on dynamic it would delay you..
- When you use S5 instead of D5.. is the car faster ? or it just feels that way ?
- The ipod option is very very very nice.. don't forget to buy the 6fl cable or it will not work correctly.
- As I said before you can create a data MP3 DVD & use it in the Nav player.
- I've been stoped by 9 guys up to now asking me about the car.
- Every time I go out.. every time.. some one wants to race me.
- The double clutch concept attracts every one.
- The car control is so good & makes you want to go faster & faster & faster......
- This is my 1st BMW.. 1st M BMW... 1st Coupe... (it wont be the last)
- 5 of my friends were speachless after a ride with me.
- I wonder is it enough power.. hummmm
- I've seen almost all colors.. I think the aw/red fox is the best combo.
- In TopGear they said M3 owners have no friends.. I'm meeting a new friend almost every week & the reason is the M3.
- The iDrive is not hard to handle ... BUT ... please pay attention to what's in front of you as you could be choosing a track on ur ipod & forget about the road ahead.
- Why do I feel that Kubica have to win every time in F1 ?
- The shifting lights adds to the driving experience..
- The car is cool for low speeds as well.. not just for high speeds.. it's cool & agressive at the same time.
- Is the nav screen always small or can I use it as full screen ?
- Every time I drive the car it feels new .. I don't how to explain this but when I just finished a long drive.. then come home.. then go out again.. it feels that I'm just driving the car.
- If you are not sure you want the DCT option..well think again.. it will be the best option u ever order.
- Don't ever give ur M3 to any one.. in the wrong driver hand it will be a killing machine.
Bad :
- The car stalled when coming to a traffic signal 4 times (not at the same time) .. I still don't know why ?! Imagine if this happens when a truck is coming my way.. u have to change my in name the forum to abbood(dead)
- I hate when some one mistakes my car for 335 ... Grrrrrrr
- The break squeeks...
- Some times a sudden power loose happens.. it feels like the gear is not there.. so I take off my foot & try again it works !!
- Why do I have to pay for the 6fl ipod cable ?
