I wish I had the cash and the courage to do this.

When it comes to cars like these, they are usually custom built per someone’s exact specifications. You typically don’t buy them off a lot. Same goes for Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc..

So of course you’re not going to drive it before buying it. The car doesn’t even exist yet. I’ve done this numerous times.

One does not need to drive an M3 or M5 before ordering one. Guaranteed satisfaction.

Yeah, I have been through 4 M3's, still have the 1995. That one my favorite. Test drove them all before I bought them. But those were different times.

My Porsche dealer has exhibition models that I can't buy, but I can test drive.

I am sure OP will be happy with the M3 - sounds like you liked yours but succumbed to social pressure :)

HA!

Happy Friday

We just got an “allocation” for one: 2023 M3 Comp Xdrive, executive package, carbon package, black interior with leather and carbon seats, laser headlights, red calipers and black wheels. 0-6 in about 3 seconds �� Traded in a 2020 M2 for it. Should be ready in three months. We saw one very similar (brown leather instead of black) at a recent show in Phoenix, beautiful vehicle! Looking forward to all wheel drive, or not. Should be ready for some summer fun :)
Cheers and great buy, hellacious vehicle. By

The specification and options are an 11/10.

Performance is excellent.

The new design grille on the front is a big spoiler for me.

I thought the same thing about the grill when they first came out like this. I hated it, but now it’s grown on me. I don’t mind it at all. Especially in a state like FL where there is no requirement for a front license plate.

You’re a better one than I. I still can’t stomach the grill since about 2 y ago when it changed in the brand.

Still have not driven it. Waiting for the ppl to be complete before I take any risks of rock chips. Been there and done that.

Zero concerns though. I know I am going to love it.

What year and color is yours??

Not a newer one, but an E90 M3 for almost 10 years. I love it and no plans to part with it...

Congrats on the new one. I'm sure it will be a beast and a joy to drive.

Sounds nice. This is a great car for sure still. Amazing how long it’s stood solid out there. Fantastic platform.

Have to buy it in black to hide it. Like a beard on a fat man hiding a double chin. Still a compelling ride if you need 4 doors. I can’t understand the appeal of the m4 though. Would much rather other options.

Imo, it’s a bit of a legend. An Audi that has been compared to supercars/exotic cars for as long as it has.

An Audi. That really appeals to me. My friends ask, why not just get another Huracan. I prefer having an Audi.

Event though same platform the Huracan and R8...the R8 is way more classier and not as brash as the Huracan. Its a very very impressive car. So underrated.
