Hello from Detroit - Former M3 owner

[vj123]

Hello everyone, I am from Detroit and work in the automotive industry. I custom ordered a 2022 M3 early this year and took delivery this summer. I had it for 4 months and it was a great Grand Tourer. For a secondary vehicle, it was too refined for my liking. I ended up selling it and might get a 5BW or ZL1 1LE. I know they are totally different vehicles but want to get a proper performance vehicle with a V8 before they are extinct. I am not in a hurry to get one but will be spending time in the forum to educate myself before i get one. I am active in several car forums and happy to be a part of this community as well.

Welcome. You will find that the people on this Blog are friendly and helpful. And as a 5BW owner, I can assure you that you will find that the 5BW performance will meet and probably exceed your expectations.

Welcome. Glad to have you here with us.

I've been a long time BMW fan and owner, but unfortunately, they've lost me with their latest redesign and portly nostrils in the front. A 2020 or 2021 M2/M4 is on my bucket list, but Cadillac has definitely knocked it out of the park with the Blackwings. The 1LE is also awesome

Thank you. Previous M2c is a great platform and i had one of the last allocations in the country. After TDing one, i ended up cancelling it as it was too small for my preference and set my eyes on a M3. I had similar thoughts on the latest design language when current M3/4s were launched but changed my mind after seeing them in person.

I feel BMW is looking to cater general (lifestyle) audience with newer platforms. GM on the other hand is catering these vehicles to satisfy the needs of purists and i am looking forward to add one to my garage in the coming years.

Re the 5BW performance. I am amused when, while driving at the posted speed limit, I have people pull along side, wanting to race. I smile because age has taught me, “You don’t have to race when you know you would win”.

This is for the 4BW fans. This is from “The/Drive”, online news letter.

Hey did you have that thread on Bimmerpost where you went to tail of the dragon with your friends? If so, that was a nice trip.

Welcome aboard. Good thing you’re in no hurry to get one, that’s easily achievable. But, I’d sure be in a hurry to order one.
