congrats. very nice car

[illusis]

nice buy, but is it an auto? other then that love the car, deff my fav bmw

[smo0f]

SMG is 6 speed manual. it's a sick transmission system. read up on it

[LaserBlueMSP]

i used to classify smg as auto but it really isnt you really have to drive it to appreciate it, its truly a great peice of machenery it shifts fast and hard in less than one millisecond, and only when i tell it to, there is a clutch just no clutch pedal. i didnt think i would like it, i got the car cause it was a good deal and now i love the smg.

[illusis]

ohhhh ok i know what that is the volvo s40 t5 was sosposed to have that but i dont think they had the tech right to come out with it. yeah it does sound like it would be sick but i dont think i would like it either, i would go to shift and press my foot down looking for the clutch. i do it a lot when i go to start my parents car, look for the clutch to start it. force of habit, something you need to get used to but still good buy, and good luck

[brealmp3]

[vcinsanity1523]

[dupa12345]

[LaserBlueMSP]

aww man i love them one of my favorite cars is that carbon black??yep thats the color, in the sun it looks dark metalic blue its sweet. mine has 53,000 miles but with a 100k bumper2bumper warranty til mid 2009 absolutely fully loaded tho, original purchase price was $66,000 , i purchased it for $30,000 i think it was a pretty good deal.

def a good deal my neighbor has a 2005 carbon black M3 with competition package thats the only reason i knew the color lol

[Hughes412]

Very nice car, I think that's the best looking m3 of all of them, to me that is.
I wished I had that trany

[chaos2015]

i'm so jealous

[vindication]

very nice. although I've seen tons of reviews stating not so good things about bmw's smg trannys prior to last year. Other than that, kudos.

that is my dream car
lovely

[smo0f]

SMG has 6 different settings no? A1-A6. A1 and A2 being very slow shifting, A3 is a notch below avg, A4 is avg or a bit faster, A5 being aggressive, and A6 being race mode. Correct me if i'm wrong please

[zzMSP03.5]

this will be my next car... i think its funny how most people on this forum would love to have a m3 or their next car will be a m3... i guess the MSP is the steping stone to the m3 for some of us

[Falango]

Clutchless manual FTW!!! (no pedal atleast)

[Kansei]

Congrats on the new car!

... um wait so you'll be selling the MSP? How many miles and how much are you looking for? I kinda wanted to look for Orange or Yellow now that one of my closest friends back home just picked up a Lazer Blue MSP and I don't wanna get the same thing, but I could still be tempted :)

[warrier04]

the car looks great.

don't know if you have any money left from the purchase, but any mod plans for the bimmer? deep dish wheels?

[ONRAILS]

Wow... congrats. I was just looking for a good deal on a 2002-2005 M3 last night. Definately deals out there. I am looking for a Laguna Seca Blue one though.

I will be driving one in 06. (glare)

[mikeyb]

Nice buy and by the way I work here: http://www.bavauto.com

[jadonP5]

actually the one i have is yellow, i had a blue one and got rear ended,then i bought the yellow one. ill let you know once i get ready to sell it right now im kinda enjoying having both lol. but really my dad is driving the speed, he has to keep down the miles on his lease so im letting him drive it for now, i however will probably be putting it up in the next couple of weeks, ill keep you posted tho

[sanblaster]

Beautiful Car. Love the m-series of BMW

[JOS3]

i'm so jealous

ditto. M3's are sick.

Well keep it around if you'd like. I won't have the money until the end of summer anyway unless I can get my parents to cover it and I'll pay them back (they'll probably laugh at that prospect, though it worked for getting my p5)

[FlyinMSP]

And now, some driving impressions please! :)

[LaserBlueMSP]

And now, some driving impressions please! :)
believe it or not, it IS everything its cracked up to be, I actually thought it might have been an overhype, but i love it. its fast, it handles great, and its definently a sharp looker. i know i could have bought an evo or a wrx but its just not my style. plus like many this has always been a dream car within grasp of one day coming true. I strongly vouch for the car, and any one looking at getting one is going to love it.

[Hypnotized]

That is a damn good deal. I have been looking for one since Feb and havent really found somehting that really interests me. they either have to many mile or there asking to much money. You made out. Congrats. Also, use the traction control in the rain. Trust me.

Trust me.lol yea i know it has been raining here in michigan and i have been sliding all over the place (on purpose) and it feels great to be in RWD again. I was fish tailing it all day today, i suppose i should stop tho lol (ughdance)

[II-Savy]

Really sweet car but give a normal manual 5 speed or nothing else.:)

[MP503]

[II-Savy]

[LaserBlueMSP]

[FlyinMSP]

How does it feel like getting back into the MSP after having driven the M3? Besides the lack of power I mean...
