BMW M3 / Dinan S3-R Custom Built Beast - All it needs now is the Dinan Upgrades to become the Real Beast !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing

One word. Visceral. The engine in this car, the S65 V-8, will keep you coming back for more and more day after day. The journey to redline (in my car 8600 RPM) is unlike any other road car Ive driven. Above 6000 RPM the intake noise and steadily increasing ferocity of acceleration will leave you breathless and a bit scared. Like pistons are going to shoot out of the block if you dont stop! Are there faster cars out there with press you in the seat torque? Absolutely. None of those vehicles will hold your attention for month after month, year after year like the E9X M3 will. Points to note: - Mine is a 2008 M3 6MT. I have had it 2.5 years, put 11K miles on it and put about $2700 into repairs.- it is amazingly satisfying to drive on back roads and open highways. Handling is predictable, neutral and rewarding. Braking is instantaneous and adequate. Intake sounds remind me every, single time why I bought it. - In my humble opinion, this car does exactly what is was intended to do and nothing more. Dont believe the hype or criticisms and do your own research (and driving). You may hate it, you may love it. - My recommended options: Get M-drive - it permits driver adjustment of steering speed, throttle response, suspension setting and stability control. If you like music, get one with the individual audio system. It generally lacks low-end response, but mid and highs are clear enough for my amateur ears as well the sound-stage and imaging make me happy. - Get the Dual Clutch (DCT) if you plan to track it, otherwise the 6MT is the way to go for daily driving.

Everything about this car is amazing. My favorite thing is the way the car sounds when you rev the engine. I would definitely recomend this car to anyone who can afford it. This car is a lot of fun to drive because it really lets you feel the road and the car is just amazing.

2008 M3 is the first M3 to use a V8 engine; previous M3s had 4 or 6 cylinders. The engine and I'm only going into detail is a 4.0 liter V8 that revs to 8,400 RPM and puts out 414 horsepower and 295 Lb-ft of torque. It's still very fast, practical and well built.
