Skipped on the Mustang guys but I picked up this..










It's a 2011 BMW M3 E92 ZCP (competition package). I decided against the DCT and went with a traditional 6 spd. manual.


I still love Mustangs so don't hold it against me. I have owned now 3 M3's now and I get the best lease rates through BMWFS. The Mustang leases are just terrible and the payment was only a few hundred dollars more a month due to the buyer loyalty program the BMW had.

I hope I am still welcome here...

Dave

Good for you. Truth be told, if I had the money, I'd be sorely tempted. I'm just going for the best bang-for-my-buck with the Mustang.

Yea, what's a few hundred dollars per month on a car payment? I would like to see Motor Trend do a comparo between the M3 and GT, since the Camaro and Challenger are no match.

Well, since you're in ScCal, we should arrange a friendly race to see if the 412hp Mustang can outrun 414hp M3. The mags have them in a deadheat, that is ofcourse if Ford ever decides to send my car.

Congrats on the M3, but wish you would have bought a Gt500.

Even one hundered dollars different would make me get the stang over the M3 but I am a bang for buck kinda guy.

Great car though. Congrats on the purchase.

I think you should still be welcome because of this! In a world of automatics and even the most high tech automatics, you still choose the manual! I, for one, can't stay mad at that.

I see you got it in Race Red, very nice color

That is a monster machine and if you're leasing you might as well go with what you can afford. Moar pics and vids please!

I'm guessing that is for the sunroof so that it isn't so loud when it's open so yeah a diffuser of sorts.

Nice pickup. Can't fault you for your choice especially if you have the coin to spare.

Aaaah, thank you.

That part looks hideous IMO and removing it would be my first mod. At least its functional....
