Andy I see what you mean about how quiet this board is!

Just a quick question to Andy and other M3 owners!

Stepping out of the M5 and into the M3 I notice that the steering feels dull and lifeless. It doesnt seem to convey as much info through the steering "FEEL"as the M5 does. Do you notice similar?

yes, but you get used to it! after a few days/weeks driving it, you get to 'feel' what's going on in a sort of 'non communicative' type of way. I've had mine for a few years, and when I get into other cars, they feel even worse, so perhaps the M3 set up isn't too bad. Make sure your tyre pressures are correct on all 4 corners, sometimes a slight adjustment over the requirement makes a lot of difference.

Andy,

See what you mean!!

God this car is awesome!!

Sad as it may be I have covered over 300 miles since Friday night in it!!

I cant stop driving it!!

I can't believe how MINT the condition of it is. I took it to my dealer today to see what they reconed...They couldnt fault ANYTHING.

We need to arrange an M3 meet because I've gotta show this car off!! plus its another excuse to drive somewhere in it

Regards

Mike

well, we'll have to do it, perhaps we can hop on with some of the E34 M5 lot, and gate crash some of the track days that they intend on having?
