![]() Powered by a four-cylinder engine from BMW Motorsport, the first M3 makes people who haven’t even driven it dewy-eyed. The first M3 was the two-door E30, a completely bonkers, benchmark-defining sports sedan. And it might be to do with all of the above. It’s difficult to say exactly what it is. Not just the revs – a lack of revs has become a fact of life – but something I’ve come to call “the spark” because I can’t really define it. Still do, but I will concede that there is a tiny something missing, something the V8 M3 had and the E46 M3 six before. The steering isn’t great, the turbo straight-six isn’t the V8 (oh, der), it’s heavy. There wasn’t a lot wrong with the new M4, but there were (and continue to be) complaints. And it looked amazing in the right colour and with the right wheels. High revving, naturally-aspirated and if you chose, a bit of luxury. The M4 replaced the V8 M3 Coupe which was a cracker of a car. Some years ago, BMW released the M4, which replaced the M3, which itself was replaced by the sedan-only M3. Still not able to figure out whether your red hawwt chic has more flair than your charismatic penning of so vivid emotions.I need to take you on a little journey here. This is the Teutonic titan most will aspire to, the most sensible laugh-a-minute ride your money can buy.įinished reading in one go - quite an achievement for me in my own procrastinated world of khyaali pulao. Timeless elegance meets sheer brute force in this car that packs more than enough muscle for most men, and it reeks beauty inside and out in that subtle, understated Germanic way that I find so alluring. Like a heady, intoxicating woman, it has you wrapped around its (non-existent) spare wheel before you know it. If I did have to go with a car that is powered by devil's juice, why not do it right? And being wrong never felt more right than behind the wheel of a 530d. One need not extol the virtues of the 530d around these parts, for it as close to perfection as it comes to balancing the needs of daily driving with that of an enthusiast. My apologies but but could not resist sharing a couple of pictures of my Red 3-series here:Ĭongratulations once again and wish you many happy miles! Regarding the suspensions, thankfully the suspensions were improved in the LCI and a lot of floatiness that you mentioned is gone in the post-LCI 3-series. You are spot on with your observations about most things in the F30 3-series. Finally settled on a 320d - but it is still a Red 3-series with the same black sports interiors with those lovely sports seats - and I do share your joy to a large extent! ![]() However, I wanted cars within warranty and BSI, and with that constraint added, I did not find even a single 328i in the market. Last year, I too was on a lookout for a pre-owned 3-series, and would have loved to have a 328i. Same car, same color, in the same alloy wheel design too. ![]() And what amazing pictures! The photos here are the great examples of best angles to photograph the 3-series. Very entertaining and yet very insightful. Congratulations once again!Īnd what an awesome write-up! This is one of the best reviews I have read. ![]() And it is a rare combination (in the red color). ![]() Red 328i is one of the best looking cars on Indian roads. First of all, congratulations on your beautiful car. ![]()
