Ownership Experiences and Stories

I've owned my E90 M3 for 5 years now and it's been an absolute blast. The thrill of shifting gears manually, the sound of that V8 rumble, and the sheer speed have made every drive a pleasure

Just traded in my old E46 3 series for a brand new M340i. The power delivery is insane! Loving every minute of it so far. Just a few thousand miles on her and I've already noticed some oil consumption issues, but nothing major yet. Overall super happy with the purchase though.

I've been driving my E90 M3 for over 5 years now and I have to say it's been an incredible experience. The power, handling and sound of that V8 engine are just addictive. But what really stands out is how much the car has become a part of me. It's not just a set of wheels, it's an extension of my personality. I've taken it on some amazing roads all over Europe and it's always delivered. The way it grips and accelerates is just thrilling. But even in everyday driving, the M3 is a joy to be around. People often comment on its sleek design and I have to say, I love being the owner of such an iconic car. I've had my share of modifications over the years, from upgraded suspension to a performance exhaust, but it's still kept its original character. I think that's what I love most about the M3 - it's not just a car, it's a statement piece that reflects your style and attitude.

I've had my E90 335i for over 5 years now, and it's been an incredible journey. From daily commutes to track days, this car has never failed to put a smile on my face. The handling is razor-sharp, the engine is powerful, and the interior feels luxurious. I've done a few mods here and there, but nothing too crazy. Just a nice balance of stock and performance upgrades. It's been my daily driver for so long that it feels like an extension of myself now. What are your guys' experiences with BMWs? Do you have any funny stories to share?

I've owned my E90 M3 for over 5 years now and it's been an absolute joy to drive. I've taken it on several track days and it's performed flawlessly every time. The sound of that inline-6 engine is music to my ears! However, as great as the car is, I'm starting to feel the need for something new. Has anyone else out there gone through a similar experience? Should I consider upgrading to an M4 or do you have another suggestion? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I've owned my E90 M3 for three years now and it's been an incredible experience. The handling and performance are unmatched on twisty roads. However, maintenance costs have been higher than expected. Worth every penny in my opinion.

I've owned my E90 M3 for 5 years now and it's been an absolute blast to drive on twisty roads. The engine note and handling are still unmatched in this price range and I feel lucky to have had such a capable car in my driveway.

I've owned my E39 M5 since 2008 and it's been an incredible experience. The power, handling, and style have never gotten old. The 5000 mile maintenance is a bit steep but well worth it for this iconic car.

I've owned my E90 335i for over 5 years now, and I have to say it's been an absolute blast. The handling is incredible, the engine is a beast, and the interior is top-notch. I've taken it on some amazing roads in Europe and even did a few track days with it, which was an unforgettable experience. One of my favorite things about the 335i is how well it's held up over time. Sure, there are some minor issues here and there, but nothing major that I wouldn't expect from a high-performance car like this. I've also had great experiences with the community - everyone seems super knowledgeable and friendly. If you're in the market for a performance BMW, I'd definitely recommend looking into the E90 335i. It's an amazing car that just gets better with age. Plus, it looks stunning in space grey metallic!

I've owned my E46 M3 since 2010 and it's been an absolute blast. I purchased it with 70k miles on the clock and have since put another 50k on it. It's a track car at heart but also gets daily driven in decent weather. The thing I love most about it is how raw and unfiltered the driving experience feels. No fancy electronics or gimmicks, just pure, unadulterated performance. The engine growl, the handling, it all comes together to create something truly special. Of course, there are downsides. Oil consumption has been an issue (I'm on my third set of oil) and the fuel economy can be pretty poor if you're not careful. But honestly, I couldn't care less about those things. This car is a driver's car, through and through. Has anyone else out there had similar experiences with their M3 or other high-performance BMWs?

I've owned my 2015 BMW M4 for three years now, and it's been an absolute blast. The thrill of accelerating from a standstill, the handling on twisty roads - it's a true driving machine. However, I do wish they'd improved the infotainment system since then, as it can be quite frustrating at times. Overall though, the positives far outweigh the negatives, and I wouldn't trade my M4 for anything in its class. The maintenance costs are also reasonable considering the performance you get.

I've owned my E90 335i since 2012 and it's been an absolute blast to drive. The inline six engine is smooth as silk and has plenty of power for daily driving. I've taken it on a few track days and it handles beautifully with the sport suspension. One thing that's surprised me about BMW ownership is how involved you become in the community. From online forums like this one, to local car meets and events, there's always something going on. My friends who own other brands just don't get the same level of camaraderie as we do. I've also been impressed by the reliability of my 335i - it's had its fair share of maintenance over the years but nothing major. I'm looking forward to upgrading to a new M3 in the next year or so, and I'll be sticking with BMW through and through.

I've owned my E90 M3 for over 5 years now and it's been an incredible experience. I purchased it with around 60k miles on the clock and was a bit hesitant at first due to its age but it's been nothing short of phenomenal. The performance is still there, handling is exceptional and it's been reliable with minimal issues. I've driven it across Europe, the US and even did a lap around the Nurburgring without any major problems. What's surprised me most though is how much joy it brings to my daily commute - people stop and stare, fellow petrolheads wave from other cars and the sheer presence of that iconic M3 badge just gives me a sense of satisfaction. For anyone thinking of buying an older M3, I say go for it! They're still plenty quick, handling is sublime and the character of these cars cannot be replicated by newer models

I've owned my E90 335i for 5 years now and it's been a blast. The handling and performance are incredible, but I'm starting to notice some issues with reliability, particularly with the DCT transmission. Still, I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat!

I've owned my E46 M3 for over 5 years now and it's been an absolute thrill ride. The first thing that comes to mind when people ask me about owning a BMW is how much love and care they require. From regular oil changes to the occasional track day, I've learned to appreciate the nuances of this beautiful machine. With its V8 rumble and razor-sharp handling, it's a true driving experience like no other. If you're considering joining the BMW family, be prepared for an ownership adventure that'll leave you grinning from ear to ear!

I've owned my E46 M3 for over 5 years now, and it's been an absolute blast. I purchased it with 70k miles on the clock, and I've put another 30k on it since then. The car has been meticulously maintained by a local BMW specialist, and it still looks and drives like new. I love taking it out on twisty roads, where its rear-wheel drive layout and precise handling make it a true driver's car. But what I think sets the M3 apart is its character - it's not just a fast car, it's a personality-packed one. People often comment on how much they love seeing it in person. I've had to replace a few worn-out parts over the years, but nothing major has come up yet. My only regret is that I didn't get into BMW earlier in life - now, at 40+ years old, it's harder to justify the costs and stresses of owning a high-performance car like this one!
