Moral of the story, drive the fastest car last.

Mmmm…Dalessandros cheesesteaks…������ (poor people who only know of Pat’s and Gino’s)

However for a daily it can get old fast. The G80 I would say is just a better overall car. Seats are a lot more comfortable interior is a lot nicer more space and the ride quality is better and that definitely helps for a daily especially if you have kids. When you want to have fun just switch it into one of your M modes and the car turns into an animal. Doesn’t feel at all like you’re driving a bigger heavier sedan and I would honestly say it’s more planted and compliant than the M2C which I didn’t think was possible. I know a lot of reviews online say that the new M3 feels numb and soulless but for me it fits my lifestyle better with the family. With this car I don’t feel like I need multiple cars to satisfy my driving needs however Im still saving for a 992 GT3 and use that as a weekender.

this is what I expected... i used to have an m2c and it disnt feel planted to me at all and instead felt jumpy... the m3c felt like i was glued to the entire road

Upsizing the tires calmed down the M2C. I was running 295/19 rears on mine (totally blanking on what I had on the front) and it made a huge difference. Stock, that car was made to make Chris Harris smile while drifting around a track, not for use as a daily.

Ahem

Bro, get a ticket lawyer, no exceptions. "Off the Record" "Get dismissed"
something. I recommend "Off the record" Smoking Tire Podcast has a discount code.

And OP, its not easy to keep this thing under wraps. Use Waze and get a radar detector.

I think that would make it less snappy but wouldn't improve the bounciness on almost all roads... the rebound was extremely poorly setup for that car imho. It was almost scary to drive at times.

It actually helped more than I would have thought at the time. A lot of the bounciness was suspension, and some of it was the suspension reacting to traction issues. At the same time, the suspension was also probably contributing to traction issues. The two issues were hard to isolate until the traction issues were (mostly) resolved. I'm certainly not downplaying the suspension issues, but the suspension wasn't the only way the car wasn't setup very well.

For me, at least, my M2C ownership was a slow decline in satisfaction with the car. I'm very thankful that my M3 experience hasn't followed that pattern.

The few times I’ve been to Jim’s it was mediocre at best. If I’m down in that area I’d rather walk down the street for a slice or two of Lorenzo’s pizza.

Definitely try Angelos for a steak Sammy. Emmy squared for pizza. Try the Colony. It’s pepperoni/ pickled jalapeños with hot honey. The burger there is also ridiculous. Bon appetit fellas

So mad they had a electrical fire.

Hopefully they are back this season.

Fun ride in summer from Connecticut.

Oh yeah first thing I did man. All those hours of listening to Matt Farah whine about new cars have paid off somewhere around $20

Thunderhill, Laguna Seca, or any road track where you can really use the power.

Autocross is another way.

On the street, 0 to 10 over as fast as possible.

I usually spend a week in a time share in Fort Lauderdale and I95 scares me. 80 is about average here in SoCal, but not 90+ in the kind of traffic typical between FL and Miami.

There are times and places where one can sometimes use these cars, but even that does not work all the time. My last speeding ticket was in 2002 (not a typo, I have only had 4, and look at a sampling of what I have driven below). I was doing 140 and the third vehicle I encountered on the 118 mile back road between Tonopah and Austin Nevada was a highway patrol car with instant on radar.

It helps to know how to talk to cops (retired attorney, but never tell a cop that; act and talk like a judge, confident in a low, slow, and respectful voice). I managed to get written up for 80 in a 70 and had the option to go to traffic school in Tonopah to keep even that moving violation off my record.

The only free legal advice I ever give is, when something bad happens, shut up and talk to a legal specialist ASAP. My on legal experience is mostly in the Federal Courts (nobody cares how fast you drive on the reservation, except in a school zone) but my son-in-law works for one of our SoCal DWI mills and he has some real stories to tell.

[spaceage]

+1 on this....

Of course past results are no indication of the future, but in my experience, the best thing you can do with cops is be passive, don't outright deny anything they are saying, but don't admit either. For example, when officer says "do you realize I got you on radar going 100 mph", don't say "no way, you're crazy, F you, etc etc" say "ok wow I'm sorry, I didn't realize how fast I was going, I wasn't paying attention and was doing/thinking x. Obviously if I was going that fast its not a good idea and I should be paying more attention." 90% of the time, they are so surprised that you aren't arguing, they will talk it over and let you go.

"how do you guys stay within the speed limit?"

yea, I don't.
