  1. You'll love it. I have a near identical one to featured here, 2011. Only purchased 2 yr.s ago with 44k miles, from moderate climate state and crucially--ONE previous owner. Many have 4 or 5 previous owners, to me that means no one "owned it" they only rented.

  2.  William Crawford  Cars are in general and this one a lot more than average. I didn't even think about it until my home was paid off along with everything else and you can't afford it if you can't pay cash up front IMO, with significant reserves leftover. That's true for any car beyond bare necessity.

  3. Totally simple and work well. I have come to like them a little more than the traditional style.

  4.  @SomeBartender  Cool. Let us know how it goes I always like to hear the experiences of others with this car.

  5.  @I_luv_sharmutas  It's not really an arm rest but a cover for the pass through door. Anyway how often do you see anyone in the back of one of these? I've only had more than one passenger a couple times in 2 yr.s.

  6. The signal controls are good, I slightly prefer them over conventional, they just take a day to get accustomed to.

  7. Exactly. It only changes throttle response, reduces "resolution", I don't use it but can see why some might like it.

  8. He's full of it, they work just fine and feel good.

  9. I very rarely use cup holder in mine. I like that BM has consistently ignored cup holder critics, if that's your priority you don't deserve such a car IMO.

  10. Who ever has passengers in the rear of these anyway? I've had mine for 2 yr.s and only ONCE had anyone in the back.

  11. It's pretty good and who's racing anyway? Not me. It's about the overall experience, turbos sort of suck (pun) in some ways. Low end torque is lacking but revs take care of that and a linear response is just better.

  12. To unlock the car you simply grab the door handle with fob in your pocket. Much prefer my all leather seats. Armrest on drivers side slides forward and back.

  13.  @TheMrwinkleberry  No need for that--DIY it just like any other car.

  14.  @andrez1142  He must have taken it to a dealer. I've changed all the fluids myself just like any other car, it's not especially difficult, I do pay a lot for fluids but NOT BMW prices!...let alone their labor rates. I'm guessing I'd have DIYed all that maintenance for a grand or less. It's not a Toyota, if you can't fairly easily afford, say $100 for motor oil and filter every 5k miles and maybe $700 for rear tires every 10 to 30k miles then it's not for you. For me it's worth it so far.

  15. Nothing wrong with the signals, it may take a day or two to get used to them and then you will like a little more or a little less than others. I have come to like it.

  16.  @spirosgal1885  To clarify--move it lightly to 1st 'detent' and it blinks one to three times depending on your selected settings, 3 blinks is typically perfect for most lane changes or merging, move it a little harder to 2nd detent and it behaves like any other signal staying on until your turn is complete and self cancelling. If one is hamfisted they may have a problem with it but they have no biz driving a car like this anyway IMO.

  17. I applaud BMW for ignoring decades worth of criticism of their cup holders, if that's one's priorities they deserve a rubbish Chrysler not THIS.

  18. These signals work excellent it only takes a day to get used to them.

  19.  @incognito96  I do and it's my fave but there are plenty others I've never even driven.

  20. Same here.

  21. Turns out they sell 'em to ANYONE. I bought one two yr.s ago. ;-)

  22. I have a nearly identical M3 and I agree the signals are fine, have grown to like them a bit more than others.

  23.  @RaGeAlucard  The one simple thing they needed to change was the damn dipstick and I believe they did go back to it.

  24.  @RaGeAlucard  I thought they back tracked on that but I don't follow closely cars I'm not shopping for. Yeah it's a flaw not having motor oil dipstick.

  25.  @RaGeAlucard  In all likelihood the E92 M3 will be my last BMW just because it will be my last ICE car. Hell of a good way to end the petrol era however.

  26.  @RaGeAlucard  2 yr.s ago I initially was looking for a nice E46 M3 but they were scarce with a manny and $20k plus where as E92's were 20 to $40k plus and I began to realize how big a step there was between the two in terms of power, tech, transmissions, interior.... Ultimately I just fell in love with the S65 V8. The worst user experience aspect of my 330 is the tranny, it's durable but not particularly pleasant to use, reviewers may criticize the E92 6spd but it's vastly better than the old 5spd.

  27. The turn signals work FINE. The power button only increases throttle sensitivity, sort of useless to me. If cup holders are your priority you don't deserve such a car.

  28. Same here. Turns out they sell'em to anyone, I bought one a couple yr.s ago so can you. Not so much luck as trade offs your willing to make.

  29.  @albanemini1274  You can pop it off and replace with another if you like, I think it looks good enough but I'm not fixated on trivialities.

  30. Me too and that's why i watch...to see what others think and maybe learn something I didn't but should have known.

  31. It's one of those silly unnecessary things, I'm thinking of pulling the fuse on mine so they don't wear out. Unless you are semi-incapacitated or obese it's not a problem to reach belts without the cheesy extenders.
    1
  32.  @dailypovs7800  That may be easy for you but the fuse is a no brainer for me, takes seconds and just as easy to reverse. Appreciate the thought tho.

  33.  @dailypovs7800  The extenders are fragile looking I might add, very light wt. at least. Another thing I'd delete is the silly headlight squirters, those are only useful on snowy roads, the LAST place I'll ever drive it. Less is more in some cases. I realize some put winter tires on them and drive in snow but that's a ridiculous use of this car IMO, total waste, may as well have a cheap Toyota and put up the M3 for winter.

  34. They are fine, feel good and one detent turns on for 1 to 3 blinks (depending on your settings, 3 for me) and ON until auto cancelling like any other car at second detent. I prefer them to traditional controls.
