Even riding as a passenger, there was no comparison as to which car was more composed and had better grip.

I don't know of any forum members around the Denver area with a E9x M3, but I'll certainly stop by a dealer for a drive. I have driven a E90 335xi (Steptronic), E92 335i (6MT), and E93 335i (Steptronic), so I've certainly felt the "heft" of the 3's compared to my 1er.
South, do we have any members in the Colorado/Denver area with an M3 Jason might be able to reach out to ?

Colorado M3 owners thread

Jason,

I just found this thread. Maybe its worth throwing a post in there asking for some help from the community. I'm sure they'd be willing to lend a helping hand.

I am wondering that as well. Did they chose 12 people at random from all applicants and just make sure at least 1 was a bimmerpost member. Or did they limit it to only 1 bimmerpost winner total, in which case maybe it was better odds to not enter as a bimmerpost member

There is total around 4000 people around the world registered to this event. So if U register this event by yourself, the chance will be 11/4000 which is much less than the chance though this forum.

There are very few things that get me jealous in life, and this is certainly one of them!

Congrats Jason! Have fun on your trip!

Congrats mate! Enjoy.

Will be good to read your comparison between the 1M and the E46 M3 I see you have (had), if you could do that.

Congrats to both you (John) and JasonCSU on winning!!

Looks like we'll have 1M perspective from both a 135i and E46 M3 owner

Fixed! :-)


HELLO ALL!!

I don't own a 1 series, however I have coveted one for years, particularly am M version... I own an E30 M3, and I guess I make the third of the twelve. I have owned two E30 M3s over a 15 year period, the current is a dedicated track car, and it is actually currently getting an S54 transplant... the motor is in route.
I've been a member of this forum quite awhile, however not an active one, as I typically am found most often on S14.net. I'll be spending more time on E46 pages due to the swap..

PM sent to Jason, and I will send one to John in barcelona as well. So two from the US, one from Spain... curious as to the location/origin of other invitees...

Oh... and I *have* driven an E92 M3 on the track... back in 2008, but if someone wants to let me drive theirs for a more immediate comparison... I wouldn't say no. LOL

Looks like we'll have THREE different perspectives after the event then!

Congrats to you as well
