M3 M-DCT

[TruAzn100]

every time i watch a video of the bmw m3 i get more intrigued and in love with the car.

[andrewgsupbrah]

question that nowhere is being answered......how do you start it? is it like an automatic where you just press the acceleration pedal and go or is there so sort of buildup and gear required?

[BiagioBaller]

@andrewgsupbrah To start a e92 M3 DCT you simply put your foot down on the brake and push the Start/Stop button. Then you move the gear leaver to the right once for manual, and twice for automatic.

I was trying to decide if I should get the M3 or a GTR am starting to lean towards the M3 because I believe it's more fun to drive, and I like to go sideways here and there. I'll still have to test drive both before making a decision. I also think the M3 sounds better stock compared to the GTR. I don't want to pay $70K and still have to install custom exhausts.

[resellworld]

@Anoon I was in your same situation not too long ago.

M3 all the way

Its just better all around

[Anoon]

@resellworld Thanks for the advice, I now have my eyes inbetween the M3, M5 and M6. I just test drove a M6 yesterday, and I was really digging that car. I'm about 2 weeks away from pulling the trigger on something.

[resellworld]

@Anoon Oh, thats awesome!

Upload a video when you do.

Currently, between the M5 and the M3 I think that the M3 looks better/cooler, while the M5 has more power, obviously.

BUT, the new M5 makes it hard to choose between the 2 again....its a never ending loop of switching back and forth because they are both awesome in their own ways

[allodesousa]

most boring M3 video I have ever seen

[MrBskt10]

I love the purr of a V8.

[hurley3222]

there is no clutch pedal cuz clutch is automatically timed but u still shift

[vartkez187]

HKSWRXSTI yes it is 4.1 0-60 smartass do your research b4 commenting, for dct its 4.5 and 4.1 using launch control

[DonnnyKhg]

how can it be the car is MANUAL and u drive on D ? lol can u put the car on automatic too ?

[wilpwnsyou]

Manual now a-days isn't just your standard stick gearbox. Although I prefer that. The paddle shifts on the new series cars means less time for gear change, quicker response, and it gives you the automatic flawlessness of a change. No more grinding, thus fucking your clutch, gears, or linkage up anymore.

[kimmyjed]

WHAT A PRICK U NEED A MINI

[haqeem18]

200_?bmw m3 200_?

[qnzwill]

stop fucking shifting at 4000rpms and floor the dam thing

[Mehecanogeesir]

OMG WIN^

[gman77dt]

bmw is the best car in the market whether it be for performance or quality or comfort absolutley the best

[oBseSsIoNPC]

Amen brother!

[chbrules]

@gman77dt

I've owned 4 BMWs so far (and I'm young), and I'm leaving next weekend to pickup my new E92 M3 in Munich. I love their cars to death, but they aren't the best in any of those categories. Maybe the best combination thereof, but not individually. ///M power!

[MPowerRACING]

Why would you have it in auto!!!?

You shouldn't be sporting this car if you keep it in D! lol

[litoak47]

The whole point of the engine is no shift shock in auto.

[MPowerRACING]

I have an e92 with dct and it drives like shit in auto from the 5 seconds I've experienced haha

As the driver you can control how smooth the shifts are by practice

[HKSWRXSTI]

StreeTRaceR008 Lol there is no way an m3 would have gotten 4.1 unless it was modded idiot. all u look is at horsepower, u need to look at the weight, torque, and horsepower

[djsankris]

Pedazo caldeiro.y a parte el que lo conduce es un manta de cojones

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

fuck the c63, I would get this.

[Tommy493]

absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!§

[b0nes2]

With M drive, can you select when it shifts? Like closer to redline?

[lunchboxafterhours]

idk but you dont really need to cuz it still accels when shiftin wich is kinda sick

[nuclearspike]

Yes, you can either put it in one of the 5 preset driving modes (from comfort to sport) or use the paddle behind the steering to control the shift points manually.

[christiaanck]

PLEASE!!! Can anyone give me a 0-100km/h figure on a M3 Convertible M DCT. BTW your car sounds awesome!!! I want to buy one but my final incentive would be the 0-100 figure...

[theguy459]

I think it is 0 to 100km/h for the convertible is 5.1sec,for the sedan it is 4.7sec,and for the coupe it is 4.6sec

[StreeTRacR008]

No, those are BMW's numbers, in car magazine tests, they've gotten 4.1 for both the sedan and coupe, and the convo will prob get around 4.7, no mag has tested it yet.

[peteynum1]

Im jealous!!!!!

[DSHADYONE]

Sweet way to go smsqtb from a fellow M3Post Member.

[huevon14200006]

How is the automatic with the new M-DCT? I have an E46 M3 with SMG but putting it in automatic is useless. You'll get really dizzy with it. Is the new one better ???

[smsgtb]

I did have SMGII and M-DCT is nothing like it...extremely quicker, faster, smoother and all out way better

[go2ahmed]

i dont' agree with you there.. SMGII is not reliable not quicker or smoother than MDCT

go test drive this one and you'll know what im talking about

[theguy780]

i think he was trying to say that the MDCT is quicker,faster, smoother and all out way better then the SMG2

[StreeTRacR008]

Dude, test drive one? He has one. He said the DCT was better than the SMG

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

I have test drove on and it is SOOO much smoother and better

[supraman3241]

WHERE ARE U LOCATED?

[smsgtb]

Germany

[acombia]

it really goes much smoother; no head shacking anymore!
