2015 BMW M3
This has been one
of my dream cars since I was a boy.
The first M3
came out in 1986 when I was a student at Manchester University. I went to the showroom from time
to time to sit in it. The salesman
tolerated me. I told myself,
“one day”. And today is
that one day. This 2015 grey
metallic M3 is now my mount. It is
awesome. I have never driven a car
that has 431 bhp. The most impressive
part of driving it is its torque.
Everything is now so instant.

My new M3 has
all the extras. Grey metallic
outside, full merino leather inside.
With the optional adaptive M suspension, I can set it to cruse in
comfort mode and to race in sport mode.
Apart from the sound of the engine, which I do not enjoy too much, the
Harmon Kardon Surround Sound System with 600W and 16 speakers (can you find
them?) is more than capable of playing Mahler symphony 3 faithfully. The Head-Up display ensures that I do
not need to take my eyes off the road ahead. The 7-gear M dual clutch transmission
retires my left foot. At night, the
Adaptive LED Headlight lets me see afar.
Comfort Access Keyless opens the door for me without me looking for my
keys. The 19 inch M wheels ensure
that the car is firmly planted on the road, especially around corners.
Given that HK
Govt levies 115% tax for new car, my M3 is not cheap, nor value for money. I reckon that for my Hong Kong M3, I can
buy a M3 in the UK, and have enough left over to pick up a BMW i3. However, does that matter? Is it just a car, or is it a dream comes
true. The real question is: what is
next? I suspect it is going to be
an electric, zero emission and green super car that “floats”.
