I had one of those... for just 9 months
It was powerful and comfortable and handled to my liking but it growled loudly on first ignition - enough that my family hated it - and didn't have any of the "grace when you want it and power when you want it" of my beloved 6 cylinder M3's ( take your pick but the E46 was the sweetest)
My wife dubbed it "the imposter"
Some thoughts on the BMW M3 E 92.
You cannot imagine how excited I was when one of my friends offered me to play with his M3 E 92 for a road trip in the South of France. When you love cars, there are some which make you dream, and needless to say that the M3 is one of them. I dreamed of t...
Fun machine!
Yes... It's worrisome to borrow low cars from friends. I generally won't take the risk. We don't have the Alpine sports car in USA, but a friend has offered me his Alfa Romeo 4C many times - the closest car to the Alpine that was ever imported to USA. But...
Tres bon tres bon!
I still don't want to drive yours - the responsibility and risk is too great. When you come visit, you can drive my Mercedes or Tesla. And I will choose a stretch of road that I know has no major undulations nor speed bumps.
Driving a 2022 right now. Super capable engine and chassis let down by numb steering, as with many current BMWs.
The Alfa Giulia feels much more connected. You can play around with the AWD / RWD on this one, though 😀 ...
Very cool car!
Haven't driven the 2022s. But I generally always like the BMW 3 series. It's just a great comfortable car that's a perfect balance of everything. Also, it's important to note, the BMW 3 series and M3/M4 series is the only one that is still a MacPherson st...
I would consider it if only they sold them here in USA!
Might need to find a little house in France or Germany. Get an Alpine. And use it to run around Europe. We can visit all the watch factories!
I don't see that likely.
Yes, they've made announcements suggesting that. But no dealership is going to take on that risk. Open a small brand like Alpine? With a limited product line? If Stellantis allows Dodge and Ram dealerships to put a small shop in shop inside their existing...
We'll see!
Do Americans really want Renault? I hope they do bring the Alpine though! More choices are always good for the consumer!
Wonderful write-up and car my friend
There is something special about that high revving 8 cylinder, melodic exhaust note and superb chassis. Now. Hope you enjoyed it. Since you damaged it, your friend will never loan it to you again! 😢
