  • 2008 BMW E93 M3 Convertible Review and drive out. Like the E92 only with no roof! This is me talking you through and having a drive around in my '08 BMW E93 M3. It's a great car with a super sounding V8 engine. It's almost too good at everything it does. The only thing it doesn't do particularly well is in the looks department, it's not a million miles off looking like a normal 3 series. I don't mind that though and it gives it extra stealth appeal! For the money though, a V8 engine, rear wheel drive, back seats, convertible hard top, dual clutch 7 speed transmission - I'm not sure of any car that matches up to this, I don't even think there is one, let me know if you think otherwise...

    Hi. I also have an E93 M3 on a 98 plate, and judging by the video footage, we don't live that far apart, a few miles at most. I enjoyed the footage but I would want to add that the M button is programmable to the level of 'mental' that you want. I am guessing that you must know this but it wasn't apparent in the video. The only mode you can't seemingly access outside of M mode is Power Plus, everything else can be dialled up. One thing I would like to know from you is how you got your roof to close on the key. I can open mine on the key but not close it.

    Thanks for the video. I used to own an e46 convertible and I loved that car. I'm getting the itch for another m car. Is your car lowered or do the wheels give it that effect?

    • @damos_cars
      @damos_cars  8 лет назад

      +Michael Greco it's a good question. Embarrassed to say that in all honesty I don't know the answer. The wheels were on it when I bought it, I do think it has slightly different shocks than standard so it probably is a bit lower that combined with the wheels gives the lower look. The later style wheels do help to keep it fresher looking.

Any advice?

      @damos_cars  4 года назад +2

      It's a clunky drive to get used to if its a DSG. They are easy enough though. They feel very solid and well built. It is a big engine though but it needs to be worked hard for things to get really scary. Just take it easy and you'll be fine. 17 is young for 414bhp though!!

    • @damos_cars
      @damos_cars  4 года назад +2

      Not if you do research and are happy with the history that comes with it. Regular oil changes, tyres, brakes etc. Rod bearings can be troublesome if it's been used too hard from cold. You can get it checked to see how many launch controls it's done, average miles per journey etc. That will help inform you. So long as you're happy go for it.

      @Dinami Ena If you're that worried then don't buy the car. It's a car. Things will break, perish and expire. Don't expect to have to pay nothing in garage bills. Factor in some contigency budget to get things sorted. It's an M3. It won't be cheap to fix when it does go wrong.
