Test drove E92 M3, M4, M235i and Mustang. Found my next car!

I absolutely know what you mean. The main thing for me with the PP is the better gearing. The poor gearing in the non PP was the reason for that 430hp feeling slow. Also, Ford is not known for their auto trans so that took away from some of the feeling as well. The mustang was a very comfortable place to be in though. Seats were great and cooled my butt to sub zero temperatures lol. Apple Carplay and new sync system next year will certainly be a welcome addition too.

Your '16 is gonna be amazing. Premier trim, sync 3, PP manual. I know you're gonna love it!

One thing to note about the Mustang... the automatic (which you drove) is not available with the Performance Package which includes all of the necessary performance features outside of the engine like dampers, tires, steering/traction/stability calibration, etc. What you drove is basically the "cruiser" version of the car.

There is a massive difference between the non PP and PP Mustangs, much like with the previous generation. I would certainly not be happy with a non-PP car.

Man oh man i love M3s, especially in white! If i was to trade in my Z, this would be a solid replacement. I know very little about these cars, so the only thing i would be looking into would be reliability, altough i assume you might have done that already.

Ya I was very concerned about reliability. Fortunately the S65 engine is truly amazing. Got international engine of the year award consecutively from 2008-2012 for V8's. I'm also gonna take it in to a indie BMW shop to check everything and get anything fixed under bumper to bumper warranty. Not to mention sending in oil for analysis.

Sounds like a plan then

Hope you enjoy her
