Getting the MT makes all the difference!

[@TommyLGarage]

Nick Murray only way to fully connect with the car.

[@apex9525]

Tom Lawrowski I heard that the manual doesn’t fit the M4‘s engine

[@TommyLGarage]

Apex 95 I heard the M4 is actually an M3 with two doors... :)

[@apex9525]

Tom Lawrowski sorry, my bad.. still the same car, basicially

D L my whole family don't know how to drive stick, that's why I bought stick lmao.

[@chrisc8512]

This is my favourite TLG video of all. Long trip to somewhere far away to pick up your pride and joy and the long journey home with your new car and stopovers etc.. Great adventure.

[@TommyLGarage]

I wanted to do a repeat with the Porsche but COVID :(

[@xZeppable]

Nice car but the service bmw gave you was shocking, the first drive assistant didn’t have a clue what he was talked me about and the sales guy put the plate on the paint what an idiot

[@TommyLGarage]

Zepp thank you for taking the time to watch it. And I agree. The best thing is that the dealership tried stealing the rear carbon fiber diffuser that was on the car and the carbon fiber handbrake. Luckily I noticed and they gave it back. For the diffuser I was told they took it off during detailing. Well 1. The car was never detailed and 2. Some guy pulled up in his m3 and took it out of the trunk of his car. Now, two months later, I will do not have my registration

[@xZeppable]

Tom Lawrowski yeah, it’s not right they should give you what you’ve paid for not try and take it back after sale I’m a big fan of bmw but I find all the do is lie will try any trick to save money like the new M140i came from factory with a faulty exhaust rattle at cold start and they try saying it’s normal

[@TheseUncertainTimes]

Tom Lawrowski that’s super shady. What’s the story, did they admit to this and install them back before you drove off?

[@TommyLGarage]

Zepp they never admitted to anything. Some guy pulled up in his m3 and took it out of his trunk. Best thing is that I've got photos. They wanted to steal it since in order to take it off you have to put the OEM back on. And for the brake handle I made them send me a new one - they did. The spec sheet also had a first aid kit listed - they of course took that as well. I didn't make a big deal about it. Just wanted to get out of there. Now, over two months later, I am still waiting for my registration. Spoke to them last week and they told me they realized a signature was missing (whatever that was) so it will take a few more weeks. By far the worst experience ever.

[@TheseUncertainTimes]

Tom Lawrowski Report then to BBB and BMW corporate. Write a bad Yelp review.

So much props on getting Manual transmission 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Dct is also a finominmal system. The instant gear change is great. Just saying

[@TommyLGarage]

I didn't even know bmw made MT anymore. Now I'm going to start looking for one. Your car has me sold!

[@TommyLGarage]

Kam Beard I’m glad. Most are DCT I believe and it’s almost close to impossible to test drive a manual M.

[@fresskoalbanese]

I fucking love this Bmw, but what I like most is that this BEAST is manual👌🏼

[@TommyLGarage]

Fressko Albanese it is an amazing machine. I can't imagine owning it with a DCT. Manual, though slower, keeps my fun level high every time I drive it hehe

[@M0nk3ychamp]

Idk why these automatics shift better and faster.. no reason to get manuals anymore

[@salimmohd3750]

you can say that again and again manual is the one

[@user-ox5bi7ql6y]

I am a diehard manual fan as well but Europe drives manual because it is cheaper and their 1 litre engines dont work with an automatic. Most high end cars like the m3/m4 have a higher manual take rate in the US than in Europe.

[@Noobie250r]

Great video Tom :) Nice to see a bit more of the different settings than we usually get from a review. I couldn´t help smiling when you couldn't sleep and had to get back to the M3 in the middle of the night and drive on :D Reminded me of the first time I bought a brand new superbike (1000cc Kawa) many years ago.. Couldn't sleep and had to get out of bed several times the first night, looking out the bedroom window, checking the bike really was there and I wasn´t dreaming :D :D

I’ve got a bunch of other videos in the works so stay tuned hopefully they can resonate with you. I have a friend who is very much into motorcycles and I have to say that I understand your passion

[@Skrydstrup9]

Hi Tom. Congratulations with the car. Its a beauty! And I really like the way that your wife cares so much about you/her family "how do you like driving it? - and your happy?". She really seems sweet and carring :) You can really tell from her expression that it really means the world to her. Take care :)

[@leonid4781]

The car is amazing, wish I could afford one, but what I hate about all the new cars are their infotainment systems and all the different options you get which makes you think every time you get in the car how would you like to drive it and then set all of that up, make a good combination of options and then start driving. 10-20 Years ago cars were so much simpler you just get in and drive however you want! I mean you could do that still but when you have so much different options you just couldnt leave it in one.

[@TommyLGarage]

I love these systems but they’ll date these cars a lot faster. I imagine this technology will be super outdated 20 years from now

[@ardalanshabestari3437]

Great vid Tommy. Thanks for sharing.

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks for digging it out!

[@LarsFassmer]

Why did you turn of the AC?

[@TommyLGarage]

Lars Fassmer you get more HP like that

[@loksgood1918]

Very nice.... did you get that C.F. piece for the ebrake. And was this in west allis WI?. I took my bmw there.. they are as useless as my blinkers.

[@TommyLGarage]

Loks Good I ended up bringing it up and they bought me a new one. Also they wanted to steal my carbon fiber diffuser. Unreal. And it's about an hours north of Chicago. Not sure what town. But bad.

[@mart182003]

I hope I can afford one of these soon. Good job getting the manual transmission.

[@TommyLGarage]

Mike Gose thanks for watching! It took me years to be financially comfortable to buy one. Your time will come!

[@rickmcintosh3570]

Love that blue

[@TommyLGarage]

rick mcintosh thanks! I have a love hate relationship with it. It's an attention grabber which I don't really like but it's so pretty to look at...

[@rickmcintosh3570]

Tom Lawrowski I see your point.

[@davesdetailing999]

great video. how many times did that radar detector save you on your way back? you were hauling ass the entire way back which im sure was pretty awesome

[@TommyLGarage]

Daves Detailing oh man this thing saves me on a daily basis. No joke. And it’s about 12 years old !

[@davesdetailing999]

Tommy L Garage that’s interesting- what kind of radar detector is it ? Must be good if you’re able to do 90 all the way back haha

[@TommyLGarage]

Daves Detailing passport escort 8500. Was top of the line back in the day. It’s still good today

[@davesdetailing999]

what do you do for a living to afford a sweet car like that?

[@TommyLGarage]

Rachel: Oh! Oh gosh, it has something to do with numbers. Monica: And processing! Rachel: Oh, well... and he carries a briefcase! Ross: Ten seconds. You need this or you lose the game. Monica: It's, um, it has something to do with transponding. Rachel: Oh, oh, oh, he's a transpons... transponster!

[@FugalBaboon]

Major reason I'm getting a computer science degree. Can't wait to get an m car!

[@TommyLGarage]

FugalBaboon good luck! You can do it. Work hard and dreams will come true.

[@jonathanpinkett5439]

This, by far my favorite upload by you. In about two months I will be doing a " first pick up " also. The only thing better would be doing the pick up in Germany

[@TommyLGarage]

Wishing you best of luck !!!

[@darrenbrown7568]

Has the car been lowered by Bmw ?

[@TommyLGarage]

No. Indy. I have since installed MPerformance suspension (see my latest video l)

[@collinsylvester7495]

Great video! Im so happy for you! I want to ask; i see during the video you go from 4th gear, and then you engage in fifth, and rapidly go right into 6th gear. I was told as a child that this burns out the clutch. Is this true and or different with the newer vehicles ?

[@TommyLGarage]

Hey - thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words. Skipping gears is quite common if you do it right. Going from, say, 3rd to 6th is ok if you rev it up in 3rd and let the rpm drop before you go into 6th. I’ve been doing this for many many years with no real negative effects.

[@christogoal7798]

i love the way that color looks on that M3. i have a bmw x5 in navy blue and I'm thinking on getting the M3 on manual of curse when my lease is over prolly not that color i was thinking maybe a gray or white cause i live up north and the snow etc... GREAT CAR AND CONGRATS
