my enthusiasm for bmw is not what it used to me, but i loved the original and second generation m3, and think your car is pure like those were. Fantastic car, congrats.

My condolences for your loss. Sometimes life just deals you a bad hand.

[QUOTE=boerge;11553678]You mean downgraded? Over 300 hp and 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds stock, thats an upgrade on every level not to mention much newer.

Neat car. Not a huge fan of the lines, but I've driven a slightly modified 135i, and it was impressive. I loved my 97 M3 Sedan. If the work required to make them reliable 500WHP cars wasn't over 100K (TRACK RELIABLE) I'd still have one.

Great car! I had a 335is as a daily driver along with the 951. Modern, fast, reliable, luxury -- what's not to like! Great motor in a great car! Having said that, I ditched the BMW but will never ditch the 951.

Is that a 1M? If so it was a smart purchase.

Dang,

Those lines remind me of the infamous E30 M3 in the rear. I'm kinda liking your new ride. If the front fender lines matched, I'd like it more.

Realize I love cars, and all folks that feel similar. I don't give a **** about the mark, I'm a fan of good engineering. My daily is a Hyundai Genesis R Spec. This sedan is one of the finest sleepers I've ever owned, and I've had a few.

Solid car, enjoy. I have a E30 M3 and had a 1M for 3 weeks, the dealer offered me 7500 to buy it back for a very good customer that had to have a VO and my options. The GM is a fraternity brother and now that I want a i8 when my Tesla lease is up he is hooking me up.
