I know it was probably not enough for my car and too much for the M3, but it was the color I wanted, fully optioned out, and at a dealer 5 minutes from my house. I have been looking for a year and have not seen this particular car anywhere - so I jumped on it when I saw it come available for sale.

So while I probably overpaid in the grand scheme of things it was an easy deal, did not take up too much of my time, and had it sitting in the garage before the wife could change her mind.

A few things happened the first time she drove it.

1. She started the car with the windows down in the garage, turned to me and said "this is a god damn race car, isn't it"

2. On the way to pick up our son at daycare she did not take it over 2500 RPM.

3. Comments how much nicer it rides than the 335

4. After I told her not to pull up to the curb and stay back about a foot because the car is very low to the ground, she drives right into it - just a little scratch but she is now banned from driving the M3!
LOL
FOREVER BANNED hahhahaha
