Cant say I ever really had any type of "encounter". I have been a car enthusiast ever since I was a kid. Even at the age of 3, all I wanted was toy cars. I found out about the M3 through car magazines. I followed the car. For a long time, I simply couldn't afford it. When I could, I needed a car with better winter capability so I owned Audis for quite some time. I finally got to the point where I could buy the M3 as a complete self-indulgent toy and so I did. Over the years it has become legendary and the benchmark for the class. I just had to own one.
