I had a chance to sit in one of the E46 M3 press cars BMW had when I interned with them (there was an Imola Red, Laguna Seca Blue, and Phoenix Yellow, all sitting right in front of me). That's when I was hooked. Even got to drive the CSL in the parking lot!

My real love was the E92 M3. I absolutely loved the idea of a V8 that revs so high in an M3 (because I still absolutely love the E39 M5, so the E92 was the best of both worlds). I'll never forget that day. It was a Friday morning (9AM to be exact) in 2007, when the M3 was going to be unvailed live. I skipped class to watch it. And I'm sure some of you'll remember, as the M3 was driving on stage, the driver gave it a rev.

That's when I knew I was going to own an E92 M3. 5 years later, I go to the garage and pinch myself just to make sure I'm not dreaming. That Sparkling Graphite M3 is mine. The goal of owning my dream car, has been achieved.
