You say 'parts bin' like it's an insult. The fact that the parts you speak of come directly from the M3 might be the problem here. Does that bother you? Help me understand?

Correction. You and Ken should get together with the 1M owner OP met.

Wrong. There was a poll in the 1M section and due to the horrible lease offers on the car, most are in fact purchased.
Does this answer your question? Seems to me that the only insults fueled by insecurity is coming from your camp.
