M3 with other toys

RudyP · 05-13-2015, 11:28 AM

A little bit of vanity perhaps but wanted some posters of some of the toys for my man cave. Got some decent ones...

W/// · 05-13-2015, 12:00 PM

Needless to say, I'm very jealous. Those are some fine cars you have there. Pictures also turned out awesome.

buddalun · 05-13-2015, 12:09 PM

Your 993 makes me want to be fiscally irresponsible.

These will make excellent posters.

As stated in the other thread, your taste is impeccable OP.

dj_dub · 05-13-2015, 12:10 PM

Damn...that 993. I'm all about that right there!!

e92livin · 05-13-2015, 12:19 PM

993!! Which vehicle do you enjoy more the E9x M3 or the 996TT?

Lalit@autocouture · 05-13-2015, 01:31 PM

Thanks for sharing

Do you own the plane too? Looking to adopt a 27 year old by any chance?

This! Just made the 993 picture my background

Kwando · 05-13-2015, 01:53 PM

I would not be mad to have that 993 sitting in my living room no matter what the girl says.

GrahamDobbins · 05-13-2015, 01:56 PM

Why don't you have the M3 hood??

IcemanM · 05-13-2015, 03:15 PM

As I mentioned on another post, that 993. Drool. Funny, I noticed you snapped a photo behind a development I previously owned a few condo's in as rentals. Beautiful!

Good eye Graham.

Jet in Oz · 05-14-2015, 06:13 AM

Forget about the 4 wheel dreamboats ... am I the only one who noticed the paint job on the sky cruiser. Ferkin awesome

RudyP · 05-14-2015, 07:07 AM

Thanks guys! Appreciate the comments!

Graham - that's a very good observation. I hadn't noticed that. I think the photographer went a bit heavy on the photoshop. Will ask him to undo whatever he did there. The car is stock and does have the M3 hood.

e92livin - the 996T and M3 are pretty different beasts. My turbo has had some engine work and is around 650HP so it is much faster than my stock M3 but also stiffer, smaller, less practical, etc... Love the M3 as a daily driver and the 996 as a weekend beast.

IcemanM - I'm pretty sure I know which building you are talking about. Small world - that's 5 minutes from my house. I liked the visual background.

Jet in Oz - thanks for the compliment! I designed that paint scheme and am really happy with how it turned out. It has a matching red/black with deviated stitching interior as well. I'm biased but I think it looks very sharp.

GOLFFRR · 05-14-2015, 08:05 AM

very nice!

jra85 · 05-14-2015, 10:58 AM

Awesome setup! Is that a Turbo-look ("aero kit") 993 C4S from the factory? My dad has a 1997 C4S with the factory aero kit but it looks like a Turbo S minus the rear quarter panel intakes. Never seen a C4S that looks like a regular Turbo unless you added the parts aftermarket?

RudyP · 05-14-2015, 03:57 PM

The aero kit is a factory option - I'll double check the window sticker when I get home to see how it is listed. Could be a Canadian thing - the car was originally a Canada car - but I have seen others with it in the US as well.

That cracked me up!

OP only problem with your picture is the M3 is the weakest link among them...

Congrats, thats a nice collection!

RudyP · 05-15-2015, 10:27 AM

Nah, the M3's great - it's the most practical/fun car I've owned. Does everything I actually need (practical, room for 4, inconspicuous in simple black, works in the winter) while also doing what I want (fast, great/favorite engine, good handling, nimble, etc...). It's the ultimate Jack of all trades and if I had to downsize to one car, the one I would keep. I'd be sad though...

Strange, I can't find any pictures of cars with the factory aero kit that looks like the regular Turbo. They all have the Turbo S parts (like this one: http://sloancars.com/5127/1998-993-c...ck-30000-miles). Now I'm really curious what the build sheet says

Maybe you're right that it was a non-US option?
