Random spotting... came across this blue E90 M3 on Google Maps parked on King West. Don't think it is anyone here but worth a shot. Nice roof rack!

I was going 401 eastbound entering 404 junction going northbound towards steeles around 11pm last night. I was in the gunmetal 135i with full BMW Performance kit and you were the dark silver e92/e93 M3 with CSL rims that exit on steeles. Not sure if he's on the forum but it looked spankin' clean.

Spotted e90 jerez black M3 sedan at plaza parking lot by Yonge/Steeles around 4pm. Forgot your tag name on here Steve but it was great meeting ya and enjoyed the brief chat. I hope i didn't catch you off guard by taking a pic just when you and your family were leaving the sushi restaurant. lol

The AA exhaust/DPE/H&R drop really sets off the car! I really need to stop lurking around the M3 forums. =)

I wish i got a side/front shot, hopefully next time. =) The timing was funny b/c i took a pic then i suddenly drove off b/c i had to drive my mom to her car. My gf who was also in the car called me a stalker. lol

I've seen a black E92 M3 with a custom plate 'MUTATE' around yorkville a few times. Saw it tonight in hazleton lanes parking on the whole foods level... anyone?

2000gsr · 04-08-2010, 07:56 AM

Spotted grey e92 m3 with blacked out m3 badge in ACC east parking lot last night at Raptors game.

what does an international drivers license do for you? I was heading to germany for a couple weeks later this month and was hoping to rent something for a cruise of the autobahn, do I need something like this to drive abroad?

No your good. Generally the international drivers license is good mostly for translation purposes so you don't run into language barriers. I have rented cars all over and a Canadian issued license is fine. Doesn't hurt to get one though, but you have to carry both.
Not all countries drivers license's are recognized globally, but I have never run into an issue with a Canadian one.

SlammedR8 · 04-15-2010, 09:45 AM

Where were those pics taken? Looks like Promenade Mall?

Thanks Jay!

I'm not sure, but I was told I should probably have one for Japan I probably won't even rent a car there, but it's just in case. Those pictures were taken at Alton Towers, by McCowan and Steeles.

I believe an international drivers license is required for Austria.

I had to get one when I went two years ago. Also had to get a reflective vest and a highway tax sticker, but rentals usually have that taken care of.

kmac1980 · 04-15-2010, 10:14 PM

OK, awsome spotting today, check this out, downtown at the queen's quay LCBO. I actually spoke to one of the two guys, was pretty cool, but not on the board:

Probably a lot cooler than most of us who spend countless minutes and hours a day on this forum!
