M3 sighting in Spain

[Hollywood619]

So I am driving along miding my own business yesterday down a 6 lane main street here in Madrid and I get strafed by a Carrera 4. This is typical here as anyone with 2 euros to rub together thinks they are rich, so I ignore it. Then I hear a RIPPING V8 on the other side and I look over to see a new Ti Silver M3 chasing the Carrera. He catches him at the next light. It was a beautiful sight to see the back end of that M3 slide out (I kept up during this time). The V8 sounds amazing! If you have ever heard a 360 Modena it is very similar, just a little more muted. Anyway, the M looked to have taken the P-Car. They were pulling me so fast and even though I am a diplomat and have immunity, I let off at 100mph in a 60kph zone and they were still pullling.
BTW-The car was beautiful, all the strange bulges and crease you see in magazines and wonder how they will look in real life are gorgeous!

I agree about the bulge:it has to be seen in real life...not by pics.
Nice post...

Thanks for the information. However this is Silverstone II, as Titanium Silver isn't available on the E92 M3.

No Ti Silver? I thought I saw it as an option?

No. Silverstone II. It is the nearest to TiAg, but has a hint of blue in it. So every picture you see of what looks like TiAg, it is in fact Silverstone II.

The picture on the header above is Silverstone II.

I wish you had pics and video. But under the circumstances it would have been difficult. But then again you have immunity lol

Nothing a little straight piping can't fix. I honestly cannot wait any longer.....

If this wasn't such a well written account of an interesting encounter, I would have said:



But since you've done well, and the circumstances surrounding the incident were demanding, I say:



P.S. I have a good friend in the foriegn service in Bogota, and he doesn't have such good stories, where he is chasing 911s and M3s downtown at 100mph. I guess he's all focused on not getting kidnapped or something.

I thought the very same thing. Because it was well written I gave him a break. lol
