What cars you owned before m3?

Kasé Zomé · 10-06-2011, 08:22 PM

In order of ownership:

1994 Honda Accord EX coupe (parents paid for this instead of 4 years of private college)
1997 Suzuki GSX-R 750
1965 Ford Mustang
1998 Nissan Altima SE
1999 Yamaha R1
198x BMW 318i
2001 BMW 330ci (coupe)
2001 Honda RC51
199x Geo Storm
2003 Ford Focus SVT
2003 Kawasaki ZX6-RR
1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo Hardtop
2003 Ex-Graves Yamaha Super Sport R6 (race bike)
2008 Mitsubishi Evo X MR
2010 Toyota Tundra 5.7L 4WD
2008 Lexus SC430
2011 BMW M3

I'm pretty much a bike guy so when I had bikes, I didn't care that I drove a beater but now that I'm married and can't have a bike, I got the M3 to (somewhat) satisfy my need for corner speed...

It looks nice and feels pretty quick as a 1900kg car. I owned 2003 sl500 before this sl550 and the sl500 was sluggish. Probably i get used to the lack of low end torque on the m3, i feel the sl550 is very powerful. Whenever i step on the gas, either rolling or at a stop, the wheels spin all the time. Always love the full leather wrapped interior, every piece you see, you touch is wrapped in leather. Only problem is even though i bought the car new and i test drove couple of them, all got rattle from the roof.
