Sad to say I'm giving up my ///M3 ... Will miss you all!

Mr. ///M3 RD · 10-20-2013, 03:51 PM

I will bring her to the dealer in the morning and it be my last drive in the ///M3

I will pick up a new Mercedes E350 4Matic ... had to do this for private / health reasons. So I shall miss you all.

I shall look in once in awhile to see how you are all doing ... take care and drive safely wherever you go.

Cheers, so long good bye,

Rolf-Dieter

BTW my summer set wheels are for sale I paid $3,200- for this three piece forged 20" summer wheel set this past spring. Pictures in my ///M3 garage. I will keep the M3 Garage up until the wheels are sold. Pass the word, they would make a cool track set or summer set for someone. I don't think they have the same effect on my E350 Benz as they did on my former ///M3

Link to more photos is here ----> http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=903589

EDIT BELOW ....

Thank you everyone (also post 26 to 34).

My significant other has the health issues (arthritis and related illnesses) so driving the M3 for her was not an option (we tried) then in the end it was the best thing to do.

You know what they say "Happy wife. happy life" ....

Besides I drove 4 of those fine ///M3's for the past 10 years and will always have those found memories. Also all is not lost I have the old-timer a 1969 Pagoda 280 SL to have my fun with on sunny weekends

Thanks again everyone ... I will not be a stranger and drop in once in a while.

gblansten · 10-20-2013, 05:10 PM

Rolf cheers man. Enjoy that new E350. It's a beautiful car and the 4Matic will be great where you live.

Hurricane · 10-20-2013, 05:48 PM

Best of luck! Hope everything turns out ok. Don't be a stranger. You have had too many good posts to leave us cold turkey.

JFWM3 · 10-20-2013, 06:01 PM

We will miss you on the post Rolf-Dieter, buy I'm sure I'll be seeing you around town.

As for the wheels they are beautiful and I hated to give them up, but I had three sets of wheels! I'm also contemplating a set of 18" Advan's so I better pass.

Take care of yourself and don't be a stranger.

Prince_of_Persia · 10-20-2013, 06:29 PM

Rolf,

As others have said, we are not happy to hear that you have some tough challenges ahead. Your health is most important and I hope that you stabilize and preferably recover from whatever is ailing you. Your kind words, wisdom and perspectives will be missed greatly.

Be strong my friend, be very strong. We are here for you and don't forget that. We love yah man!

jtodd_fl · 10-21-2013, 09:08 AM

Rolf,
I am newer so never really got to know you, but it is remarkable that so many speak highly of you. You will love the E350 - my wife has one. It is a different car, but a wonderful one in its way too. More importantly, focus on what really matters. Get better and then come back!
