Followed a Gray or Dark Silver ///M3 today on the 403
Brought home this evening my new M3 (AW/BLACK with M-DCT ~ yes I switched) anyway it was a great drive along the 403 and 401 Westbound.
Spotted a nice ///M3 in front of me just west of Hamilton followed him for quite a bit until the traffic jam clear up. Then he decided he had enough of me and took off like an arrow Naturally I could not follow him with less then 62 Miles (100 KM) on the odometer so I let him go. I think it was a dark gray exterior colour (photo below I snapped it with my iPhone when traffic came to a stop yes we too have rush hour here out east ) .... Ontario Plates ... was it one of you fellows ? Hmmmm Time was approximately 18;25 anyone going west on the 403?

Take care, Rolf and have a Happy Holiday Weekend PS. with all this I may have broken a record by purchasing or getting into three M3's in one year. I don't think too many people do this anymore

Great looking car. Same as mine in all respects except for the transmission (mine is MT) and the Novillo in mine is extended (not that anyone could ever tell with a black interior). I sometimes wish I went with DCT - but I still love rowing my own (and in my case thankfully my wife doesn't drive). Did like your previous blue M3 as well, as there are not that many of them around. I had no choice as some dickwad smashed my side mirror - but the OEM CF mirror covers do look great on an AW M3. I just added Macht Schnell 12mm rear and 15mm front spacers with the stock 220's and it improves the stance, and feels good from a handling perspective. Being an old guy like you - I don't believe in mods as the folks in Germany do a pretty good job from the factory, but I am happy with these two minor modifications. I am thinking of getting back into track days in which case I will probably get some GTS wheels, and assign the 220's for the track. I used to do track days quite a bit 20 years ago in my RX7 and 10 years ago in my 911, and look forward to getting out there again. |

Its amazing how someone's opinion changes AFTER they get one....... No doubt DCT, PDK et al are faster and the way of the future, at this point given the option I like the involvement of the third pedal and that driving experience. I can see how someone your age would opt for the auto though! |

Watching cars out the front window can be more fun than looking in the mirrors I think that was the guy in a black 996 GT3 on Nt01's that you are talking about.
