Maybe the 2016 Q7 with a TDI. Not sure when they are coming out but it should be soon. I want to like the X5's but the third row sucks and I don't care for the styling.

It was a joke, but I am glad that you now have options!

I thought you were trying to start the old coupe vs sedan debate.

My family has a house on Santa Rosa beach. i don't get down there enough but it must be a great place to have an M.

I feel bad for you, but I also feel glad for you. I know if that happened to me there's no way in hell I'd want to keep the car. I hope you can find something that will excite you like the M.

Unfortunately, my coupe spends most of its days under 50 mph... The beach is fun, but we have a shortage on racetracks and road courses in close proximity, and an even larger shortage of curvy roads!! I am from Atlanta originally, and I miss the saturday morning canyon runs through north georgia terribly! There are quite a few M's down here though, but more muscle cars than anything else.. Let's face it, the NA M3 is not really designed for light to light drag racing...

Sorry for ur loss. I definitely wouldn't want it back. Never the same. Gluck on ur new search.

Glad it worked out in your favor.

GVIFlyer · 09-23-2015, 10:27 PM

Ouch. Sorry.

This shit is fucked up. Whats this world coming to?! FING TREES FALLING OP PEEPS M3s jesus!

JohnnyRoaster · 09-28-2015, 01:13 PM

So I was going to give the car up and take the money from the insurance company. I heard from a forum member who tracked me down and he picked up the car yesterday. He had hit a manhole cover that took out his engine. He needed an engine donor and I was happy to see it go to a good home.

Jzambrano7 · 09-28-2015, 01:29 PM

Glad a positive came out of it. At least the spirit of your car will live on in another's. GL with your next move!

douglee25 · 09-29-2015, 09:02 AM

Good ending.

So essentially you bought it back from insurance and then sold it to him?
