I drove my car for the first time in two weeks, during which period I drove my son's late-model Corolla 1200 miles all over the state of Florida. So today I realized once again -- intellectually and viscerally -- that an e9x M3 is, in fact, a supercar. All hail the S65.

Might not be the fastest on the road anymore, but the s65 has a fantastic personality. Let's just say it's extremely extroverted and is slightly... an attention whore... just slightly

Prepared the new gauge faces for installation into my cluster. Pretty good match to the IND red M/Start buttons!

I think I've just found my favorite wheels. Probably a noob question, but what are they?

just did both of those myself, loving the MPE, just the right balance of noise and tone (at least for the E93, might be a bit quiet for a coupe). Not sure if it's connected to the better response from the Alpine tune, but the howl at 2700rpm is awesome, sounds really exotic.

Rained most of the day, so not much other than a Home Depot run. One week since getting the new bumper (restore/respray), digging it thus far.

Sucked in a sparrow through the lower intake while going for a spirited drive. Looks like there was a pillow fight in my engine bay. Fail

Spending the afternoon checking out a few E92 in the area. Hopefully one of them will be mine by the end of the day but we will see. Only the second one I've gone to see in the past 8 months that's the spec I want.
