Moody because my ///M is gone

Scrippy · 10-12-2018, 11:57 AM

Car is having some paint and body work done and it's been gone for 3 weeks. Lol I'm finding that I'm a lil moody as a result. I was on vacation in Hawaii and couldn't wait to get home to my repainted car kinda. It's still not done and I'm grumpy as shit! I want Purl back!!!!!! Anyone gone through this type of withdrawal before? How did you cope?

The second i got word that my last e90m3 was totalled, i was all over searching for a new one, i couldnt find a replacement fast enough. So i know how you feel, luckily your car is being repaired and not replaced.

When my E46M was down for a month while I wrote up the rod bearing DIY while I completed the work I was quite down.

My E90 M blew up not long ago but fortunately I have the E92 M around to keep me company!

Hopefully you'll have your baby back soon. Life is too short to not drive M3s

Yep, when my ABS module was being rebuilt it took a few weeks. I would watch youtube videos of people driving their e9x M to try to get my fix. there's just nothing like the sound of that intake..

I do this daily but I could increase the dosage per your recommendation as it seems like the next logical step.

Sounds good my friend . Cheers !

Lol, my car was at the shop today getting tires and an alignment and I missed it. I usually gaze upon it from one of the windows in my office, so I was sad it was not there.

Just imagine how happy you will be when you get it back

Dealer had my jet black for 5 weeks. Insurance gave me a black Altima to keep me quiet. Altima was like a puppy dog in the big m3's parking spot those lonely days. I know the feeling!

LMFAO!

I love that you periodically gaze at your car from the office. I feel less obsessed now.

Lol an Altima! Great car on its own but as a temp replacement.......huge let down.

Scrippy · 10-12-2018, 10:11 PM

So I got it back at 5pm today. Two weeks of hurt lol. The dents from the San Fransisco psycho are gone and the rear bumper is brand new again! I may sleep in the garage tonight!

Let me guess, you rev'd it up a few times and took a few unnecessary/necessary detours on the way home

Enjoy it brother.

Timujin · 10-12-2018, 11:09 PM

I can relate. Got Mary back yesterday after two weeks and two days in the booty shop getting dat ass fixed. Did a 0-80 nannyless launch as soon as she got up to proper temps. Took the day off work and drove it all day today.
