joined the ranks
  Crappy cell pics but Well I finally joined the M3 club. I was going to order new but I came across a used 08 fully loaded DCT locally with only 5700 miles, the only thing it didnt have was the CF roof and FR interior but I had to look past that considering I stole this for $42k. I came from an 06 STI so I'm still getting used to the dct...to be specific a few embarrassing 1st gear bucking bronco incidents. I think I'm used to feathering a 6mt clutch/throttle. It seems the M3 just wants to go without hesitation. The 220m wheels have some curb rash so I'm trying to figure out whether I want to have the dealer fix them (quoted $500) or sell the winter set of M wheels and winter tires that came with it and parlay that into some 359's. I think my first and maybe only mods will be a nice front lip, exhaust and BMW performance trunk lip. I really hope I never get used to all the looks I get driving. ///m in love.

How in the world did you find an '08 with only 5700 miles? This is a barn find. Nice job, nice car. Congrats

I thought you were talking about joining the ranks of those who've dined at Red Robin. Man was I wrong!
Nice car, and good luck with her!

I bought the car from a widower. Her husband spent the last 2 years fighting in a hospital before he passed. Sad but his car is in good hands. |

On a side note, we have something in common. A moonroof. There are not many non-black coupes on this board with moonroofs. Again congrats.

Congrats on the M! When I get my M3 later this summer, I'll be coming from a highly modified WRX. What are your impressions compared to your STi?

Overall the M feels light years ahead in fitment and quality and I don't see myself looking back. |
