Back in the saddle (or drivers seat)
I’m ashamed to say today was the first day I’ve driven this baby in 14 months. Life gets in the way. It was good to remind me of how much fun this car really is. The fortunate thing about this one is that you mostly just have to start it up and go. The sa...
You’d have had something to look at too.
When I was hanging out someone came back in with their DB11, the only AM in the space actually.
From all I read and hear, from folks with far more car knowledge than I, you are not alone with that thinking.
Btw, did you ever have a license plate with “FastWong”.
I'd say that's worthy of being a long term hold!
What a machine! The S54 engine's strengths and weaknesses are well known. The 6 speed manual is good. Keep it as stock as possible and just enjoy it! A future classic! I will expect to see this machine on the Pebble Beach Concours one day, and definitely ...
That’s where I’m conflicted honestly.
My brain says keep keep keep, don’t be a fool. There were ~1800 of these produced for NA from 06-08, it’s not something one sees a lot. But my heart wants something else, which was the original plan. And unlike watches keeping this and another is not viab...
Yes, find more storage! That is the solution!
And you have to drive it more often! 14 months! Poor machine!
The Society For The Prevention of Cruelty To Motor Vehicles...
will be sending you a letter, reminding you to drive your car in the nice weather months! (joking of course)
I'm going to fathom a guess. I'm guessing Jay(Eire) wants to make room for a Porsche!
I really like BMWs. They don't have double wishbone suspension and this era of BMWs didn't even have fixed brake calipers. But the suspension tuning was just done so good, it's the perfect balance of sportiness and luxurious comfort. I had a V8 5 series B...
Agreed!
Porsche's new position is to raise prices on consumers by about 20% with moderate refreshes in about 2-3 years. Also, keep longer model lines (7-10 years instead of 7-8 years) to save on chassis redesigns with 1-2 facelifts instead of just one face lift. ...
I could actually remove it, it’s not as if it’s being used for anything.
I guess it’s just a reminder that this is a car from the past.
There’s a decent amount of modifications but all the original parts are in storage.
Wheels are APEX EC-7 18”. The suspension was modified to MCS double adjustable coilovers, Vorschlag front camber plates and an H&R adjustable front sway bar. The suspension was modified by the prior owner who races BMWs in the endurance race scene and was...
Very cool car
Drive it more. Tell us about the mods, it seems wheels, diffuser, exhaust and spoiler? They look great.
Love these M coupes...
Any M car is awesome, really, I had an ‘03 M3 years back...I do miss it, they just ooze cool! Please, try to get it out more often, it is a beauty!
indeed, once you loved an E46 M3 you never forget it
mine was a ragtop and my current m240i has same dimensions, same rag top, just some other more modern bits and pieces, but there was nothing like the smooth sound of that motor when it got warm.
