Hello everyone. I have been a long time lurker and first time poster. I had two M3s (E36) back in 98. One of the best cars that I have owned. Now I am back in the fold... I have already learned a ton from this forum. Let the modding begin.

I just sold:

To get:
Fully Loaded 09 Coupe. Just put on the clear bra and the clear front reflectors.

The other two babies:

Thank you all. Speedtrap, I only have a 100 miles on it. I will let you know once I have broken it in. Yes it was a twin turbo with 580HP and 550 lb/ft of torque. The acceleration, braking and overall dynamics is amazing. The handling is pretty good too, but a little soft.

Thanks. I feel a little funny about the msile plate on the M3. It was fitting on the 911TT.

Why the change?

Bored?

No

. I felt a little guilty with having such an expensive car as a weekend car with the economy the way it is. So traded it in and put some cash in the bank.
The plan is to get the TT with direct injection in 2010 (depending on the economy) and use the M3 as a track car.

i noticed that your driver seat looks like a euro bottom but the passenger does not. what's with that? did you get euro bottoms?

Is that the way all 09's are being built now?

BTW, congrats, welcome, and love the collection!

positiveions · 11-27-2008, 02:58 PM

Good stuff

Deda · 11-27-2008, 03:10 PM

congrats!

ajminn · 11-27-2008, 03:19 PM

after a closer look, it looks like the bottom is a euro seat, but the thigh bolsters are american (i.e. they don't have that high triangle portion at the front). VERY, VERY interesting.

spyderco10 · 11-27-2008, 03:43 PM

the driver's seat looks like speed cloth and the passenger's looks like leather

spyderco10 · 11-27-2008, 03:44 PM

by the way, nice supra. that car is a classic

jaay11 · 11-27-2008, 04:24 PM
