Jose's went through the frame. It was actually a little easier with his frame becuase the holes were bigger than the black frame.

Yeah. He got the chrome plastic frame. I remember thinking the same thing when I hooked his car up because it was so much more snug than mine and MJ's...Actually, I set up Jose and MJ's car even better than my car! That's what I get for being the guinea pig for my own mounting format...Zipties FTW!

wasn't really impressed with the power, but was impressed of the handling out of the box. the MDCT is much smoother than the SMGII tho. personally I love the sound of the e46 M3's mechanical grind better. The new M3 sounds a little like the old E39 M5, not that it doesn't sound good.

not impressed by the power??? I guess you need a c63 lol

I have heard the same thing about the tranny.....the Sequentials are always rough

I think the e46 is still the best.....especially with a SC

E39 M5's are sickk .
