I love everything about it! IMO this is how the E55 should be. Last time Marcus posted pics of the first C55 on the board i bought it, lol i hope this does not happen again. I am really liking it!

That was a great car, as you said....tight, trouble free, fun to drive. The E46 definitely feels the 200lbs heavier that it is.

i had a 99 m3, the best car ive had (tie w/ a 94 e500)
it was so much fun to drive, i used to get up at 5am to go canyon running, and i think that 11am is early. the car was calling me, i swear
btw,
my brother has a e46 m3 and what a piece of ****, they ruined the m3, navigation ( i wouldnt mind getting lost in my e36), smg, electronic lumbar thingies
(one more thing; do people really need those rear windows to pop out 2in?)and dont get me started on the look

It only travels on a trailer though, as the solid suspension components with the coil over suspension make it extremely uncomfortable on the streets.
I actually ordered an E46 M3 when it came out thinking I was going to trade my E36 for it. But at the end decided that I no longer wanted a double duty street/track car and decided to build a dedicated car initially for instructing at the schools, but eventually will be a club racer. And the E36 is superb for this purpose!

However,it is what it is and I still like the car.I think they could get even more pwr by redesigning the intake manifold with the opening at the front of the engine.just my .02!

Ill be the first to say early production W164 cars with the 7g where terrible. There is no way around that. But saying all cars with 7g are junk just because some of the first vehicles were known to be jerky is going to far.
The E63 looks like such a great step forward (for a guy who values chassis dynamics) over the E55 that I would hate to see it be looked down on just because it has a 7g. Furthermore that 7g could be flawless since it is upgraded by AMG and it also is a good 2 years newer in part development and version coding!
Your ML and that other guyws ML likery are both trash. I give that right now up front and I wont look back!
I hope to drive an E63 soon but not about to go dump 30-40k into a new car quite yet. Would love to see how to drive though....

As for the debate between an E30 and E36, you'll find fans in both camps. I went with an E36 M3 because that's what I leased back in late '98. I've always loved the E30 M3, and would love to find one for my stable one day while keeping the E36 as well. What I would really love to do is import an E30 M3 Sport Evo from Europe, now that'd be a car I'd keep forever!

As I said, I'll be open to the S550 and the E63. If they surprise me, then i'm in on both. If not, dunno what to do.
Miss you dude. The sway bar project is happning...look for a new post.
