I had the same feeling too ... when I first got it. All good things run their course with me, well almost all good things.

The sedan was a close close 2nd but with the recent IS-F acquisition I went the route of the coupe.

Vic,

I say the ISF needs to be moved and the 212 E63 would be perfect for your wife.

Your 997 could use PDK to match your GT-R, M3

I am only moderately impressed with that M3.

Man, I'm really slipping....... you posted this yesterday and I'm just catching it now. Call me crazy but I would take this M3 over your old M6.

Did you post these killer pictures on M3 Forum? If not, may I?

I still think you have the best looking M3 that I have seen but some of the BMW aficionados don't all share my view. Tough crowd.......now I remember why I sold my M3 and purchased a Mercedes.

I cant open that forum from my office, what are the narrow minded saying these days?? LOL


Edit, was able to access from another computer. I can see why they say what they say, you said "best looking"... I never purported such a thing since modded M3's in the nice format are a dime a dozen...

And post some other pics too Rock!!!! Lazy!!!!
