Going from an E46 to W211 E55- he will make it up in the straights and his M3 is a vert---

I went from an E46 M3 to a W211 E55- never looked back.

Yes, but you came back to a E92 M3 to corner at the end of the road.

E46 M3 Convertible is gutless compared to an E55. Don't get me wrong. I really like the M3's. I was all about them back in my bimmerworld days and they look great but torque is king!

well guys, it was a bust....car wasn't up to par..had 6K more km then the ad says, is a 2 owner, not 1 owner car, if you look closely at the pics, which i didn't on the net...the B-pillars have this terrible carbon fiber strips glued to them, the hood need paint (no biggie), seat bolters, badly worn, the Nav system was aftermarket Kenwood, made me feel like the car was played around with too much, and wasn't what i was looking for...he did say we could have made the deal for under 5K.

awesome combo though, the white with pano, looks awesome in person!!

the search continues.....
