Go for it Vic, sounds like a great deal, and the E63 will round out your stable quite nicely. Every man needs a nice 4-door with 517HP.

Thanks man, thats my good friend Drew's car in that vid... no SC for me, need to keep the car relatively stock since its a DD (m3). This offer is insane and a two year lease will plant me perfectly for either the new M5 or new E55 and it will be after the higher prices have worn off. As others say, no chance to get a new E55 for 65k.




Josh, I drove the car yesterday... not bad!! The looks in the front and side are growing on me- I still have some doubts about the rear but I think my good friends at Vorsteiner can help me out there!!

I think two turbo cars will fit my needs- I do like instant gratification that an N/A provides. A set of LT headers, exhaust, and ECU should move me past the minimal speed requirements I need.

Vic, (yes I've decided to address you directly) I found you a better deal........who lovs ya!!

Like your breasts!!!

Vic:

Just of curiosity, how would you rate (best to worst) all the cars that have run over the years.

Tom

I may have to puke.

Vic55

Oh man where to start? I wont even list the 9 Lexus' I owned... purely a corporate thing there...or the 2 Supra Turbos

from the short list:

W210 E55
Audi S4
E39 M5
E46 M3
996TT
W211 E55
W215 CL65
E63 M6
997TT
E92 M3
GT-R
Lexus IS-F

Id probably list them this way

997TT
GT-R
E39 M5
996 TT
W211 E55
E92 M3
W210 E55
E63 M6
W215 CL65
Lexus IS-F
E46 M3
Audi S4


Each car was owned during its heyday (all new) so the value of a W210 E55 in 2001 has much relevance versus it value today.

chawkins2001

how much for an outright sale on the m3?

Vic55

For all intensive purposes its sold... I parted it out.

islandsnow

Get the white W212, I also converted from a white E92 now with white W212

CharlyE500

I really like your M3 compare to the new E63. I don't think it worth to change. BTW, E63 depreciate freaking fast compare to M3....
Your M3 will still worth good money in 2 years but E63 different story specially the 55TT coming in 2 years. The price of current E63 2010 might drop to $45k+ Good luck with your decision !

MB_Forever

Depreciation won't matter much in this case, as he is only leasing the car not purchasing.

Vader55

The smart play would be to keep baby shamu until the TT arrives Vic.

TMC M5

I never realized you had an E39 M5. That was such a great car...even though it is "under-powered" by today's standards.

It will be interesting to see how the W212 E63 stacks up on that pretty amazing list. Good luck!

Tom

Vic55

Thanks Tom!! The E39 is an icon IMHO... 3rd gear is still amazing by todays standards!!!

My vote is to keep the M3. I think it looks a lot nicer than the W212, which still has not grown on me yet.

the two tone ash interior is only on the E 350/550 sport models (shown in the pic). It actually looks pretty good in person. On the E63 the Ash is NOT two toned, not sure why but that's how it is. I would have chose ash if it was two toned. Either way it looks better with Black Ash wood trim or Carbon fiber trim.

Max.H

Dump the m3. It's like a kids car (unfortunate), especially in irvine.

Vic55

Yeah I figured that out when I posted up my HRE's for trade at M3Post. All I got was stupid low baller immature PM's. I did finally sell them to a young but mature M3 owner.

I had people offering me 800 bucks for the wheels.. WTF!!!!

Anyways, my dealer found a white one and traded for it. It showed up yesterday and went to the body shop to get the side markers painted to sample. I have already ordered the wheels, tint will go on, resonator delete next week, lowering soon, and then I just will cruise.

sdshah3

this is my favorite thread....because i cant wait 10 years to have vic's garage and my problems are if i should get the e63 or wait for the twin turbo. ahhh the car gods have blesseed you. Pleasee post picss

Max.H

Wow, $800?? Really? That is

White e63? That's awesome. Did it come with pano? Eager to hear about the launch control feature? W212 e63 already sounds burly. Res delete is gonna sound vedy nice!

nlpamg

lol, congrats!

$800, wtf?!?!

Vic55

White with pano, P2, black leather, black wood, parktronic, distronic, night googles or whatever and few other minor mods.

Res delete is a must- what shop do you like in the OC?

Lowering via star and springs, wheels ordered, calipers to be painted, tint, markers painted--- then on to tuning, LT's and whatever...



No sh.t, the nerve!!!!!!!!!!

V12Godspeed

Can't wait for your transformation on that E...You are always wicked with them. Which wheels did you go with? HRE's, LM's ??

Roupin

Congrats Vic!
I looked into one a couple weeks and and can't believe the discounts on them.
