Love your M3. Had a '99 in the same color (estoril blue), no mod's like yours. I still vote that car as one of my favorites. I also think it is one of the best shades of blue for the M3, ever.

Nice car, looks like you loved it.

C32 AMG, E55 AMG (w211)
I came from a c32, and loved it so much I kept it. So now I have 2 supercharged AMG's. Now I'm just waiting for the right time with funds to mod them both all out with Eurocharged goodness...

Hehe, I end up selling the IS-F from Autotrader for a couple of k less than what I paid or it. Thanks the little ones are now 1 and 5 year old the older one 13 and they all love the Wagon, not as much as their dad I should assume!
