Cool Biting the bullet

Verrrry Nice!!!!!
I had the Black on hold, but I simply couldn't resist Speed yellow on my trek to own one of each color by retirement! Your equipment seems to be similar to the one I chose, any regrets? My top 3: I really like the Bose, Xenons, and I have the 19"s. Congrats!

Cool...congrats! I still love the M3, but the handling on the 987S is amazing...makes the M3 feel very soft.

Beautiful car. Best of luck with it! I sold my e46 M3 Cab for the 987S and couldn't be happier. Now how to afford an e39 m5 to drive daily...

thanks guys. (been away for a bit). no regrets on the combo - would've liked the pcm, but it's not worth 3k to me. the combo in the garage *does* look nice, but unfortunately isn't permanent. i'm selling the m, they just wouldn't give me a good trade on it (which is understandable).

i'm actually thinking of a b5 (00-02) s4 as a daily driver. they're cheap, modifiable, awd, and who can say no to a tt v6?

funny thing is i was driving the m back from the detailers yesterday, and couldn't figure out why the shift throw was so long and the steering was so soft. ugh. few cars in the world can make an m3 feel that way.

looks like there are alot of people here who have an M3, or have HAD an m3.

after 6+ hours of track time or spirited driving, the m3 is a great car to go and run some errands.

mine: brilliantly practical and fun car for the price.

oh don't get me wrong - i love the m3. it's just that the boxster is noticeably tighter. my gf still likes the m3 better - she's a bimmer girl, plus it's more comfy for the passangers.
