Wow! I was on Roadfly way back when you had to be on a waiting list for the e46 M3. Got the first SMG at my dealer. Great track car! Was sad to see Roadfly implode with their silly censorship.

The E46 was tough but nothing compared to the craziness when the Elise hit these shores. Even worse than that was my 95 Cobra R. Couldn't buy one without a race license and Ford sold them all to existing teams.

I remember going to test drive an '87 930 Turbo from a guy who was more a BMW guy; he had an E46 328i Sport Pack but had an order in on the soon-to-be-released E46 M3. When would that have been? 2001? I don't think I've ever met anybody so excited about an incoming car! I wound up passing on the Turbo.

My office is about 10 min from this dealer so might stop by and lick it ;-) Why so much hate on the R? :-(
BTW, any Houston folks going to tejas treffin? I'm driving the night blue 991.2. Hope to see you there!

Manual - no electronic nannies or helpers - 3.8 engine - wide body - RWD - base radio - 18 way seats. Done.

Crazy price but love the car. I'm keeping my left nut in good kit, just in case prices someday to drop to that range.

Amen and hallelujah brother STG, but you missed the part that no one other than an emir in Dubai would pay that kind of money and drive it anyway. It's not a car, it's an investment, part of the portfolio.

At the risk of continuing my "useless" thread, Top Gear just posted their review....
