Oh how true!!

Nice ride Chris. I'm sure she loves it.

My wife has wanted a Volvo C70 Conv. for years and I resisted. Then BMW came out w/ the folding hardtop vers. of the 3 series this year and she would wait no longer. We ordered a 328 Conv. in mid. May and will finally take delivery the end of this month and my wife has been very anxious, to say the least! It's not the car I would have ordered but I'm sure we'll both have fun driving it.

Again, nice car.

This car is my wifes daily driver, not mine. While I think its a great car, Pam really really likes it, which is priority #1 when selecting a car for her.

Is it my first choice as my 'fun' car? No way, that is what the p-car is for. I certainly hope I didnt mislead you in thinking that is the case.

Yes, it does with the exception of the side grill and centered exhaust. The ZHP cars do use M3 front and rear bumper covers, wheels, dampers/springs and steering wheel. Cool car.

Thanks all for the nice words!!

Default Bought my wife the same car in May...put 18" CLS Reps on it immediately!

And I not afraid to admit I enjoy driving it as much as she does. It's our first Beamer and I must admit it is a lot more car than I expected. It's a nice mellow change when I go to it from my P-car.
