I love the 3.5 CS. I can't believe how immaculate it is! Sweet collection.

Thanks for all the props on the BMW 3.5.I have owned it since 1979.Its been on the cover of several magazines and even been inside the Peterson Car Museum in LA
Its won about every event I entered it in.I don't compete with it anymore as its too much work.I now just display it at events to let people admire it.It drives as good as it looks.
The 2002 Factory Turbo on the other hand I drive the Sh-- out of.Real fun car.It does nothing up to 3800 RPM[Turbo Lag],then hold on.The turbo kicks in and your off.It only weighs about 2200 lbs,so you can toss it around

Nice pics Mike,
How do the two cars compare now that you've had the 993TT a while?
I love both those colors too!
Cheers,

Rob
I have to be honest and I miss my C2S a little.It was really well sorted.I miss the sound of it sucking air at about 4 grand and the feel of the 2 wheel drive.I knew this before I bought the Turbo,so really no surprise here
I think once I get it lowered and maybe some different wheels,I will feel better about it.I really haven't been able to drive the Turbo too much,as its been raining.
May I ask,what your ride height is?I like the way your car sits.My S sat about a 1/2 inch to low.What is the distance from the ground to your fender lip?I know this is not the proper way to measure,but I just want a rough estimate Are you running PSS9's
