Wink ot-My new car for sunny days!!!

Originally sold my 03 330ci to get something more family like:
New 3 series
New 530 or 545

But my wife saw this car and said let's get it--4 weeks later

viola



05 CB/Cinn convertible--every option & SMG
Since its 2 days old it still has under 100 miles--this weekend will be GREAT!

i miss the SMG; had my spouse allowed both, i would not have disposed of the M3.

Then again, if i had let her sit it in more than twice, perhaps the outcome would have been different?

enjoy!

Its race deck--I have used a floor jack on it but not jack stands since a jack has a larer surface area. They are guarnteed for 10yrs plus they are like $3-$5 each so to replace would be no big deal

Nice car...my wife traded in her 323ic for a CLK430 but now regrets it. She finds the BMW to be more of her style, so I am thinking of suprising her for Christmas..have to start doing my research.

I would like to echo that the M3 does compliment the 996 very well.

Agreed.

I don't have SMG, as it wasn't available when I bought mine, but I've been very happy with my M3.
