E90 M3 DCT w/Akrapovic, about the best daily driver/kid schlepper but with ***** I could wish for. Compared to a Porsche it was a deal.

Funny story... I had a 2010 M3 on order for euro delivery when I changed gears and cancelled the order for the 2010 GT3. After selling the GT3 18 months later, I actually did the exact same thing (deja vu all over again!)... 2013 M3 for euro delivery, only this time I got a 2011 GT3 RS instead.
A Daytona Violet M3 would look awesome next to your unique RS.

'97 M3 sedan
'02 M3 coupe

...but alas, no GT3. Since it is just a matter of when rather than if, I felt that I could contribute...

No m3, but. Highly modded e39 M5, boosted to 620HP, brembos All around, ground control coil overs, custom oil cooler, running conti challenge slicks. Was 2 tons of fun on the track!!!

Now I have a .1 RS and the M5 will only see track days in the rain this winter as its super fun to drift with!!

Have to say that the C63 is a lot more fun to drive on the street, wife drove it, and took it from me.

Saw one of these in person the other day, quite a letdown. Wanna be GTS without any of the really good bits and with horrible US ride height.

I owned a 95 m3 in college, 5 years ago. I had a bunch of mods, but most importantly, 3 10" JLs in the trunk.

... nice! i have a 2000 audi TT with two 10" JLs. best bang for the buck.
