I totally agree. First you sniff some stuff then that becomes not enough. You want to inject it into your vein Then talk about money pit mods and DE's (in a good way) that these things will give us ultimate adrenaline high

I bought an M3 off a RL so they could get a 996 GT3, I hope someone does the same to me for a 997.2 some day. That sort of counts.

e46 M3 to B7 S4 to e90 335i, now an F-150 and the aforementioned e36 M3 with a bevy of HPDE mods.

I still have an E36 M3. Looking to add an E46 to this in the next month. Hopefully in a couple of years, I'll jump up to a 997.1 GT3.

Carbon black e46 M SMG with headers and super sprint exhaust. Don't think you'll hear a more unique sounding car, just watched some videos that a buddy has of it from years ago, really made me miss it.

this thread makes me want to buy another one, but the american version is not attractive at all.
different engine, suspension, brakes, tranny. It's a shame, as it's such a sexy car.

When we were at Road Atlanta last November Chris Harris was there and when we were talking he called my E36M3 a Ring Warrior so I adopted it. If its good enough for Chris, its good enough for me.

18 years ago I had a euro 85 M6 (wish I still had that car) (charcoal grey/black)

3 years ago I order my current 2010 M5 (black with red/black interior)
About 7 months ago, I acquired my White/Black 08 GT3 RS
