Here I was thinking I was alone in the idea of an E46 M3 with track and CSL goodies to warm me up to DEs before I started on the idea of a 6RS.

 

Nope, you are not alone

 

a shot of my e92 m3 with my 997.1RS.... the m3 has since been sold...

my current daily driver is a 09 WRX STi.

the RS is so much more engaging to drive and a lot more raw in terms of feedback, sound, etc. but the m3 is much much more comfortable for longer road trips.

 

^is this berge old rs car?

 

98 M3 techno violet
99 M3 estoril blue
04 M3 titanium silver
and hopefully soon 996gt3.

First cars were 78 scirocco, 80 scirocco, 87 16v scirocco.....

 

Owned a 95 E36 M3 before getting a 991 C2S. Had the M3 set up for the track and sold it when I got the 991, which is much faster on the track and more comfortable on the way to and from.

 

Currently I own an e92 M3 and I am trying to figure out whether I want to turn it into an all out track car since its paid for and I already have a ton of track focussed mods on the car. I know they are heavy, but it could be a great toy for me and my friends to go racing in.

I grew up with Porsches and I've been completely obsessed with GT3s since I first rode in a 996.2 in college. I made a deal with myself when I went to work with my current company back when I was 25 that I would buy a GT3 by my 30th birthday (I'm 28 now). Hope to be going after a 7.2 GT3 in the next year and a half.

EDIT: I should also add that my M3 now has 56k miles as it has been my DD since I bought it with 3k miles in September of 2008. I don't think I'll be able to get much for the car, hence my toying with the idea of turning it into a fully caged track car.

 

^^^ go full on track rat with e92, then buy 7.2 GT for 30 bday. Best of both worlds

 

Sounds like a plan with COTA in my backyard now.

 

Damn, in your backyard. Lucky Dog. Can't wait to drive on that track.

 

1995 325i (one of the best cars I've ever owned 100k + miles)
2001 330i (junk)
2004 M3 (dream car at the time)
2003 M5 (muffler delete, so much fun!)
1988 M3 with S52 (first dedicated track car and most expensive car to track!)
2004 E350 wagon (daily driver)
Now 2006 997S (dual purpose and best car I have ever owned - pads/tires swap only)
GT3? soon I hope (middle aged dream car)

 

No GT3 though Love my M3

 

^^Very nice. I recently traded one in just like it. It is a great car...

 

e92, e46, e36, e30.....

 

white e46, then carbon black e46... then into .2 GT3... i still miss the e46...
