Luis · 09-24-2008, 08:53 AM

This section needed a thread in it so I went out and bought a new daily driver:
04 ///M3 Gray, 6speed. I pick it up tonight. Ill post up some pics then.

Nice choice... I got the pleasure of having one as a DD for the summer of 2006 when I was in Chicago. You will not be disappointed!

I think you're gonna like it Luis. I enjoyed my '97 M3/4 even tho it rode like a buckboard. Pretty quick in it's day.

BTW no Pcar??? WTF

I was going to buy a 996TT and drive it year round, but decided to buy a decent DD and then pick up a nice 993 or 911 track car next year. This is the 1st time in 15 years that I don't have at least 1 Porsche in the garage, it's weird but it won't last long, I just don't want a bunch of $ sitting in the garage for the next 6 mo.

Nice pickup! I absolutely love my e39 m5 daily. BMW for the day to day traffic and pcar for the track IMO.

Congrats on the new DD. I had an 04 M3. It is a fun car to drive. I believe you will really enjoy it.

SamGrant951 · 10-17-2008, 04:36 PM

Congrats! I just picked one up as well...

Thanks guys. That M Coupe is beautiful.

Ummmmm pics?

Love my DD '98 M3. Bought it 5 years ago when it had 65K, now has 157K miles and still going strong.

Would love a new M3, but gosh they're expensive. Perhaps in a few years after they've depreciated some.

Here's a pic of mine from when I bought it. Looks the same today.

Silver Grey, A08... looks like my 04 M3. You just need some coilovers, SSK, LTW FW, some sort of exhaust... then you're set!

Luis · 11-07-2008, 09:17 PM

You forgot the CSL trunk, front bumper and wheels to the list

Other than that I will leave it stock. I am putting snow tires on my stock 18"s this week.
What is A08?

ArneeA · 11-07-2008, 10:25 PM

A08 is the paint code.

Ahhh got it, thanks!
