No boys I haven't sold my beloved 635csi and never will- but I always wanted one of these and I really wanted to drive a manual again. I hope you forgive me for showing it off. I hope Paul doesn't have a hissy fit :wink:

I'm impressed. Can I borrow it this weekend?

Paul's other car is a Saab. A Saab station wagon. I don't think you need concern yourself with his assessment. Image

Ouch :D . It's just that I know he doesn't like later model BMWs. Personally, I think there are some gems they made/make post the E24 series. WRT to borrowing the car on the weekend- Geez, I haven't driven it myself over a weekend yet :lol:

Like the E39 M5?? :wink:

Love that model. Your M3, I mean. The E46's are the last of the old breed, in my opinion.

I love it. Always wanted one but will upgrade my 633 to a similar level of speed. As for ride and comfort, I got no chance.

Best M3 ever made.

And I like the color! All three of mine are a version of "silver". (Polaris, Sterling and Titanium)

What is the official name of your color?

Sprocket, it is Titanium Silver. The car is on the factory optional 19" rims. The previous owner has lowered it, which makes for a very hard ride. I do have the original springs and i may return it to its original setup. One thing for sure 343bhp (254kw) certianly is a step up on the e24, and it was no slouch- Yikes!! :shock:
