I remember that car from one of the other forums.

I'll be honest, I do miss an older car of mine, an X5 4.6is.

Right now, I have a a TT in the works, but ended up keeping the M3 too. I think they are completely different cars, and couldn't live without one or the other at this point.

If we were closer, I'd be sure to give a fellow fanatic some seat time in the old M!

Good question.

I just sold a C6Z06 and don't miss it at all although I thought it was a good car.


Past rides I don't miss to name a few-

E46 M3
'99 996 cab
gt350 '66 mustang
396/375 chevelle
F 355
F 360

Past rides I do miss

993tt
86 911 carrera
993 C2S aero

I've had 15 911's and as I think about it those are the only cars I've had that I really wish I wouldn't have sold. After my last go round of trying to love the corvette Z I've given up. I just keep coming back to PCars.

Wow-nice past you had there!

I only had a 06C2S that I miss, wait, and my 749S as well.

Martin, it is because of you that I kept the M3. Such different personalities (the cars I mean), I'm so happy I kept her. Now that she's become the garage queen, I'm considering a head build up with some silly cam. How do you feel about that? I feel an NA m3, esp. e46 is so cool, especially one that CAMS HARD!

Couldnt agree more, I often miss NA alot, thank god my GT2 has almost no lag and sounds NA, or else I would be extremely bored of it!

I still want another m3 badly, but also thinking new M3 or M5 to replace my G35, I still have an everlasting love though for the E46! A fully built NA M3 is the most fun car, do it, no FI!

That's my plan over the next year or so. All motor beast. Just gotta finish bolting up the coil overs, do the WG springs and install them DV's on the TT and off the M goes. Now which shop to trust for the build up. I've heard good things about JBE, they did my friends dad's 1100 whp Viper, 600 whp Eclipse, 6xx whp Mustang, etc. Pretty diverse, tuning is the issue here.

On a side note, I'll sell you my allocation for the next M. Its with Habberstad, $500 refundable, 2nd dealer alloc. I'm waiting for year 2 of production my friends...

BTW, what turbos are in that GT2? It does sound NA...

Nice man I want to check your turbo out, and i'll let you know about the allocation.. My friend Dimitri works there and I was just talking to him about the M3, he said he'll put me on no problem, but if I do decide to get one I will take yours since you prob. want to get rid of it!

And my turbo's are modified low clearance K24's from RUF.. Not exactly sure on the specifics like compressor size and so on!
