Very nice. I like the size of your garage too. Here in california we get small three car garages that fit 2.5 cars in them.

Found it in Ohio at the delership in Clevland - great experience - was actually a "used" one believe it or not (700 miles). I am actually in CA and had a secondary garage built.

I am actually going to be selling the M3 - it is a swapped S50 with many tastefull mods to it.

Actually, I'm glad for you. The one at the dlr has the shift buttons instead of paddles. Why would anyone opt for these?

So you can have "multi-function" capabilities, then you just add the TechArt paddles, best of both worlds This is what I'm doing. Plus I really don't like where the "Sport/Sport Plus" lights are on the sport wheel being off to the left and down. They're located on top middle of the multi function wheel in line of sight of the speedo/tach, MUCH easier to see.
Personally I think it's a bit worthless to have Bluetooth and then not have convenient buttons to use it. I would rather not take my eyes of the road to screw with the phone/stereo, etc..., especially these days...

The wife said so ..... Really wish the e30 didn't have to go, it is 100% sorted out and is in great shape. But the deal was, a 911 in then the e30 goes - fair "trade" I figure.

I was in the same boat E46 M3 S3-R or Turbo 997 the M3 was sold. Should have never sold the M3, lots of time and money spent. My wife still has to hear me complain about selling the M3. Congrats on you new turbo you will love it.

Dont sell the e30, you will not be getting enough cash in to make a difference i feel. And you are going to give up a heck of a car. Used to have one in 1993 when I was in Boston. What an excellent car, I wish I had one still...

Explain to the little missus you are keeping it, because it aint worth selling it, and then move it to storage for a while, so she wont see it every day and whine.

Nice color on the Land Rover. Good taste in cars... What does she drive??
