Seriously that thing is clean. Is that shop in the Bay Area? Need me a good shop for paint and bodywork.

And I would take the e92 for practicality reasons.

E46 M3 ZCP fully modded NA, and enjoy it! Turbo M? You have no idea how much money you will have to throw at it for it to stay on the road and just in general, with my supercharged M3 everything had to be swapped out, beefed up and changed, if you think you slap it on and go you're wrong. Maintenance will prob be a headache!

E92. Much more reliable, better interior, newer, warranty, and it can actually put the power down unlike the turbo E46.

AsianJedi and yutripnfoo,

Thanks for the kind words. I am excited for it to be done. It is up in Carson City, NV at a small shop being built... albeit very slowly!

Sorry for the off topicness.

e46

Anyone who wouldn't still take an E46 over the new, hyper-electronic, button-frenzied E92 doesn't know a real BMW. I saw a few of the new M3s in action on the track...with a good steering box and limited slip, the E46 M3 is still king in my book...and that design hasn't grown old since the first E46 more than 8 years ago!

(disclaimer - I drive a 996 C2 now but owned a 330iZHP until last March for 4 years and loved it to pieces)

asianjedi, I can't blame you, your car is SEXY! Major props!

One of my good friends down here in FL had an LSB M3 with those wheels.

the e46 m3 is good on the track, but ill take a stock cayman S ANY DAY, ANY TIME for tons of obv reasons over a stock one or my full modded NA m3. the 330zhp is a great car, my younger sister has a 330ci zhp and the thing is great to drive. 996 C2 is great on the track as well.
