Was it a hard decision to pass on the allocation? .... maybe not so hard after taking a look at California's license fee. It will cost $1,526 if your optioned GT3 come in at $125K

Stay with your E46 M3 for a while? I am surprise E92 M3 has not taken up space at your garage yet

And boy does it look fun to break the rear loose!
Agree. I had a hard time keep up with a E92 M3 ... and a E36 and E30 M3 lol. They are all great cars. E92 M3 can be so much better if you strip it down to 3100 lbs. That's one thing about these M3 ... well balanced. It is so much easier to drive my M3

LOL

I sure hope not ... IMHO they are some ugly bread box

Let me think, something coming in October ... so it may still being build. Not a GT3 because Fern gave up the spot and probably not a RS since we don't know when the factory can steal some RSR front suspension from the the racing devision. Don't know ... perhaps a bi-plane with BMW engine? lol

Not yet. Will track align soon. I did tilt the rear wing up by about 4 degrees and it help plant down the rear end in heavy braking and turns. Did not change straight speed so that is good

Mike, you need to think outside the box. Your mind is only seeing the narrow picture.
