Sold my SC400 and got this....
Well I unfortunately sold my SC400 and my GSXR so I had to at least get something to replace them so I got this:
1995 BMW M3
-Suspension Dynamics Springs
-Short Shifter
-ASA 18x8in Wheels.
-Limited Slip Diff(3.23)
-Axis Ultimates Brakes

Congragulations.
A word of note, though. Although, of course, it is far out of warranty, make sure you know as much as possible about this car's history of engine maintenance. Later models of thi same-generation M3 ( especially 2000-2002 models ) had a relatively high rate of engine failures, and others, along with some X5's, had defective engine cooling fans that could cause engine fires.
Still, even though Bimmers, especially the newer Bangle ones, are not my favorite cars, I can understand what attacts you to them. They are unsurpassed in the steering, handling, and chassis dynamics.
Good luck with it.

Thanks for all the comments. I definitely am in love with the handling and power of the M3. Thankfully the previous owner took very good care of it with maintenance records and took care of some of the common issues.

hahaah reminds me of this racing forum where they censor out the word "*****" and replaces it w/ "E36 M3"
so instead of, oh boy you are full of ***** it'll be, oh boy you are full of E36 M3!
I liked that car tho, my buddy had 1 but totalled it =\

HID's and new fogs are on the way... I am just going to do little things to it b/c its a daily... Wont be turbo or supercharged for a long time.. My initial intentions were to buy it and then Turbo it immediately, but now I have reconsidered it and really like the car the way it is (the way BMW designed it to be , just a all around fun car).
