Default The dark side exposed!

As some of the locals know, I decided to move onto the Dark Side and purchase a 1998 BMW M3 sedan. Although I still do love my SC300 I do spend more time in the M3. Ive always loved German car especially BMW. As I do spend a little bit more time in the BMW forums nowadays, I tend to stroll in here in hope's of capturing my dream of doing a 1jzgte swap on my SC someday but somehow that as well has been put aside in exchange to supercharging the M3. I truely dreamed of swapping in the motor into my SC but unfortunately my dream of owning an M3 and supercharging it is definitely much greater.

ive had the car for a few months now and definitely did not waste anytime in spending for it.

been also practicing my photography skills for a few weeks now, just wanted to share some of my photos with you friends.

gear:

Nikon D90

lens:

50mm 1.8af

ENJOY!

first acquired:



after 5 months of ownership:

since you missed to read my brief description I guess being illiterate is understandable in your case but here's picture of my sc300, maybe now you understand why im sharing my recently acquired vehicle



thanks for the comment fellaz, although I do agree that BMW needs more caring i sure don't its any more problematic than lexus in the same condition. on a truthful basis sports cars tend to need more maintenance and care than a luxury car and it is an M3 ( sports car ). In exchange I'm truly driving * The Ultimate Driving Machine *. If you havent driven one, you should.

To top things off I find it even easier to work on the M3 than it is on my Miata or SC300.

I love that m3! well the coupe one at least, i was actually planning on getting one but i heard something about electrical problems and i backed off.

I think what sets me apart from lexus and BMW is the interior, the interior of the BMW seems cheap to me.. even my bmw friends think also.

I don't think it's a matter or illiteracy. It actually is a Lexus forum. For a specific model, in this case. The M3 pictures by themselves are technically off-topic. So, no need to be rude to someone pointing out something completely reasonable. I've owned other cars as well, but I don't post pictures of them here just because I own an SC.

And if you want to knock about illiteracy, check your own posts. They're riddled with errors.

That said, the M3 looks great, and Dakar Yellow is a classic color for the M3.

What are your plans for super charging it?

The M3 looks real clean. I like the 2dr's better, the SC's better.
