What in the HELL are you thinking?!?!?! Get that M3 away from the GS! The Lexus might catch some sort of disease! Seriously though, it must be great to own two of the best cars on the planet. Congrats BIG TIME! Damn, the GS and M3...I don't think there could be a better combo. Like Sasha said, SMG II would be nice, but what the hell, it's an M3. Beautiful color choice. Very nice break from all those blue-colored M3s running about. Again, congrats and drive the hell out of both!

Brent,

Congrats. You're the man. How did you swing it? I know you have a new kid, so that was why you got rid of your Z, right? Did you convince your wife she gets the GS (with the carseat in the back) and you get the M3? I'm just jealous.

QBranch,

No kid yet but you got the gist of it!
She likes it because she can still use the M3 with a carseat in the back. We really enjoy BOTH cars!

Nice Brent! Hey, how about gettin' me a job?

Many of dealers have 6-speed M3's for "sale" at MSRP now because the demand has shifted (no pun intended) to the SMG-II M3's...try to get one of those for MSRP! There's a 6-speed at my local dealer also for MSRP...

I think the E46 M3 in "Carbon Black" with the "Imola Red" interior (along with Xenons and SMG-II) wouldn't be a bad stablemate for my GS430...but then again, a turbocharged SC300 wouldn't be bad either!

You'll have to keep us up to date on any "issues" you might have with your new toy...

Can you modify cars while you have it on lease? How is the ride and quietness of that M3 compared to the GS?

Brent,

AWESOME!

That's a beautiful ride. Enjoy it to the hilt but don't let the GS catch any of the bugs that BMWs are known for.

enginyr - Man, that sucks! I like that interior color...then again, I can't imagine it's too popular...only a few sick minds would understand red leather interiors...
