And what do you do for a living again, to have over $100K tied up in cars?!

Hey Brent,

Sweet new M3.. The Steel Grey is my favorite colour for the new M3 so you get Kudos on the choice.. BTW the hospital is paying you too much money buddy.. LOL

Don't be powdercoating anything on that M3 now..

Happy New Year!

Ken

Really nice cars, I like both of them. What year is that beatiful baby M3. I would keep that bimmer bone stock and enjoy the performance that it brings to the table.

Enjoy,

Erfan

It's 2002 Steel Gray color M3 6spd...

Bit,

Actually, I got a great deal on the car. Dealer sold it at MSRP which is very rare in So Cal.

The reason I can afford both cars is because the GS400 I bought used for under 30K and the M3 is leased. There is no way I would tie up over 50K up front in a car... and yes, 2SAVVY, I think the hospital is not paying me enough .

Thanks for all the compliments guys! The only modding I probably will do is get rid of the hideous orange sidemarker because it is the ONLY thing on the car that is amber so it truly stands out! I might put Eibach springs or GC coilovers for a lower ride height...Otherwise, it will stay as stock as possible.

Brent
