The M3 was gorgeous, but I guess you're no stranger to FI from the RSX's intercooler pokin' out, so maybe your GS3 with enough mods (i.e. turbo) may get close.

Congrats on the car! Its a rare setup, but I think after awhile you'll see why its rare and that rare isn't always a good thing (start saving for your leather kit: leatherseats.com).

Wow...that M3 was pretty. If the time came today to part with my GS4, the M3 (or maybe M5) would be the first car I'd look at.

I used to have a teg myself, then on to a 04 M3, then to my GS3. I understand the train of thought.

Check your pockets quite often as they will be missing money due to your increased spending.
Oh believe me im feeling the effect already. I ordered some parts the same day i got the car haha

I actually LOVE the gs! once im done with it i KNOW il love it even more. I have some plans with it.

As far as transition from the m3 to the gs.. well coming from a turbo'd rsx to the m3 it is 2 totally different feeling in power. Im more of a FI person. Na is nice and all but... haha I didnt drive any of those cars up to their potential which why i regret it but i am a very conservative driver.

I had cloth in my rsx than swapped out for leather.. worst mistake! Im very **** with my cars and HATED to see the crease marks on my leather seats. Not just that i would slide in my seat when i had my leathers.

I actually HARDLY used my sunroof in any of my cars. So i thought it was pretty unique not to have it as an option.

White car krew holla! haha i hardly used my sunroofs on any of my cars so i dont really pay much attention to it haha.

Thanks again man for all your help!

Mmmm i missss boost. na-t... meh i duno i have never driven an boosted sedan that was auto. If i wanted speed id buy a sports car. (no offense to anyone with a boosted gs) bc if i had the funds to do it i WOULD! haha more props to them!

The ONLY thing i would say i hate about the cloth seats is i am always worried someone would spill or have dirt on their pants when they sit in my car and the stain wont come out hahaha other than that i like them!

The M series is definitely a wonderful engineered vehicle.

I guess its just different stages in life when you grow out of things.

I know im new here but im not new to the whole forum thing. I plan to be an active member here on out!

Please do not hesitate to buy or sell from me. I am and could be on of the most honest/loyal/trustworthy person you will ever meet. I have over 50+ positive online transactions (no negative feedbacks). Many locals will vouch for me. I only personally know 2 CL members and they will tell you.

I will update this thread with more pics/info along the way of the transition!

Hope to meet and get to know most of you!

Nice little storyline there. Your car is unique but personally I love my leather and sunroof. If it was the other way around, I'd definitely be envious. But cloth won't burn you on a hot day though. hehe
