So I figured I would set up my list and get a engine rebuild kit, get some nice hot cams for the car possibly stay with the same tranny but if they make a 6speed auto which i dont think they do ill go with that someday. and i haven't compiled the rest yet... Its still on my dream sheet till i do my interior first.

I know but my girl dosnt know how nore dose she want to learn, I have a 85 Crx Perfect for her to learn on but she gets too scared because of the steep hills here in seattle So i got to keep it drivable for her too unfortunately. My pans are to pass the Sc to her when I start making more money at my job and buy a 2000 bmw m3 to play with all the while having fun with the Sc This way If she's driving Its still fun !!!

I like the way the 2000-2005 looks personally the newer ones are abit round...
Usually when I buy a used car I rebuild the engine so i know where im at with the vehicle plus it gives me a hobby!

The oil is just to make it harder for the police to get me

I'd take an E46 M3 over an SC300/400 any day of the week. They are very reliable cars if you maintain them properly. Most of the time when they get trashed is when spoiled rotten kids get them for their 16th birthday and don't do anything to maintain it.... ARCO gas, not changing the oil, and mashing on it all the time will destroy any car.

Every kid needs to start out with a Beat up clunker like i did something that causes you a headache if you treat it bad like a 80s ford pickup :P The thing was sooooo touchy Id romp on it and it would throw something or the old tranny would blow on me I just about hated that vehicle because i was almost 90% under it that in it... Learned how to take care of cars after that I didn't like being under it more than driving My 2 cents for those spoiled kids but yes if you maintain a Bmw properly there just like toyotas and lexus they'll last quite awhile!!
Iv always wanted a Bmw plus it would look good if I was an appraiser and had a bmw and a lexus shows I must know something because I was able to have two nice cars alll the while I'm just the new guy... just brings a sense of confidence
