I was in high school when I had my 323. Local auction pick up, came with a bunch of M parts (side mirrors, seats, ZHP shiftknob, black grill, clear sidemarkers/corners/taillights speakers and painted trim) and I decided to continue where the previous owner left off.
I had a lot of fun with that car. It was fun to drift in the winter time, my friend's would go in groups of 3, 4 or more and all drift together. There's no wax on, wax off with drifting. You learn by doing it. How you drift is who you are.
Tokyo Drift quotes aside, I miss that car. I drive the M in a far more respecting manner because, it doesn't get 24MPGs like the 323 did, it's worth about 5-6 times as much, and it's...well...an M3. I respect this car a lot. In my eyes, it is THE perfectly engineered vehicle. It's comfortable, quick, stylish, rare, and extremely well respected by anyone who knows a thing about cars. Even the girls love it. :rofl:
But, spirited driving is always good fun too. The motor needs a workout, afterall, it wasn't built to be driven under 3,000RPMs all the time.
