Yeah, I go to UGA and work in Gainesville, so I am mostly between those two areas.

Thanks! Unfortunately, I will be changing to an M3 front bumper soon. The CSL did not last very long at this height, and is pretty much trashed.

I love almost every non standard color on a BMW. I like being different from the rest of the crowd. Go get yourself a red right now lol.

Apologizing in advance for the lame driveway/neighborhood shots

First week of ownership (Already installed black kidneys)

Few months later, added a trunk spoiler and traded my Style 96's for Style 72's

More up to date pics, clears, angel eyes, color matched trunk handle, Mtech 2, M5 reps, and not pictured but black headliner

(Yea, I put the clears back on)

NightRaider93 · 12-21-2011, 11:33 AM

^ I like, what % tint is that?

Snik · 12-21-2011, 11:55 AM

Looking good guys. Especially those 2 sedans at the bottom of page 1.

EDIT: Honestly, not sure. The previous owner had done the tint. I think the front is 25% and the rear is 5%

Four?! In all honesty, how was the maintenance compared to a regular E46? Thats the one thing scaring me away from wanting an E46 M3 after my 325i

No real difference I'd say. Granted there's a lot of differences in the drivetrain and powertrain, they're very similar. I had to replace similar suspension components on my 330 as I did on my M3s. Front control arm bushings, rear trailing arm bushing, rear subframe micro-crack on my latest M3.. I did have a VANOS seal issue on that same M3 right before my Inspection II.

Biggest maintenance; Gas, Tires and Brakes. A fair trade off for power I feel.

After I got my first M3, I never looked back.
