I'm planning on getting one sometime in the near future. (next summer ) Don't worry, I WILL NOT BE GETTING RID OF THE STANG. I originally thought that I'd have to sell the stang, but just had a talk with my dad and he said that he wanted to keep it cause it has always been his "dream car" lol.

Impressions? I know these things are one of the most refined/best road cars out there. My roomate used to own one and he said that once your inside, it feels like you're part of it. Fits like a glove.

Good stuff
A guy at work has one, took me for a ride in it once, and I must say I was very impressed with it.
I was toying with the idea of getting a '02-'04ish 330i as a second car in January, but I'll have to wait and see what happens in the next few months as to whether I'll be able to afford one. I might end-up getting a truck instead.

Can never go wrong with getting a beamer. Good luck, hope you don't end up with a truck, lol.

I have an 04' e60. Brakes are INCREDIBLE. The 6speed auto is sluggish. All around fine car. Probably expensive to repair but I got total coverage right now.

I have forgotten all the number lingo for models...

A buddy of mine had a 97 or so sedan M3, it was a DAMN nice ride. IIRC they were like 14.1 or so cars but just all around nice. I would not mind getting a lower mile well taken car of model.

Just too bad I need a truck but if I dont get a truck it is on the list along with a fusion to replace the DD Olds if I do get rid of it this winter/spring.

E36 M3s were made from 1992-1999. E46 M3s were made from 2001-2006. Ha yeah I know BMW lingo is hard to get used to, I don't think I'll ever get all of the models down.

Yeah they run low 14s @100mph stock. Very stout cars indeed!
