Tide Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Well it's been over 5 years on my 2006 Spec.B and it's time to move along. Nothing from Subaru really excites me these days (except maybe an STi) and I've got a kid so I still needed something somewhat family friendly. After shopping for 6 months settled on an M3 and picked it up last night. I got pretty much every option, the new competition package, the DCT, red leather interior like my Subaru. End of an era for me, 10 years of Subaru and they never let me down, but it's time to move on and up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 That's exactly the color and list of options that I would have gotten. M3 Sedan >> Spec-B Curious if you had even considered the 335d as an option?

Funny, I've hardly been around here for a couple of years and that's the first thing that popped in my head when I saw that you bought an m3 (congrats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tide Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 It's closer to the truth than you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 No I'm pretty sure it is true that Facebook sucks. Then again social networking has never held much interest for me, chances are that if I have not bothered to keep in touch with someone that used to know there is a good reason for that. Also pretty sure than a BMW M3 is a really nice car, although in that price range with the need to have a back seat and four doors I would have given a hard look at a new 550i.

Tide Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'll give it a year, then drop in a supercharger if I get 'bored' with it. http://www.esstuning.com/categories/BMW/E9X-3%252dSeries/M3/ Really impressive aftermarket community for these cars. Just spent all my free cash on the car though so it'll be a bit before I can get any mods done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
