Fazda: Said goodbye to my beloved Corvette, and hello to an e46 M3
Nor did I have time to enjoy the vette, and I am a firm believer that no car should spend its life hiding away in a garage. Blame the lack of free time on my now six month old daughter Savannah With the vette being used little, I put it up for sale. A friend recently took it off of my hands and that same evening I picked up my 2002 Bmw M3. The car has all of the power that the vette did, sounds amazing, looks amazing, and its got a back seat for my daughter so she can enjoy daddy's car too! I had been shopping for an M3 when I bought the vette a few years back, and while I loved the past few years I wish I had just bough the M3 then. At the moment I haven't gone over the new toy very throughly, but It's got a Dixis Titanium exhaust thanks to the previous owner...$2500 I didn't have to spend! Otherwise it looks pretty stock. The car was a bargain from a local BMW dealership because it needed some minor maintenance which didn't bother me a bit. Anyway onto some pics.... Last day with the vette: The m3 on the lot right after I'd decided to take it home Savannah getting comfortable on daddy's new toy Daddy's M3 hanging out with Mommy's matching 328ci in the driveway First day with the new car at work with my brother's E36 Aside from the needed maintenance, the first order or business was painting the rear bumper lower satin black And finally just a few shots in the garage...proper photoshoot coming soon!

As you may have noticed....we like our Bmws in this family, Both of my brothers drive e36's, and my closest friends have a few Bmws in their driveways as well. The vette was a bit out of place the past few years but we all loved it and I'm sure i'll miss it down the road.
H&R springs will go on the m3 later tonight to hold me over until I pick up some coilovers. Suspension will be the main focus with this car. It's fast enough for me (I must be getting old), I'd just like it to handle much better than it does in stock form.

Technically I own the car haha...I bought it and cleaned it up planning on driving it through the winter until I came across the M3 that I was looking for. When this deal popped up I had to jump on it though. So I told my brother he could have it for what I had invested since I immediately lost interest and we haven't exchanged title for cash yet. That car had super flush breyton inspirations while it was "mine" though... The vette wheels actually went on after he took it, they were intended for our little brother's e36 but I liked the breytons on his so they swapped wheels. We're very close so they tend to benefit from the fun stuff I have lying around.

Looks sick dude and Congrats on your beautiful daughter!!! I loved your vette man so it will be missed in my book, but the M3 is no slouch and in stock form still looks better than 90% of the cars that are modded!
