my M3 transition

[jdmgeorge]

I purchased my first e36 m3 in August of 2011 and this this happened when i was leaving the gym, the beginning of the new year a guy ran a light on me.

After dealing with insurance and looking for 2 months, i picked this gem up in arkansas about 2 weeks ago... drove it back to florida, had no problems at all, on the way back.

no injuries at all, i jumped out of the car ,checked the other guy, then looked at my car and was like damn.

switched out the fog lights today being they were supporting aquatic life.

you should order these. http://www.adamsrotors.com/

they are awesome quality rotors and allow you to either choose one of the many designs or customize them to your liking!

Good luck man, I pray that I never have to deal with swapping parts, especially since my engine just received a nice overhaul.

Good luck! Seeing the stock M3 behind the modded one, it's a good example of how much wheels and suspension can make a car look great. I'm partial to spoilers on coupes too.

Look at the bright side at least you get to mod out an M3 all over again! :D But seriously sorry to hear that but good luck with the transition!
