    While the m2 certainly is awesome, it sure isn't pretty when parked beside the e36.
    I think getting rid of an e36 like yours could haunt you for a long time.

    - 98 m3, techno/anthrazit cloth, 124k and officially worthless - 89 m3, alpine/black 143k and officially old - 2000 323it, tiag/grey, 169k and officially boring

    Goddamn ... now I gotta find a DY e46 M3

    I had an alpine/Modena (not lux) coupe a few years ago ... it was absolutely mint, perfect condition, low miles, etc. Sold it 'cause we decided we needed something more practical for winter, and needed some cash at the time. Worst decision I ever made ... really wish I found a way to keep the car, and being 1 of like 3 on the planet, it would be impossible to find another.

    Yours qualifies in the same way I would think ... keep the car, your future self will thank you!

    I just went through a similar scenario, I ended up keeping the M3 and buying another M... I could not sell it.

    I've actually been researching 4 post lifts. Problem is an extremely low ceiling. Def a first world problem.

    I need my garage to look like the DY group photo above... LOL! If anyone has any information on the DY E39M5, I'd be interested if the owner still has it. Only 7 were produced. The M2 is absolutely stunning, I'm actually going back and forth with BMW to try to get an individual M2 - you can already guess the color. So far they've only done one and it was Austin Yellow.

    Just put both on bags and air out when they go in the garage. I'm a problem solver.

    Not productive at that point, hopefully it finds a good owner.

    Dang, I take a week or so off from this forum and miss the arrival! So, you're researching 4-post lifts. And yet you've got a picture of both cars tucked away nicely in the garage. What am I missing? If you can do it for a picture, why not do it always (other cars in the family be damned)?

    Ha! Just getting back after a week out now. You're forgetting the happy wife, happy life continuum. Her rig sits outside right now! The lift is a no go. Brutal first world problems.

    Or the wife must be pretty nice?!

    Time to rent a storage unit for the M2. That way you'll keep the miles down and maintain access to the better car.

    I'm on borrowed time I think. More than 2 months in, if there were a garage nearby I'd be all over it. They just don't exist around here.

    Don't do it, it'll be tough finding another super clean e36 m3!

    Just went through this whole thread, such a beautiful car. Hope you can keep it, I still regret selling my E46 M a few years ago with low miles.

    Been keeping it hidden in the garage, covered. But have been able to sneak it out for a few autox and some cruising. Did a quick tire rotation, inside wheel cleaning, and checking of the brakes. Planning for an hpde in a month or so, might get some new front pads prior. Should still have it.

    Today's a good day. We passed California smog! That time you're sitting, waiting for your turn, as the cats start to cool after flogging on the freeway to heat them up... 10, 15 minutes. How long is too long before you pull the eject and go re-heat?

    The sad part - I've only driven 3,330 since the last smog, 2 years ago.

    It's actual magic. Plus remember there's those two horses, one eating in the house.

    I also have a 95, can you do favor and post what the car’s stock ride height measured at? Fender to lower rim as Bentley specifies?
