I'm so torn... I don't know if I should go through with mine or wait for a Tii. The sedan aspect of the M3 through does have major selling points.
Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?
lucky

Yeah, I know... the last thing I want to get into is the importing of parts for the Tii a la like the CSL days. Too much work.
The M3 sedan would be perfect, I'm just wary about driving a such a monster to work every day. Rumors of 13mpg would necessitate of daily stop at the gas station.

Wow... I was getting 19-20 in my old M3, I only get between 17-19 in the M Roadster... I'm guessing due to aerodynamic drag. If I do a tank with the top down, I'm down in the 15-17 range. If I drive on the highway with the top down... forget it, it is like somebody poked a hole in the gas tank.

Yesterday, I saw either a fantastic (read perfect) 2008 M3 conversion, or a genuine '08 M3 in NE Cobb County, GA. It was mystic blue, 2dr, with the M3 grills, badges, and quad exhaust. I tried to briefly follow, but a traffic light caught me. I was driving my mystic blue '04 M3, and really wanted to get a pic of the 2 cars together. Anyway, it was very close to my home, so I might catch this car out again.....

Saw another one today - silver 4dr., also in NE Cobb county, Atlanta area. Two now in 2 days, both definately '08 M3s. Something is happening with these cars here. I have a project related to the redevelopment of the Nalley BMW dealership in Decatur - the GM had indicated in Dec. that they would not be here until April. I may have to see if he knows anything different.
Pretty sure you got my dream colors on that car. I bet it's going to be an amazing ride.

It's not speed that kills, it's the speed difference that does. Obviously you aren't going fast enough.
