Again, the new ride is very nice!
We've got some death star plans to conjure up eh

Very cool Dave and nice to see you stayed white

Gorgeous cars, I love that white! I see you're in MA, what are you going to drive in the winter? I was thinking about trading in my DD S4 for an M3 or C63 but doubt it can handle an IL winter. Anyone getting through a winter w/ an M3 on winter wheels/tires?

This is very humorus as my third car is a Honda . It's an 07 Si coupe in black of course . You get that car and we take out all three --we can look like the Brady Bunch .

BTW -- The Honda is front wheel drive and might work well in snow .

Thats your DD.... Ah.


Hahaha, phenominal selections of cars man. Would love to have that setup in my garage!


Edit: I saw your winter dilemma, Im pretty sure you can pick up the 18s, throw some winter tires on them, and you'll be ok. The DSC on M3s are extremely responsive. I drove my E46 M3 in the winter with the 19s, slippery, but with the 18's and winter tires, I'm sure it would be ok. (never got a winter setup since it doesnt snow more then 6 inches here)
