Rocky, you should get the UUC DSSR for your M3. I got one with my EVO3 short shifter and it works great together. The stock shifter on my M5 sucked, not anymore though!

Sweet lookin M3, BTW.

You traitor! j/k How come beemers get uglier w/ each new generation? That body style was the best one. Car looks good Rocky. I guess the same can be said of the subaru. GC-8's were the best looking of the bunch, then the hideous bugeye, then it got a little better but then the new ones are really ugly.

i agree, cars just keep getting more round as each year goes by (like a jelly bean) the older late 90's cars were all square and edgy...they look mean

I was thinking of getting a e36 m3 but my dad wants me to get a wrx instead. What do you suggest having done it yourself?

both are great cars...its apples and oranges, i can't compare em, i can just list thier strong points. The WRX is great, power is easily achieved cheaper, handles well, it can go to the snow, its newer, great car to learn in, and you get the love of the BAIC. The M3 is more of a purists car. it is perfectly balanced. with the right modificatations it gets even better. where the WRX makes the power, the M3 makes up in being able to flat out carv corners up yet if you want to step on it and feel a kick in the ***, u better BMW (bring money with) and i mean lots!!! by no means am i bashing the awd suby. i just love the response and turn in of the M3 maybe its the rear wheel drive. but i am not missing the power of the rex. also the M3 has oversteer and the door shuts with a clunk not a ting. and to say one last thing did i say i miss my suby and i would take both if i could .

but when i get out to the track i will keep you posted

was thinking of a shark injector...but the gains are kinda minimal, especially if you decide to do cams and such you have to buy new software, and can;t resell the old so i am gonna hold off for now...

Rocky, was that you in front of me the other day?
I was driving through Fairfax on my way home and a silver BMW was in front of me. The person stuck thier arm out of the window in a kind of a wave then they continued straight once we reached the valley.

Hope all is well.
