Curtis was on vacation so I worked with Johnny. Would have waited, but they had some nice cars and I just wanted something new. Shhh... dont mention "parts" when the wife can hear.

Congrats Dave! I think your family will appreciate the Bimmer.

As for parts, I would think twice before buying. A $300 intake will give you about 3 hp. Of course, a supercharger will give you some real punch, but that's like 5 gs. I'm probably only going to get wheels and coils.

Check out www.e46fanatics.com. There's a whole lot of eye candy in the showroom and a bunch of ignorance/arrogance in the other sections.

Damn I like that red Richie. Wow. We saw a couple like that, but nothing in good condition. A couple pics of ours. We dont have such a nice neighborhood to take pics in so bear with my ghetto St Louis Hts pics.

Thanks, I completely love the car. And it has enough power to make me happy, the steptronic is ok to mess with, but usually just leave it on sport. Nice how it stays in gear so you could auto-x with it pretty nicely. Im not putting anything into it speedwise, I just cant keep doing that. All I "may" do is wheels/tires, and possible some subtle appearance mods. Nothing major since I really dont want to get back into spending all that money on cars again. Tint of course and wouldnt mind a nice looking rear spoiler, but havent seen any I like yet.
