whoa whoa whoaaa Mike hold up i had NO IDEA you were such a car guy! dude i thought you were all about watches!!
huge congrats on such fine taste, the e92 m3 never caught my attention because i am still so madly in love with the e46 (first manual car i drove actually) but yours feels so diff because you did exactly what i think needs to be done to the e92: TOUGHEN IT UP

still think it's too "slim" and needs bulk like the e46 but this has got to be the finest e92 example i've ever seen

well done mate
and merry christmas to you

Talk about a thread revival and a good memory. I haven't gotten round to doing that yet, so I apologize. I'm on vacation now, but I'll do my best in the new year. I'll be sure you let you know

None, I love driving all of them when time permits. Minimum use is once every 10 days.

Thanks b! I wish it were just the one, as both passions are not easy on the cash

I appreciate the kind comments, means a lot. I am actually rebuilding my Mini's engine myself. You should see what it looks like in the garage now

I too have a soft spot for the E46. Had a CSL for a short while, but I let it go after I discovered it was not as clean as I originally thought.

This is by far my favorite M3. I've browsed this thread about 5 times and thought I would look at it again yesterday haha.

Just went through all 28 pages of the thread again, your M3 is really something else Mike. So fun watching its progression throughout the thread, hope you are still enjoying it!


Now when is it getting the Gintani Stage 2 supercharger system?

Maybe you should ask him that after he's finished the MINI project.

DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE PICS OF THE MINI!!!
sorry to learn about the CSL, do you pics of the time you had it?

also, can you please give an insight on how the SMG (if that's what it still is in the e92 ) compares to the F1 in fcars? if you ever get around to it
