M3 for me

Working on a deal for a '98 M3. This one is a 5-speed sedan. Car is cosmos black on black and is immaculate.

The only car I regret selling was my 95 M3 coupe, so thought I'd try it again. This one comes with an extra set of rims and snow tires. A shame to drive in the winter, but life is tough.

I don't need a big car, I could do a M coupe as well.

Not sure if this deal will work, we'll see.

Oh, the ride height. If it was lowered, it wouldn't last long in a MN winter. Plus I'm over 40.

When you're over 40 it's the right time to lower your car...or is it 50?

I can understand the lifespan being shorter, but over 40! Bah! No excuses!



2 reasons.... They make coilovers that have 238941707 adjustments for everything from stiffness, joust, rebound to sandwich making. Well, almost. And half of the balding gentlemen that go to local EuroSunday meets drive stupid modified cars... Some are lower than the asphalt of the street, and feel like a piece of steel is welded in place of the strut...

If it was lower, then I could use it to plow snow.

I'm not balding, nor fat. Also, this is Minnesota. People don't get into cars like they do in Cali. Boring in that respect.

She's safely tucked away in the garage. Nothing like a str-6 and a stick!
