Getting ready to say goodbye... From past to present.

D.yi · 01-29-2010, 02:39 PM

well some of you guys know i am getting out of my 335i due to some financial stress. i am planning on staying BMW by getting a e46 M3 vert and saving some money. it really is sad to see her go. i posted an ad in the classifieds and will be doing so on craigslist soon.

first 3 are when i first got the car and the last 3 are present. mods in sig...

thanks for looking guys.

daheechang · 01-29-2010, 02:44 PM

clean ride. sorry about the car, but you're getting an amazing car in return as well. although i'd rathe go for the hardtop, not the vert

Verbiage · 01-29-2010, 02:55 PM

Sorry to hear that, but I agree with ^^^ you're getting another amazing machine to compensate, and getting the same speed and more power in return. I hope everything works out for you and good luck with the sale

D.yi · 01-29-2010, 03:07 PM

thank guys... yeah i was thinking coupe at first but i really do miss the days when i had my s2000 with the top down.

Don't sweat it, I'd take the E46 M suspension and the LSD any day over JB3 N45.

D.yi · 01-29-2010, 03:14 PM

yeah... i test drove an m3 the other day and the suspension + lsd not to mention the na straight six was amazing in a completely different way. i am going to miss the unlimited low end torque the n45+jb3 gave me. the interior in the 335i i will miss as well.

jibaholic101 · 01-29-2010, 03:18 PM

damn! i hope you dont have to wait out too long for the e46

Yeah, there are always things that get toned down a bit. But always new things to love

I personally love seeing those E46's. Does it have the 19's on it? What color is she?

D.yi · 01-29-2010, 03:21 PM

yeah i have a feeling it will take me forever to find the ONE. i am pretty picky as far as color, options, mies, maint history, vehicle history, and owner history.

Havent found her yet

Verbiage · 01-29-2010, 03:22 PM

Ohh I thought you had picked one out already..

XDEEDUBBX · 01-29-2010, 03:27 PM

not a downgrade but not a complete upgrade but a definite step to the side with an incline LOL

nice looking ride

dave herzog · 01-29-2010, 06:19 PM

how many miles on e92, and how much is the e46 vert? can't imagine you save much money trying to unload an e92 and paying tax plus possible insurance hike plus maintenance costs on an older m3, but you're doing the right thing anyway.

D.yi · 01-29-2010, 06:24 PM

im hoping to have around 9k after i pay my loan off. 20-25k for a m3 vert (uncle has dealer license so we go to the auctions and get cars at wholesale) finance something like 13-18k after tax and interest. payments will be something like 250-350.

as far as maintenance is concerned 2 of my uncles (not the dealer) have independent mechanic shops and have been mechanics for 15+ years. they charge me their cost on parts (25% off) and i do the work. obviously somethings are more difficult so they help me and i learn. i think thats part of the fun.

dave herzog · 01-29-2010, 06:30 PM

that's awesome! if i had that kind of set up, i wouldn't have bothered getting rid of my e46 in the first place. have fun with the better driving experience, and good luck with the sale.

D.yi · 01-29-2010, 06:45 PM

yeah i consider myself lucky to have a set up like i do... i just hope i can find the car that i want. the color combo is rare lol... AW/IR or CB/IR.

as for it being a side step on a slight incline haha
i know its going to be slower but yeah i am excited!

Kroy · 01-29-2010, 06:56 PM

sorry to see you go, but e46 M3 vert isn't bad at all. sure you want a vert in seattle though?

bavarian19 · 01-29-2010, 09:05 PM

Vert in seattle seems kinda odd.

ibeclueless · 01-29-2010, 09:14 PM

nice car, it sucks that you have to let it go

Addicted2Boost · 01-29-2010, 09:15 PM

gl with your next car

Craig@SupremePower · 01-29-2010, 09:16 PM
