Thanks and Farewell
The time has finally come for me to sell my 96 max. A few months ago, I bought my dreamcar, a 2k3 M3.
I just wanted to thank everyone who over the years has helped me with various questions and issues. There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum that probably saved me hundreds of dollars I would have incurred at the dealership or the like. Good luck to everyone!

Haha, yeah I only use that when some meathead in an Evo wants to race me..youd be amazed at how much gas that button sucks..
My guess is that whoever buys my car won't want the mods, so Id be willing to sell the limited mods I have.. I will post in the for sale section, or PM me
as for pics of the M, http://ebay.carad.com/viewItem/viewA...57&template=48

THere is a 'sport' button on the M3 that increases throttle response considerably, hence giving you quicker acceleration
PS - any chance anyone could hook me up with a CARFAX?

I actually ended up flying from DC to Chicago to get the car. I bought it from business on ebay, though, not a person. I talked to them on the phone, they explained their business model, sent me detailed pics of everythying wrong with it, etc. I also went through a pretty comprehensive checklist when I got there. All in all, I would say do your research. Im not sure that I would travel too far if its an independent seller. But the place I bought from had a near perfect rating history. And when you figure if one little thing is wrong with the car or is not as advertised, you might be inclined to leave negative or neutral feedback. Their record was impeccable, so I decided to check it out. I also benefitted from the fact that its still under factory warranty, so if there was anything wrong, it would be fixed for free. GL

Hey...great car! Make sure you buy the extended warranty....those M3s have lots of things that require stealership visits! My brother has a 2002 M3 and is going to buy the extended plan soon. The dealership said it was the way to go since one of the required maintenance visits is a $1500 trip!
