Some German car with an M on it (99 M3 Coupe)

So I decided I wanted a daily driver that was a little more comfortable and a lot quieter than the Trans Am. I also needed something with a little more storage area. However, I also know I wouldn't be happy with something that's completely boring.

I tossed around a lot of ideas in my head for a while and those requirements eventually led me to my newest purchase, a 1999 BMW M3 Coupe with 122k miles on the clock.

To start off my first day of BMW ownership, I woke up early and hungover as hell to make the trek to the DMV. 30 minutes and a few hundred dollars later, I had my plates and registration.

Excited to test the car out, I took it down a back road close to my grandparents house. On the first hill I heard a noise that was absent all throughout the test drive and trip back form northern va. At first, I thought something had moved around in the trunk, but the noise ended up getting worse over every bump.

So I drove the car back to my grandparents house and ripped trunk apart to find the source. Turns out I had one of the common M3 problems, a torn rear shock mount. Unfortunate that it happened on the first day I owned the car, but not a big deal to fix. I've already ordered the reinforced rogue engineering replacements and hopefully they'll show up around midweek so I can get this thing back on the road.

Other than that, I also have the sloppy shifter that is common to E36 M3's and the driver side seat doesn't tilt. I'll get around to fixing these in time, but neither are that big of an issue.

Anyway, here are a few pictures. It really is an exceptionally clean car for the age.
