Love it, G! Nice to see there's another person who will fly out to Ohio at the drop of a hat to pick up an M3 - I really enjoyed the drive back. Well done on the sedan over the coupe, too. :thumbup: I've still never gotten a ride in a V8 M.
I've started looking into these things as 4 door fun cars, and there's not a whole lot of downside to this chassis. Rod bearing issues seem to pop up slightly more than should be acceptable (on the sister S85, too), but I'm hoping that's just internet hype, + my hypersensitivity/disbelief that BMW would let yet another known issue creep over to a followup generation.
Add me to the No Black Wheels contingent.
