This is my new toy that I picked up last spring. Still 100% stock, nearly factory new.

And it replaced this, which looks stock, but was far, far from it.

I personally had no problem with Bangle. He was also around for the E60 5-series, which I think is one of the best looking BMWs ever, especially in M guise.

Me neither. I liked all of his designs with the exception of the X3. The E65 7 series has been the best selling 7 series in BMW history. The E65, E60, and E90 do not conform to the same look, but different size motto of old BMW's( though they are going back to that slightly with the F01 7 series, F10 5 series, and we'll see with the F30 3 series). And consumers have responded to that by buying the product.

I was just at the South Florida Auto Show today and the F10 5 series looks good( the GT not so much).

Have to admit when I first saw the pictures I thought it was an E46 M3 CS or CSL but the lip spoiler and steering wheel suggested otherwise.

Enjoy it they are truly awesome cars. I had one in London (same colour) but it's sold now I am working in Qatar. Seriously thought about the new E92 M3 here, very pretty and very accomplished car but not really the country to own something like this as there's nowhere to really drive it to appreciate either its speed or its handling. The E92 M3 also lost a little of the 'rawness' of the E46 M3 which made the outgoing car such a compelling drive. So just settled for the E92 330i I posted previously instead, a car where the cosseting interior and softer ride are more suitable for the stresses of driving in Qatar.

Nice M3 man! How are you liking the Statüs seats? Are they pretty comfy for daily use? Do they hold pretty well when your tracking? I'm thinking of picking up some buckets, but I'm debating between Statüs and Recaro.. Though, I'm leaning a little more towards Statüs cause you don't really see them around :p

I wish it were a CSL, but unfortunately they didn't make it to my continent, otherwise I would have bought one. I understand and agree with what you mean by the rawness that these cars possess. This is my second E46 M3, and I don't see it being my last. The E92 M3 is a nice car, and I can certainly see myself owning one in the future, but I don't think it can match the timeless design of the E46. Truly a great looking and performing car.

Thanks. Before I went with the Status' I looked at Sparco's and Recaro's, but settled on the Status' because they're not very common, and the I liked how the seats' sides, particularly by my hips, were taller and made me feel like I was a fighter jet seat. I can take hard turns at 50mph and move no more than centimeter or two. I also liked the design of the Status', their fixed back design and thin profile. Whatever seat you do end up getting, I'd recommend getting real alcantara or microsuede. It feels and looks great.

Been sharing a car for 2 years. Finally got a new (to us) Jeep for the sig other. Nothing particularly special, but it's what she wanted.

Glad to see another Mitsubishi owner! Nice car. :)

Wow, I've never seen a white Evo X before. The black and white looks mean...almost like the grill is about to eat you!

Nice, love evos. I prefer the older evos, but I wouldn't mind an EvoX :cool:


Thanks everyone. It's an amazing car, even in stock form. :)

Tried some cross processing... not bad I guess?

Wow, your prelude looks REALLY good. Are those S2000 seats?

Thank you! Yes they are S2000 seats. Just take the seat pans out of the OEM Prelude seats and insert them into the S2000 seats. They bolt right in along with the rails so no major modifications are necessary :)

Cool, thanks man! Yeah, status isn't very common, and that's one of the reason's why I'm looking into them.. I'll most likely end up getting microsuede since some of the trim in my Z is suede =P
