Juniorbean's 2003 BMW M3 Coupe (Purchase on Pg 3)
I wanted to share some photos of my amazing 2003 M3 with you fellow car lovers before it sells. I'm the third owner, have had it for the last 6 years, and it's currently sitting at 135k miles. Photos taken yesterday!

I bought it with 82k on it. All maintenance including tires and part refresh we're about $6500. Not too bad.

Holy cow this is too weird. I was literally JUST talking to my wife about your car yesterday on a road trip. We were driving my truck and she was like, maybe we do need a road trip car (funny how things come full circle). I was like, well, there's this BMW M3 on the forum I've had my eye on and he's not terribly far from us.
Too funny. Car looks good

Having recently bought a new Scatpack Charger, I can say with 100% certainty that a Hellcat in either the Challenger or Charger would be a ridiculously fun car.
There are some heavily discounted new 17's sitting around ($55k Challengers) but you must be willing to travel.

No, that's my wife's daily. The rest are trucks. The Tundra is actually good for trips but since it's all vinyled, trying to keep that to business use and towing only.
The Jeep is lifted and while it can be used on the highway no problem, longer trips can be interesting. It also only has 2 seats (we removed the rear) so we just use that around town and the FJ is lifted and loud (tires, exhaust, general FJ design) so while I don't mind it, it can be a long trip when using that.
Originally the Porsche was the road tripper, then sold that for the Vagon, which I then sold for the business stuff and used the remainder towards the AMG... so trying to convince the wife to get that road tripper vehicle again

I drove it up to Knoxville,TN last week to get it out of the path of Irma and it did fantastic! That was also one of the first times I've been able to take it on some curvy roads with elevation changes and it was a blast! I mainly kept it tame so my 7 year old wouldn't get car sick in the back. ![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Too funny. We were probably about 2 hours or so from each other. We were in Banner Elk (not to escape the hurricane, but for a wedding) that weekend. GREAT roads up there! Only reason we drove the truck is b/c there were some dirt roads (hard packed, but still), so we left the AMG home.

60 mph and up the Charger walks it, but up to 60 it's pretty close. Best 0-60 time I got in the M3 was 4.8, the Charger so far is 4.6. However, I think the Charger could get down into the low 4's if I could manage a launch without wheel spin.
