sold the CL

and bought a 95 M3 blue on white interior. So clean and well maintained i couldn't pass it up. Its look incredible.



So, i guess i'm out of the family. Had to sell the CL, i was too worried about the tranny. Wierd noises, clunking. It wasn't working for me.


The bimmer is so fucking clean i still can't believe it. It will be in my possession on thursday, so i'll post pics then.


I'll still be around though.

So thats why you haven't responded to my PM's, busy buying a new car.

Welcome to the BMW family (my family has 2). You should join he BMW Car Club of America. They are actually holding an autocross this weekend.

PM me if you still want me to take pics of the Talon or need help taking pics of this one.

Good luck with it, they're great cars.

My bad. I've been so busy. The car and everything else. I haven't even been on the site.


I'll throw you a call sometime this weekend. Maybe friday? not sure though. I have a meeting with a couple of rally guys about opening a local rally cross park.


Northern Jersey has room, just no permits.

No problem, I've been a little busy myself lately.

This weekend is kinda shot. Hopefully I'll be going to the Autocross on Sunday but I have to see, apparently my family has other plans that I have to try and get out of. So if you can go, I may see you there. Seriosly though, you should sign up for the BMW CCA, its a great bunch of guys, plus they have tons of cool meetings and it only cost like $35. Plus you get a discount at the autocrosses for addmission.

But, yeah, just gimme a call and we'll set up a time and stuff. Good luck with the car and all the rally stuff. Sounds cool.

Thanks to everyone who congratulated me on this thread.


I drove the car home today and its a fucking dream.

RWD is great. i love it. such a change. Hate to see the CL go, but i had sell it.


This m3 is perfect for me. I've already sourced a manual transmission and have bought a borla exhaust, dinan chip. I'm getting coilovers next, then some rims. It needs an upper struts mounts also, i'm not liking the front flex too much, although its barely noticable.


Anyway, you'll stil hear from me. i'm not going anywhere.
