2 weeks in!

I've had the car for two weeks now and love to drive it whenever I can get a chance. The only con I have about it is the tires absolutely suck. I ended up going with the RS-A's because I figured they wouldn't last long anyway, but they are awful on this car. Once I burn through the rears I'll be putting on Michelin Pilot Super Sports in a 275 vs. the stock 245. Maybe then I'll be able to put down some decent 0-60 times and have traction in the rain.

In a few more weeks I plan to polish and seal the paint, so I'll get some better photos afterwards.

I've got them on the M3 and they are fantastic tires. Loads of grip in wet and dry conditions!

Really well! The roads were wet so I wasn't really pushing it too much, but was very happy with how it handled.

M3 Update

I mentioned in this thread that I was slowly going to make the M3 perfect again. Here's the progress at 132k miles. Not listed below is new hood grill, kidney grills, side emblems, brakes, belts, and stuff like that.

Once done, it'll be up for sale. Craving a Hellcat Charger.
Cleaned throttle bodies, replaced lower windshield trim piece, cleaned EVERYTHING

New emblem

Cleaned thoroughly, maybe a bit too thoroughly


Removed clearcoat from wheels a few years ago, but they needed polished



Leatherique'd the interior

Thanks everyone! Going to list it for $19K. That's after a few more goodies get installed/cleaned and a photoshoot for memories and listing.

Yeah, blue book and whey they are selling for definitely don't match up. I'm also not in a huge rush to sell so I can wait for the right buyer.

Trust me...I'm in the exact same boat...V wagon and S2000...both of them show up much lower than market value.
I definitely think you'll get what you want. I was THISSSSS close to a Laguna CSL rep one a few months back...guy selling it was
hiding tons of issues and tried to convince me that it drove horribly because that's how BMW's drive and I wasn't used to a real performance machine.


Glad I walked from that one and he was $16K firm.

Wow, no kidding about walking away! It shouldn't have drove horribly that's for sure. These M3s have a noisy driveline (M-clunk) but other than that, they are a blast to drive.

Who cares about the M3 (kidding of course, it's an awesome car!). The only thing I read that mattered to me in that paragraph was "Hellcat Charger". For this I will be eternally jealous of you, but hope to live vicariously through you, until I secure enough wealth to afford one myself. Carry on.

Same here, F150 + Flex puts me around 585, until Livernois puts their hands on the F150.
