Yesterday my search for the right M3 was finally finished. I have been searching for nearly a year and ever since Archiesfest I have had a team of M3 owners helping me with the search. Thanks to Jack, Fred and Shant as well as the other members that have helped me out the past few months. I have looked and made offers on many cars from rolling chassis cars to a M3 convertible over the past year and this car seemed to fit the bill.
I knew this car well and had joked the owner for several years about selling her to me. Dave called me a week or so ago and we tried to negotiate a fair price but I could not afford his asking price. The night before last, after a few beers,:drink: I made him another offer and we came to terms.
This morning I took the old girl out to stretch her legs. This was the first time I had driven an M3 with an S14 motor. I decided to take her up Palomar Mountain. During the ride I stopped to take a couple of pictures to share with you all.
As I drove the car through the twisties I got what I call "M3 Goose Bumps". What an amazing car, I feel very lucky to be the caretaker of this old girl and look forward to many years of great times with her.
Cheers,
Jim
