    New ///M in the Garage

    My mom was getting tired of her 635CSI Auto, so after asking me and my dad for a new car we picked this up for her.

    2002 SMG M3, pretty fun to drive, although I'd prefer a normal 6SPD.

    It is a nice alternative to my loud 328, very quiet at cruise, and really comes alive in the upper RPM range. Very fun in the twisties as well





    And yes its white, 3 white BMW's in the family.

          is your motor really that loud? because below ~3500 when the cam comes on, mine pretty much drives/sounds like stock. people can't even hear me pulling into their driveway, but people do turn their heads if I get on it..

                  Fun to drive. James was kind enough to let me drive it when he was down in Portland 2 weeks ago, and it was FUN! SMG is a tricky thing to get used to, I was pretty bad, lol. But James took me back to Tom's house with him driving, and showed me what it's like with someone driving who KNOWS how to drive SMG, and someone who isn't afraid to drive it fast. Quite entertaining. I've driven one other E46 M3, a cabrio with a 6 speed, and that was much easier for me to drive, the SMG definitely has a learning curve.

                        I have a key, and I maintain the damn thing. If I want to drive it I simply grab it. So I list it, its a BMW I have access to.
