    I miss it so much. I grew up in Sonoma, and lived there until about high school. I would move back there in a heartbeat.

          Your M3 is very, very NIIIIIICE. :up:

          Alright. Sell me an IS lip for 14 bucks.

          But really. Nice M3. It's a shame that newer cars are so mod-unfriendly.

            not trying to knock you or anything but why did u go for the 4 door?
            i personally don't really like the look of the new m3 looks to "heavy" not weight wise, although it is a little over 3700, but more like size and appearance.

            Just curious as to the handling i have driven a few e90's through my job, and i just feel like i am not connected to the road just wondering if the new m is any better than the regular 3's?

              OK, I'll just build my own ;) what's your final drive in the '88?

              This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.

                  3.25, which I like since I am running the ZF box out of the E36. It's a bit low for my tastes on long highway trips but nothing I can't get over since it's not my daily driver.

                  As for Car Addict, handling the same as the normal 3? Seriously, it's an M car that alone should answer your question. As far as it being heavy and feeling numb, it puts up better grip numbers, braking acceleration, and everything else than older cars. Old things may be fun to drive because of their quirks but they're just not a match for modern engineering, even with increased vehicle weight.
