So now you own an S4, a E39 530i and an E46 M3?

Either case, can we see a custom shot please? Just take a picture of every car you actually own, with their manual opened on the boot please

BTW what kind of plate is that? You live in the US but that front plate isn't a tipical US one am I wrong?

I imported the car directly from BMW germany, that's why it has the euro plates on it, and the interior options that aren't available in the US.





i can take more pics later

the 5 series is in storage (different insurance premium, so have to call agent before driving)

The thing I'm really impressed with from the E46 M3 is the sound, it's so mechanical, you hear everything working under the hood. FANTASTIC

I was not expecting anything like that, and how the engine pops and crackles when it is first started

I might be a little bit crazy about german cars, just a little.

Thanks for the pics, I think they could be enough but well, the day you have 5 minutes to put the manual on the boot and take a shot it will be even better I know, I'm picky, but well, not a big deal for the S4 and M3 will do for now just be sure to take maybe some group pics of the cars together sooner or later you will drive the 530 anyway.

Default M3 S4

M3 vs. S4: friendly competitors, or sworn enemies?

Thanks

The S4 is sure a good allrounder, but I'd pick the E46 anyday I fear

1250 miles is too damn many before the engine is worn in.

I'm also really impressed with the torque of the M3 engine, it makes you want to keep up shifting even at low revs, it pulls so smoothly.

can't beat the torque of a Z06 though, that thing's insane wheel spin oversteer in second gear from like 10 mph, got to ride in one of those on a race track, quite exciting i might say. espcially when the driver doesn't give you enough time to fasten the seatbelt before he launches onto the race track.

there's an exercise for you, trying to hold your body from flying around the inside of a Z06, while it's racing around a tight course pulling 1G in every direction, with NO seatbelt.
