They just dont look right to me for some reason. But congrats | | | 04-07-2006, 05:50 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Richmond Hill, GA Posts: 1,231 | I only got the convertible because it was actually a better deal than the coupe. they had 2 at the lot and this one was less miles and cheaper. | | | 04-07-2006, 05:52 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: New Jersey Posts: 363 | I love convertibles, awesome color combo too. Congrats, it's sure to be a beast. You lucky bastard. __________________ RIP Tonka Hitlerietta 08/03/04 - 01/25/05 | | | 04-07-2006, 08:32 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 | Estoril/Dove is a badass setup. | | | 04-07-2006, 01:18 PM | #6 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | looks nice! did the other one have a manual trans? __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 04-07-2006, 02:44 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: PA Posts: 822 | Thats a mighty fine car you purchased.

The hard top for the convertible makes the car look unique... I like that look. | | | 04-07-2006, 03:37 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Hinsdale, IL. Posts: 181 | Welcome - I also have an M3 Cab in Techno Viollett/Dove Grey/auto with matching hardtop. You'll like the auto in traffic and you'll also find out that the trans is really well engineered. It acutally follows you in gear and downshifts on its own so that you're always in the correct gear for the power band. I am also getting 26 MPG in my daily commutes ! | | | 04-07-2006, 09:17 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Richmond Hill, GA Posts: 1,231 | I got out today and actualy TESTED the car and I can't be any more pleased. Even though I wanted the manual the auto transmission is just as good I believe. Plus here in Tacoma traffis is really bad because of the people that commute to Seattle. | | | 04-07-2006, 09:51 PM | #11 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | Nice looking car,i'm not a vert fan but looks nice. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 04-07-2006, 09:55 PM | #12 | doesn't care about you.

The convertible looks better than the cali-top'd Ti. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 04-07-2006, 10:03 PM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Hinsdale, IL.
