The latest addition to the GSP Stable. A 2002 E46 M3 w/ SMG II.
Although the newest M3 is quite a bit heavier than the E30 M3, I
feel it recaptures the spirit of the original. The engine has that
same high RPM magic (albeit without the vibration). And while the
SMG shifting takes a while to learn to use properly, once you do
get the hang of it, it is amazing!

My E30 M3 has become modified to the point where it is no longer fun to drive
in LA traffic. Hence it spends most of its time warm and dry in the garage
waiting for its call to track duty or auto crossing. The daily driver is
a 325i Touring. The touring is a real stripper in order to keep weight down
and performance up. No sunroof, 5-speed, manual seats, sport package. We
picked it up in Germany (Euro delivery) which is an experience I highly recommend
to any prospective BMW buyer. I really love the design of the E46 wagon - I think
BMW just nailed it. And the look on SUV driver's faces when I pass them on 70 mph
freeway transitions is priceless 8^)
