new car -- 2008 e93 m3 convertible
#31
hahhahaha, you know very well that the problem is not ME, it's my CFO!!!!!!!!!!
i want to lower the car, but not coilovers since the car has edc and i don't want to lose it. want to get wheels too but i want 19s so i can use the stock tires (there is a reason for that).
i also looked at the front and rear cf lip, couple of nice ones too. but seriously, when i saw the prices of those lips, i chuckled a bit. don't ever say again lexus aftermarket parts are expensive. they are nothing compared to what you pay for a freaking lip!
since it's a leased car we definitely don't plan to spend major money like my lexus

Hey Henry, congratulations on the new ride...the M3 is sweet. Last time we talked I thought you were leaning towards the M5...guess it's been a long time
I definitely want to meet up and check out the car in person. Ha, we got matching white cars

Nice ride, congrats! Alpine white looks great on the car. I think your assessment and comparison is spot on. In terms of acceleration/speed, the e93 is definitely slower than its e92/e90 brethren, so it's also going to be slower than the F.
Anyways, how do you think the e93 handles compare to the e92? Is there any noticeable difference due to the additional weight?

Congrats Henry! It looks like a fun ride.
I didn't realize you were right by UCI. I just moved offices, but my old office was right near the Jamboree exit off the 73.

thanks again guys
i wouldn't say the e93 is "dead" but it's definitely slower, and you can feel the car is on the heavy side, although it's still extremely balanced. on bmwusa.com, the e93 m3 0-60 is rated 5.1, that's not that impressive at all
lol, the problem is, a lot of people in OC are rich, and i am NOT one of them!
oh man, i passy by 73 and jamboree every day! 73/55/5 every day
