Congrats Henry. I'm beginning to feel that I should have followed your advice and gotten the convertible especially with summer coming around. BTW, great color. What kind of wheels have you considered so far?

henry, mucho congrats on your awesome car.

i know you had the SC430 so you're not new to convertibles, but the way the M3 sounds must make it really exhilarating with the top down.

yup, both of them are convertibles but they are so different.

at the same time, after driving the m3, i really appreciate the unbelievable build quality of the sc430!
