Default Saying Goodbye

Hello folks,
I haven't been on the forum for few months due to got a new job. I just traded my beloved 05 LS 430 for 11 e92 m3. She has been great to me and I know I am going to miss her, I have owned so many diff cars throughout the years and to me nothing can compare to the LS series in term as high quality marksmanship. I am not going to find that in the M3 for sure, I really missed the m3 I sold like 4 years ago. I just have to come back to the M3 . I thank Club Lexus for everything, I have learned lot about Lexus since I became the members. I will jump back and forward between Lexus and Bmw sites..
Here is a peek of my new gf.

Nice car!

I have been debating between selling the Lexus LS430 and Lotus Elise for the new M3 or CTS-V. Hard choice when the LS430 is still such a nice and reliable car.

It's the hood scoop, I'm sure! The LS430 does not have the hood scoop...

I was in that mode in a long long time but then I realize if I don't do it then I would never do it...every car will break down by times even with the LS , I still can get back to the LS when I can't drive like an *** anymore.

I'm thinking about selling my 430 very dependable car but very vague driving it's like it's very smooth but a little boring for my taste!

I had a '11 M3 6MT several years ago. What a fun car to drive! That V8 is a beast!
