3rd car thoughts

These are so cheap now and weirdly enough I miss mine a lot.

As a third car it seems like a no brainer.

The S.O. is in the process of getting rid of the Camry and looking for an X5.

This would be more a daily and fun car.

I've had that thought once or twice and, after seeing what's out there, promptly dismissed it.

The clutches are vastly different between the m5 to the m3, making it a bit of a challenge going back and forth, plus you must be a masichist if you'd do dove gray again (although I did with my 2 m3cs). Why not get a convertible if it's going to be an extra car anyway?

Just have to find the right enthusiast owned and maintained car.

Yeah. I know.

Not in the mood to exert that level of energy just to find another E36.

In fact my old one is back for sale in cincinnati. Nice to see it's still in pretty good shape 4 years after I sold it

WOW!! Look at the condition of this thing!! Some one got a great car.

Best looking E36 M3 seats I have ever seen.

There is no way in HELL I would get dove grey seats again. NEVER!!

I need to acquire another E36 M3 before they all go to hell. Not (at the very least) until after I buy a house, though...

This is nice to. I am really liking the arctic white. Mulberry seats are rare also. Seem to hold up better then the other leathers.

Before I got my fern green vert I was looking at a 99 AW/Tan vert that was pretty sweet.
