Maybe in a few years when they're 25 years old I'll find a S50B32 M3/4 and bring it over.
I'm still on the fence about listing my e46 m3.

I think equ and AF compete for the biggest car flippers on this board.

I am challenging Nate for the longest owned.

But you have a second ride you always flip. That keeps you from selling the M3 and keeps the new car jitters at bay.
