A pair of M3s

**glendog74** · 21-10-2013, 12:02 AM

After my recent purchase of a 2004 E46 M3 as my daily car, today was the first chance I have had to clean both and take a few photos of them together.

The Laguna Seca Blue car is in fantastic condition partly due to it's low miles. The interior is simply immaculate and the original exhaust system is still in great shape apart from a little rust on the mild steel clamps. I even like the OEM 18" wheels!

The drive is a little different to the CSL of course... It is certainly a nice place to be when just cruising and the comfort levels are a tad more refined than the CSL too. The exhaust note is surprisingly fruity when you put your foot down but it is when you do decide to push on a little more that the manual gearbox feels cumbersome and the brakes begin to feel a little maxed out when compared to the CSL (with APs).

It's nice to have a choice now though!

Some photos:
