This Day Has Finally Come!!!
Ladies, Gentlemen and Werkzians of all ages. My friends, as many of you know and as my never ending hints have suggested, a spectacular surprise has been a long time coming. As some of you know, I made a serious play for a new E92 M3 when they first came out but in the end, things did not work out. Well, they say things happen for a reason, and they sure did this time - and I am THRILLED. Thank you for putting up with all the BS that led to this incredible happy result! So without further ado, please allow me to introduce you to the “Dark Knight”...The new baby's details followed by pics:
2005 E46 ///M3 S3-R CONVERTIBLE (with custom hard top). Jet Black with Silver Gray Full Leather interior. 48K miles, factory warranty intact and approximately 88K miles left on Dinan Warranty as Dinan upgrades completed in 3/07. This monster does 0-60 in 4.23 seconds and 0-100 in 10 flat. I was waiting for some shots with the top down, but it never came together this weekend and so here are some pics with the hardtop on and of the engine compartment, with top-down shots to follow soon.
