This is an awesome review of the car I have, read on and if you are a car enthusiast, you will love it: http://www.elepent.com/review.php?nr=320 or here if it's gone: here.

I got lucky with this purchase on August 9th, sort of an early birthday present for myself. M3s are hard to get because there is a waiting list for them new and the used ones with decently low miles get snatched up immediately. I got lucky because I had been looking around for a nice M3 with low miles and silver with all the options (except navigation). Well all the used ones I've called around were too pricey but one day while calling BMW of Sterling, I heard they had a new one that was SMG and they were selling for a little over 60k (only a few more than some used). I was like, what is this SMG? The salesman gave me a pitch which after much homework I find out is not a pitch afterall. For more info on SMG, click here (flash) and here. I'd explain the SMG II system but hey just go to the sites coz they do a super job explaining. It's just simply amazing.

That's what it is, pretty complicated at first but you get the hang of it...

2nd best seat in the house.

SMG II, Cd player up front + 6 disc in the back..etc.

After 3100 miles I can finally take it over the suffocatingly low 5500 rpms.

I just need some tints.

No need for a body kit.

Nappa leather

Harman Kardon sound system and M3 badging

Driver seat view

Inline 6 Engine producing 333 HP propels this car 0-60 in 4.8/5.0 (manual/auto modes)

2 dual exhausts (sounds repetitive) and the most covetted of all badges..

This 2-door coupe exterior styling is superb.

Serious performance you can drive everyday.

19" alloy wheels, gun polish makes it chrome-like.

My next upgrade ANGEL EYES just like these black ones have:
