I have an E46 M3, Jet black with black leather, 6 spd, 19's, in dash nav, you know basicly loaded. I picked it up with 20,000 original miles and its a 2003, paid $15,000 + my Cobalt SS sedan in trade for her. Only mods so far are a Dinan flash thats netted me a 12.8 at 111mph in the 1/4 mile. The highest I've had it so far was 175. Heres a pic, lemme know what you think of her, one BMW owner to another.

so, what you're saying is, you know enough about "beemers" to not know that a BMW car is a "bimmer" and a BMW motorcycle is a "beemer"?

MOST BMW owners call them all beemers around non-owners due to the fact that most non-owners have no idea what a Bimmer is. I call mine a beemer here and Bimmer on the M3 forums.

Oh and I forgot! Way to go making a newbie feel welcome!

as i've owned several, including a motorcycle, i don't know one BMW fan, at least not a real one that makes that mistake.

and, if someone at a dealership did it, i'd ask for another salesperson that know what the hell they were talking about.

and, for that matter, a 335i isn't an M3.

As I said, its not a mistake as MOST NON-OWNERS DON'T KNOW WHAT A BIMMER IS!

Shes a manager not a salesperson.

I never said it was did I? I don't belive so. I'M the one wit the M3, not her.

And again way to go making a newbie feel welcome! GREAT JOB!

yeah, so she claims.

but, why have a 335i on an M3 forum?

now, if it was a BMW forum, or a 3 series one, sure... but again, one of their forum posters wouldn't make that mistake with out 3443454345 flames.

yeah, i dunno man, i just get really offended when people don't make the distinction. i'm a a big time BMW guy, and i hate that 90% of the current owners just don't get it.

didn't mean to be a dick to you.

No No No man we're cool serioously no harm no foul. But honestly if you said to a crowd of Cobalt owners that you owned a bimmer they'd all look at you like or .
The only time I call mine a beemer is around here so people know what I mean. What was it that Bandit said in the first Smokey and the Bandit movie, something about where your at in the country determins how stupid you look, or something along those lines. Same deal with bimmer and beemer.

BE NICE!


I got her from Russel BMW of Ellicott City. They wanted 35, I talked them down to 30, they gave me 15 for the Cobalt so my M3 ran me 15+ taxes and tags and lojack and the etching I had done. My payments are $480 a month but we round that up tp $500 so it'll be paid off faster. As for a ride, sure! Bring a towel to sit on But drive her? Ummmm....... my WIFE doesn't drive her and she does things to me I KNOW you won't!

Maybe, maybe not. The only thing I could see is that in one post she had and SS/SC and in another she had a 2.4. That and in doing the math, she's worked with BMW since she was 15.

Soooooooo the Germans still believe in child labor, whats wrong with that? Give her a chance to explain she may have done a typo, I know I have a time or 3.

And your dot is red.

And she may not know that the SC is a 2.0 as opposed to the SS/NA 2.4. I know a lot of people who wrongly assume that the SC is the biggest of the 3 motors.

well, there is that, and something about the OP was odd too, i mean, how many brake pads can you go through in a year?

you'd have to be using them on a track... something don't seem right.
