Goodbye G35'ers

Hey guys (and gals), around xmas time, I got hit while driving my G35c and the ins. co. totalled it. I was perfectly fine though; only the side airbags went off. Anyways, I've been shopping around for new and used G35c's again and also some used M3's. I was very close to getting an 05 DG coupe (loaded except front chin spoiler), but I ended up buying an '01 M3 Coupe last Thursday.

I still think the G35 coupe is a sexy b!tch and I love seeing and hearing others drive by, but this M3 was kept in very good condition and the price was good. I'll still stop in from time to time to offer some help with what I know about the cars.

Here are the specs on the car:
2001 Jet Black M3 Coupe 6 speed manual
19" BBS CH wheels w/ Yoko AVS Sport tires (also giving me OEM 18's)
Bilstein PSS9 susp & UUC Sway Bars
36,800 miles when purchased
Cold Weather Package, Pwr Seats, HK Stereo, sunroof, CD player.

Here are a couple more pix. I didn't want to be stuck on 1,666 posts for a while (too evil for me).

M3's looking sweet...well we understand. As long as your heart belongs to G35. haha Can I ask how much of a price difference between the M3 and G35 was? Can I ask how much the M3 was?

Congrats bro. You can't go wrong with an M3 with such low mileage. You should check out the new E90 M3 coming out soon.

Oh man, that car and that weather. I keep on staring at the car and the sky, back and forth. I don't mind the fun in snow, but looking at those pics I miss the summer. Good pics.
And yes, definitely stay in touch and let us know how she holds up.

Those pictures were taken today! It's bright and sunny out here in Cali
I went skiing in Tahoe last weekend and I was sweating my balls off.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for the $$, I got over $34k (plus tax) on the G35 from the insurance co. and I bought the M3 for $33k.

I need to sell some of my G35 stuff, so I'll be back soon to sell it either here or CL or eBay.
-Trunk mat
-foldable sunshade
-owners manual
-Z-tube
-K&N Filter
-Motordyne 3/8" plenum spacer
-wheel locks
-track rims/r-comp tires (BMW has diff bolt pattern )
-one clear corner
-brand new, unused cabin air filter (still in box)
-5 qts of Mobil 1 oil (M3 takes special Castrol 10w-60....$9/Liter!)....
