[s-cars] nac, e36 final edition

10 days ago Paul (I can drive anything and have) K mentioned the M3 sedan
that his buddy and sfest hoster Brian, had just acquired for sale.  Today
it's sitting in my driveway... rebhadged as possibly the world's only M3,
Light Weight Wannabe Sedan.  It is without a doubt, the cleanest, newest
looking 11 year old M3, five speed, sedan around, of that I am purdy durn
sure.  It was said to be mintmintmint and it is.

My Clueless Racing neighbor and his brother were very helpful in assisting
with Friday nites fedex delivery, especially since it was three hours late
and didn't arrive until 10:30.  This allowed us ample time to finish off
three bottles of LaFinDuMonde in addition to some stuff with a black label
on it.  Fortunately there were no mishaps and the fedex guy didn't listen to
a word we said.  BTW this was the biggest fedex truck on the planet.. 85
foot trailer and the cab was prolly another 30.  Over a hundred feet of
fedex truck lights rebirthing an M3 sedan made it a night to live for.
I did the Motorsport flag install today in spite of it reminding the gal I
live with that I am out of my mind.  Without the flag set the white car is
just a fridge IME.  Front was relatively easy, but the rear was a challenge
indeed.  I would recommend this be tried by the faint of heart.  I did get
better at it as work progressed.  These flag sets as far as I could find,
are only made for the coupe, and so there was a lot of cutting and fitting
to do to fit it to the sedan.
The side Motosport door inserts were a piece of cake once I figured out that
the molding just needed to be popped out to remove the old inserts that
merely said M3.  ha!
I did have chance to drive this to the Cubs game yesterday and it is quick
and does handle very well.  Very well.  I "may" well consider the Dinan
supercharge down the road, but spending $7k all once alwaze brings better
ideas how to spend 7k on other stuff.
That's enough bimmer dribble.
I should be getting the remotored avant pig back this week I think;)
