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;)

OMG Bill...  them flags make that thing look OFF THE HOOK cool!
Awesome.  Little known fact, if you look up Baloney in Wikipedia, that
very picture of that very car comes up - go figure.  Somehow just
somehow that things screams - well - BALONEY!  I _so_ love that it found
it's way to you - from a UPS'er via FudUx noless 8-).

See, when I shit I shit you not...  got it???  Vehicular Bonghits are
reserved for a very select level of interior smell, I wouldn't just
throw that phrase around haphazardly or anything you know.  I no
exaggerate when it comes to the great greats, uh uh.

I am truly proud that the thing is in er "good hands" out there (good
but disturbed).  You tell Allison about it yet?  Like when she walked
the garbage out to the garage late Sat. and bagged you applying flags or
something, maybe???

See you 5/17 (BIATCH), and 8/23 otherwise.  I vote Whitey, and leave old
Red @ home - deserves the 7th year off or like something.  Thoooo...
then where'd you sleep - hmmm...

Congrats again me friend!  You are, as always - DA MAN!  Madman, that
is.  Keep up the good werk.

-Paul

ps.  crap, now I's gots to go out and land me a 4th set of wheels - just
to keep up with the Jones'???  Geesh.
