My car made a new friend in the parking deck at work!

2006/2007 STi. Very clean.

Also, since this picture was taken, we've gained two more friends. Red NA miata and a white sn95 GT. Both pretty clean. (I'll take a picture of all 4 later if they're still their when I leave.)

E46 is mine. :)

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > trmoore09 06/30/2014 at 15:23

What about the Saab? He's all alone in a dark corner, wishing someone would be his friend!

You are my hero

lol I used to park on the other side of the STi, but then someone parked right beside me, so I moved. He's parked right in front of the stairs, and most cars park as close to that as possible. He usually has lots of friends.

Note: the only reason I park in this deck is so that people DON'T park beside me.

Yep, LSB. Thanks! Bought it a little over 2 months ago. 6 Speed, 93k miles.

Agreed! I don't think it'll ever leave our possession.

Awesome! Congrats on the good find.

When I was trying to find one the only LSB cars were not in good shape so I gave up and got grey

Wish I had gotten my dream car before I got married. Le Mans blue 03 e39 M5.

Thanks! They're definitely tough to find. We got lucky and jumped on it before someone else could buy it. The interior needs a little bit of work, but the paint is pretty close to perfect.

There's still time. And M5s have back seats. My wife used to DD our E90 M3 as a nanny hauling around 3 kids.

So great that the paint is close to perfect!

Haha all E46 interiors need work, even if they are low-mileage. I swear BMW used some plastics that are softer than butter. You can scratch it just by looking at it.

Haha, "There's still time." I felt like I was in an apocalypse movie reading that. Well, I need to cut out all my expenses so I can buy her the Audi Allroad she wants, first. Hmm, hunger strike for 6 months ought to do it, looking at my budget.

It's easier to replace interior parts than it is to do paintwork.

Yea, the plastics in the center console are scratched, and the seats are a little worn. Headliner is a little saggy in some places too. Other than that, it's pretty solid. Nothing too difficult to fix.

E90 M3 wheels?

Yep, they are. Good spot.

They look nice, looks like they came with the car, which is good! Means it doesn't jut out.

Yeah paintwork sucks! And it never comes out as good.

It's a bummer how easily seats get worn. I'm convinced that no matter how high quality the seats are leather will show signs of wear after about 30-40K of mileage.

I think the only way for seats not to show wear is to use a different material. Maybe

alcantara sport seats will last longer before they show wear? If so then the high end cars like the GT3 and 458 Speciale would be cool because the seats would last longer. And carbon fiber panels don't scratch like leather does. Plus those cars would just be good to drive in general :)

Thanks, they came on the car when we bought it. Surprisingly, they fit really well.

Terrible grill is gone.

+10 points in my book, for LSB. is this your first M3?

Thanks! Actually, it's our second. Our first was an AW E90 M3. Knowing my wife was going back to school (she started in January), we had to cut down on costs a little and sold it last June and got the E46 recently. I had a 97 328is as a beater between the two.

Thanks! We wouldn't have bought it if it was any other color!
