    I'm back......

    Been around for awhile but just recently disappeared off the forums for almost exactly one year....Lot's of big things went on like buying a house, getting engaged, new job, "new" cars....



    I sold my beloved E46 M3 because I started a new job that made me put 65 miles on it everyday and I couldn't justify that at the time because of all of the things going on outside of cars (I didn't know there was one until a few months ago..). I ended up buying a Toyota FZJ80 that had lockers in the front, center, and rear...in other words an unstoppable tank...



    Pics of the 80:



    Before the tires and sliders:





    After:





    I had it for just over one year and while it was a super cool truck and could do anything in any weather but I still had the BMW itch probably from my other past cars....



    First 328is:





    The next car: 95 M3



    Sorry for the really crappy picture....





    The next M3:

    99 Cosmos with a ton done to it. One of my favorite for sure...







    Then the favorite of the whole bunch:









    Now for the new one!



    1995 M3 Alpine white over black with 133k on the clock. It is in fantastic shape. It needs a few things for my taste obviously but that will all come in time! Excuse the crap pics and all the crap wrong with it. These were taken 5min after I pulled in my driveway from getting it. I will get more ASAP. This will remain stock(ish), more like OEM+ with some nice rare parts here and there. Of course it's a 5spd...

      Mm that e46... I need one eventually. Good find and glad your back! I love the Toyota also! You can't beat old Toyota trucks, I just hate that they hold such a high value

          Yeah I am really loving it so far. Never had a white car so the color is still growing on me. I always kind of thought they looked plain but AW is a little different.

            Yeah when I started the search I was dead set on a 4spd FJ60 but then I was :jaw drop: when I saw how expensive they were still....



            The 80's are DIRT cheap unless you want one with OE lockers.

              Yeah we are loving being back home in Nashville after moving back from Reno/Tahoe. Found the house in a great area near downtown so it was a win win! Unfortunately it cut pretty deep into my mod money.... lol

                I experienced the same when I got mine. I wasn't in the market for a white car really. Then found a mint M3, which happened to be white. Visited the car to check it out. Loved it.

                Now I'm very happy with it and wouldn't want any other.
