Been out of the community for a while, but thought I'd check in on the M3Forum just to find it was gone.
On a whim, did a Google for some E46 info and saw this place - once I saw Obioban was here, I figured this was the place that came after M3Forum died, so I figured I'd join up.
Really glad to see another place is up - especially since I hope to be getting some work done on my M3 and getting her back to a better place.
I got a job with the Forest Service back in June and moved to Wyoming from Ohio. Being that I figured my Jeep Wrangler would be a better fit out here, I left my M3 with my folks when I moved here.
Tomorrow I'm going to call up a shop back home and have my dad take it over to get a thorough going over to see what all I need to do to get her back in shape - and I have a feeling I'm not going to like the price at all. Especially if it's going to get it back up to snuff to take a 1500mi drive over a couple days.
If you folks remember on the old forums, I'm the guy who had the massive mold problem in his car. Thanks to a generous member on the M3Forum, I was able to get things back to normal for a very good price. Regardless, some day I'm going to try to convert the interior of my car to a black/cinnamon from the dove grey it currently has.
I'm looking to find some housing by summer in 2021, and the closest place to where I am that has decent options is about 40min drive away on the interstate (48mi, but the speed limit here is 80). This would be a lot better drive in the M3 than my Jeep (especially in fuel costs). Only real issue is that the interstate that connects the town is absolutely atrocious in the winter (I think they shut it down over 300 times last year I'm told), but thanks to COVID, we're doing a lot of teleworking anyway.
I've honestly considered selling it. Less on my insurance payment, one less registered vehicle, no more money to maintain it, etc. But this car is super special to me. I know I'd hate myself if I sold it. It's an incredible vehicle and now that I've finally landed a career, I can afford to take better care of it. Treat it the way it should have been treated.
I've also looked online - Mystic Blue Metallic in a 6MT Coupe is really hard to find. I don't think I've come across another.
