    Another E46 M3

    Backstory
    When I was around 15 my sister bought an Alpine White e46 M3. At this point I had no interest in cars but I thought BMW's were cool. She gave me a ride in it and I was instantly intrigued. She then to my surprise, let me drive it for the day. Fast forward, a week later I was in love with the car and wanted it. Coincidentally, that was also the week I got a job at a euro car shop in hopes to make money to buy one. By time summer came, I was 16 and I jokingly asked to borrow the car for the summer. She said yeah, all I had to do was pay the insurance. So after this I was determined to own an e46 m3 but mine was going to be manual instead of the dreaded smg. Fast forward to now, I am 22 and finally bought a car I probably wont ever sell (in theory).. I live in Oregon and if you live here, you know there's not many clean e46 m3s for sale. So i figured Id have to go to California. I bought this car off of a member of the old now shutdown M3 forum. I think the guys name was "Dr. Evil. This was at the beginning of the Covid thing back in late February.

ID:	59857 Thanks guys I appreciate it! I did some small stuff tonight such as re-glue the velcro patches on my floormats because they keep falling off and moving. I have also set up my garage a little bit more because I just moved in (7 months ago lol). I also installed longer studs, in hopes of getting my fitment in the front a little bit nicer.
