i had a e 36 m3 with all the na mods.. it was a fantastic car. You will never hear a better sounding engine than a NA straight six. The beautiful torque curve and the balance are amazing.. but sadly it couldnt compare to my evo. Even with A032r's H&R coilovers and various other mods, the limits were just much lower. BUt what great cars they are.

Did the same thing. Had a e36 m3 and just bought a "05 silver evo with the SSL. The evo isn't as refined and a bit more bumpy, but a lot quicker and feels really tight.

remember 1st thing you should do is...

Rev up to 4700 and drop the clutch...launch the heck out of the dealership and dont' forget to power drift your 1st turn out of the lot. Then find the high school football field nearest to you and test out your Bilsteins and compare and contrast to your M3's suspension.

I also want to know if you got it or not. Hell he probably did get it and is out driving it around right now instead of posting on here. I would be.

Ok, just got home after 3 hours at the dealer. Got $37.5k in trade which was awsome and paid $500 over invoice for the car with 46 miles on it. It was REAL hard not do go over 5k rpm's. The funny thing is my skeptical wife loves the car more than me. I have a feeling the Pacifica will be in the garage while the EVO is going to the grocery.
