Well, the M3 went back to the dealer at lease end, but I needed a replacement. After much research I picked up a nice low mileage R32 from SoCal. Its a real blast to drive; first time I've had an AWD car. Should be nice in an autocross; 6 speed, 240hp, DOHC 6cyl 3.2 engine, 0-60 5.9secs, approx. 3,400lbs. Outstanding braking! Many add a beefier (22 vice 16mm) rear sway bar. Planning on getting rid of the chrome wheels; will go for the stock OZ "Aristos" or some lighter wheels. The Aristos look the same but are not chromed. Decent write up on the car in January Motor Trend. Only negative is that I will be forced to spend more time on the Vortex R32 BBS!
