Default BMW M3 update

well I just got the car back. They flew someone down from bmw of northamerica. The problems that I had been having with the car were to do the inpropper install on my rearend and trans the last time it was in the shop. The person who worked on the car was fired and it is like brand new. So I guess I would say Im happy. They also gave me loaner untill the problems with my car were fixed.

I'd wager the Z4 is the gayest car on the road right now.. Or damned close to it.. No straight man can drive those things, kinda like a VW new beetle...

But an M3? yeah, I could drive one of those -- after I put an LS1 in it

I had to take my bmw in one day and they gave me a z4 3.0 loaner car. I felt so clostraphobic in that thing, I had to put the top down to feel a little more comfortable. Then I felt like all the guys were staring at me, so I had to put the top back up b/c I felt like a ***.

Now, M3's are a different story. badass. I would love to purchase one in a few years (or maybe even the m5 if I can talk my wife into it)

There will be an M roadster version of the Z4. Not entirely sure if it will be called the M4 but it probably will.
