The 2 mm spacer is needed to clear the strut top with the stock shocks and Bilsteins shocks. Wow, I did not even know 2mm wheel spacers existed. 5mm is the thinnest I have heard. These most be pretty thin ;-) Regards, Rich

I wanted the pure adrenaline feeling of its performance, and the refining of a german car. If I wanted to get more sex, I would have gotten it convertible. However, a similar ad to the one below helped a friend of mine sell his '95 Coupe: BMW M3 for sale: For $XX,000 you'll get the following: 1/4 mile in 14 seconds 0-60 MPH in 5.7 seconds Chicks in your car in 3 seconds I just hope the new owner wasn't dissapointed with that last statement, lol!

I'm telling you, women in LA *know* what an M3 is. And you do get stares with an M3. I turn more heads with my M3 than with my sister's 996. Ditto with my girlfriend. Two years ago she didn't know what an M3 or an S4 was. No she spots them quicker than I do, and she can tell a fake one right away. You know what they say, if she truly loves you... And the only reason she bought an Audi All Road over the A6 was because of the S4 engine... Well, I had something to do with that ;) Damn, turbos are nice!

Luis writes..... <<<Not to offend Anne here, but very few females really appreciate M3's (either E36 or E46). A similar thing happened to me the other day, but to the opposite (diminishing the E36).>>> Fellow Listers, Most women to not appreciate automobiles like the men and women on this list. But (to be fair) most men and women on this list probably do not appreciate what many of there interests. This being said I really consider myself very lucky. My girlfriend knows all about the M3 right down to the red needles on the guages. In fact she can spot a real M farther away than I can. I am not saying that the girl you went out with was "dumb" as you say, but that there are definitlely women out there that know and realize the difference. It is just a matter of finding the right one. My girlfriend however still feels that a majority of my time is wasted on my car with performance upgrades and cleaning it once a week. This is much better than calling it a 318ti like in your case. I should point out that my girlfriend did not always enjoy and share my passion for fine autos it took a lot of time and explaining, I also had to go to a few "flower shows" to offset bmw weekends.

I have been waiting for my coupon since I bought the car almost two months ago. I was just about to call the dealer and ask them where my "sex coupon" was since I hadn't received it yet.
