What car did you have before your BMW?

Endless619 · 01-05-2012, 03:46 AM

Before my E92 M3? I have had close to a dozen cars but moved over from an E86 M coupe. I wouldn't say its a huge upgrade by any means. Two different cars for two different purposes. Nice step sideways in reality.

High School - 1990 Acura Integra LS
College - 1994 Honda Del Sol Vtec
DHS- 2001 Honda S2000, 1992 Acura NSX, 2002 Acura NSX, 2003 Nissan 350z, 2006 Porsche Cayman S, 2002 BMW E46 M3, 2008 E86 M, 2009 E92 M3, 2009 E70 X5 iDrive

2005 S2000. Had a Vortech v2 supercharger on it along with some other goodies (in sig). Got rid of it for the 2008 BMW 135i Sedona Red. Will have it in my possession Wednesday night. Just needed a more practical car. I am going to do an introduction thread when I have the BMW to properly introduce myself.

1993 Honda Del Sol w Super Charged Type-R and about 3K invested.

( Still want one again some day, great set-up with PIC suspension, triple gauge pod, 3" intake, etc... )

BUT... I get my 335xi in a week! It's a completely different drive... I think I'll have no trouble getting used to it though!
