My Build:
New to this forum so I figured I'd post my build thread. Looking forward to being active on here as much as possible.
At first I was on the hunt for an E46 M3 and had the opportunity to test drive a few. Don't get my wrong I loved them. I was right about to close on an Alpine White M3 but I decided I'd give the E92 335i a chance before doing so. With all the research I was doing at the time, I kept stumbling upon people raving about the N54 engine. Plus I liked the idea of being able to get a newer car, with less miles, for around the same price.
Ended up grabbing an E92 335i from an e90 post forum member jdrdeer . For the sake of keeping this post as short as possible I'll just link that here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=791360
