I love the M3! Love the color too! Never seen a forest green M3, and I bought it from an older woman who used the car to commute, than kept it garaged... I bought it in Seattle than moved to San Jose, CA and drove it with me... That drive down from Seattle to Cali was a BLAST!

Thanks for the replies.

I built a autocross/track honda prelude... had it stolen.
Then I built a beast of a civic hatchback (non street legal) while I owned an Audi A4. The A4 was getting the wheels powered coated so I drove the civic one night and it got stolen... So I was done with honda, then someone totalled my Audi - which I hated to begin with - too heavy and the cat-converter. went bad - twice!

I'm sticking with BMW! It's getting the oil and spark plugs changed right now...

Well, the Dinan ECM was well worth it IMHO. However, it was like $500 for them just to reprograme the chipset. I get a higher redline - which I never hit - and a more aggressive fuel/air mapping. I will see if I can find the link with dyno charts - not mine, but stock vs. dinan ECM.
