Great story, excellent pictures and what looks like to be a fantastic trip home in one hell of a car! I got my M Roadster on a Monday evening and Tuesday morning at 4 am i was driving from CT to Key West. That was a a long trip, put about 3500 miles, but it was soo worth it.

Now for whats important... The cup holders ratchet? WTF!!! I had a Starbuck caramel macchiato spill cause it was loose. OH well..

Enjoy the ride, looks great in Blue!

Most photos are taken with a Nikon D90 with a 10-24mm Dx lens. The car has so many fascinating angles...

Hey Noel! I didn't know you were on this forum. I really miss the car. Out of all the cars I've ever owned, a 95 M3, 02 M3 SMG, Merc-Benz C32 AMG, the M Coupe was far and away my favorite - next to the 95 M3 (OBD I!).

I really wish I could have kept it but it felt like sacrilege every time I drove it in traffic on the terrible roads of 66 and 495 to and from work. I felt like I was destroying a perfectly good and rare M Coupe. For that reason it sat in the garage while the old 530 became the daily driver... but that felt even worse. At this point in my life, I need a car that can sit comfortably in traffic on my day to day commute and still be able to go to the track, autocross, and my Skyline Runs - A car that I can enjoy all the time, no mater the situation, that's the M3. If my job was still a few miles down the road (instead of the now 40 miles into DC) I would have kept it for sure.

I'm really glad the car went to a fellow enthusiast! Here's some of my suggestions; The GruppeM is unreasonably expensive so unless you happen to come buy a used one which is very rare, mine sold in less than 30 minutes at 1am on like a Tuesday, I'd just get a used or new AFe. The RPi scoop is a must if you get an Intake and you're ever planning on driving over 80MPH, such as at the track. It makes a very noticeable difference for accelerations between 80-100MPH and even more so for 100-120MPH. Beyond that, you already have all the other must-have mods I'm surprised no one has noticed the front reflector delete. As far as I know, there's only two cars in North America with that mod

You have to make another post after your first BMW CCA event! A driving school in this car is a must!
Thanks again.
