    Got myself a daily driver that doubles my prior DD MPG. I have to vacuum and clean it up tonight and get some shots tomorrow with my camera.

    It's a 1998 BMW M3, 5 speed, sunroof, dove gray vader leather interior, on-board computer, 2" H&R lowering kit, Bilstein shocks, upgraded drilled rotors, Dinan intake, reprogrammed ECU, aluminum radiator, high output alternator, e-code projectors, 4300K HID's, Supersprint Exhaust, etc.


    Last week, prior to my purchase:

    Thanks man, I am confused. A 528i is a 528i, not an M3? It's likely that it has what's called the M-Technic package. This provides M trim items such as steering wheel, wheels, moulding, front valance, and some other aesthetic M5 parts. Suspension as well.

    Now that you say that, I think your right. It has the steering wheel and rims and some other stuff that he showed me. He got it pretty cheap. He gets about 30mpg if he just drives, down to 20 when he hot rods. either way, its fun until the traction control kicks in and shuts the engine down.
