Talk me off the ledge

[UdubBadger]

You know, I just HAAAD to read this thread late last night. When I read it, I had never driven an E46 M3, so I didn't comment. My car is completely different than the E46, so I can't really compare.

Then I went to this morning's CCA monthly metope... A total of 6 or 7 E46 M3s showed up... I a little, then I a little, and then I got to talking with one of the owners ('06 Interlagos/Black ZCP coupe, 6 spd) and he let me take it for a drive...

Holy crap, even owning an E90 ZCP M3, I still love the E46 ZCP M3... Now I'm shopping...

Pics and whatnot in the Daily pics thread...

It's true...

So I will keep what I have, learn from others, have fun getting to know and upgrading and maintaining my ZHP. Then in two years, perhaps the timing will be right for an M3. They'll still be out there. And I may be able to afford one with lower mileage.

My thoughts exactly; being a member of the Mafia makes ZHP ownership even better. Like you said I'd rather wait till the time is right and get my "perfect" M3 instead of settling now for a cheap high mileage example.

WOW! Best of luck. I look forward to reading your future M3 build thread:

Bruce knows that a customized ZHP is better than a stock M3. But if you're money bags like Charlie with customized CSL clone M3, well different story :-)

And don't feed Larry more ammo. He already has a revolving door of car ownership.......just like Bruce at one point . Hahahhah

Thanks for the advice. When I saw your first post I began reading through your project thread - I'm halfway through it - beautiful car and terrific updates. As I said in my post I think it makes best sense for me to stay with the ZHP and enjoy it for a few years. Then move on to an M3 in the future - like you and others have. It was sure fun test driving the M3 yesterday and getting a taste of what that car is all about.

Welcome and Thank you for the compliment!
