Ding Dong the coupe is dead

[Philip]

My car got hit tonight on the way home from work.
I'm pretty sure it's totalled. I'll keep you guys posted.










...Did somebody say "M3"??

[SOUTHERNBIMMER]

Damn! Sorry Phillip I hope it all works out in your favor!

[mistertripps]

At least you are okay, right? Sorry 'bout the car man.

[Philip]

Guys guys, please don't be sorry. I was having trouble getting rid of that god-forsaken thing and now my problem is solved. You should all be happy for me. I'm finally getting my M3. Now I just need to find one.
P.S. I'm completely ok, I should have mentioned that.

[Catmint]

Does this mean you'll be changing your signature, or is that a different car?

Anyway, sorry and/or congrats! Mostly I'm glad you're okay. :)

Thanks for the kind words man,

That is indeed the car in my sig. I'll be changing it as soon as I find an M3. I just wish I had a friend who knew a ton of BMW people who might be able to help me find a good M3... *cough* *cough* mitch *cough*!!!

[4ngie]

Wow, glad you're ok at least.

So.. E30/E36/E46?? I had someone send me a PM a few days ago about an E36 M3 for sale.

[Philip]

My budget: $10,000

My top choice: 2004 Ferrari 575 GTC
#2: E30 M3
#3: E36 M3

It's looking like #3 is most likely.

I rember when i got into a wreck and it ended up working out for me b/c i got rid of my p.o.s gmc jimmy and got the 6.

I would go for you first choice:).

[Mitch]

Just glad you are ok. FOr $10k you can get a sweeeeet E36 M3. That is your target car, so stay on target, don't settle for nuttin. You can buy a VERY nice car for that kinda money. I will help you find a good car. I would start with asking 4ngie about that one she knows about. Usually the good ones are found via word of mouth. Keep us posted! :)

Couldnt have said it better myself.

[Justin]

Wow man i am glad you are ok, Good luck on the M3 hunting i will keep my eyes open!:eek:

[MachSchnell]

Like everyone said, cars can be replaced while you cannot. Glad you are OK, happy hunting!!

[Philip]

Thanks guys. I realyl appreciate the help and support.

[Jdudley13]

Well I was gonna say sorry but umm..congrats? i guess...Time for a new toy...

[Lsixer]

A nice e36 for about $10k? Really? Hell, I may buy one then. :)

[Mitch]

SURE!! You can even run across some really nice, well maintained M3s with medium miles for $10k. Miles don't bother me as long as the oil was changed and maintenance was done correctly.

[4ngie]

I just looked back through my old PM's. That m3 is an 04. Sorry. :(

[Philip]

I definitely want <100k miles.

[atl530i]

Bummer about your Bimmer... Glad to see you are alright. Gl with the search.

[88e28]

Sorry for the mishap.. Are you selling any mods from the car?

[Mitch]

What is the latest on the car Phil?

[Philip]

Allstate is going to have an adjuster look at my car on moday. After determining if the car is a total loss they will make me an offer on a settlement for the car and my pain/suffering. (I have to go to the chiropractor- my lower back is F'ed)
At that point I will belly laugh at their offer and make them a counter-offer that is 350% of their low-ball offer. I'll keep you posted from there.

On a lighter note, I may have found an M3 in Sandy Springs. 1997, 90k miles, original owner, all records kept, 5MT. I'll take some pics for you guys when I go check it out.

[Philip]

I have my Dinan chip for sale. Besides that, there really isn't anything worth selling.

[88e28]

Not fun with a bad back I know. Thanks I already have a Dinan chip.

[Philip]

If you want anything else off of the car let me know today, because it's going soon.

[88e28]

Do you have a stress bar for a 1995 325i with ASC?

[Philip]

No ASC.

[Justin]

What color M is it?

[Philip]

Cosmos I think

[Justin]

Haha we will have two cosmos M3's If you get it! Then Mitch has all black cars so that would make a sick photo shot!

[Philip]

Most def! Black is my first choice with any car.
If I can find a black one that I can affors I'm jumping on it. I'll post more info about this one later after I get a chance to see it. You guys usually point stuff out to me that I didn't even think of. 200 heads is better than one. :D

[SOUTHERNBIMMER]

Looks like a winner!

[Catmint]

Yeah, i thought it was odd that the ad made a big deal right at the beginning about the "BMW original 6-cd changer", then later the fine print says "Radio does not work". What the ?!

[88e28]

Catmint you going to the Frogtown Winery?

I just finished discussing it with Tripps. I think yes, we'll be going. We will probably be bringing Lil' Bimmer if that's alright with everyone (don't worry, he doesn't drink too much wine). Not sure which car we'll take yet, but I guess we've got a whole week to think about it.

Yay! Wine! (crap! diet!)

Yea I forgot he asked me about it. My girl will be there.

[Catmint]

How old is she? Lil' Bimmer is just over 3.

[Philip]

Enterprise rent-a-car serisouly effed up.
Look what they gave me...

Edit: I can't post the pic, but it's a black Dodge Charger.
RWD. That's all that matters. Pray for rain tonight guys.

[Justin]

Lol thats funny if it rains call me lol i will video it!!!! V6 or V8

[Jdudley13]

Please let me know if it does....One of my buddy's got a lancer in college as a rental. They took the air box off and rigged a filter on the end. It was hilarious.

[Philip]

Holy crap!
WORST vehicle I've ever driven, hands down, no competition. I'm giving this thing back on my lunch break and getting the Mazda3 back. I hate this giant underpowered 7000lb cop car wannabe.

[Jdudley13]

SHould have known you would get the V6 as a rental...Lame...love the avatar by the way...haha

[Philip]

You could hide a f*cking cruise ship in the blind spot on this car. It's a small miracle that I haven't wrecked it yet.

Yuck. Tim had one of its cousins, the Sebring, last week while his Seven was in the shop. It was cool to drive on I-20 because I hit 90 before I even knew it, but it was the ugliest thing I've seen in awhile. Big and bulky and yes the blindspots. And the hood had these odd grooves running down the length of it. I guess it was supposed to look "cool" or "mean" but it just looked out of place. Chrysler used to have some decent cars, now the only one I would consider would be the Crossfire but even that would take a back seat (heh-heh :) ) to the Solstice or even the Saturn Sky. Or, of course, a Bimmer Z.
