How did u know? BMW M3. I just sold my Maxima to a crazed die hard Maxima fan this past weekend. I just paid off the loan today and now I'm going through with getting a new loan on the M3. The guy owned the M3 for a year and traded it back in to get a M5. Only 3k on it. I had to do it and I know I'm crazy but... I guess I like my toys :(

Is Harmon/Kardon a specialized stereo system???? I'm not up on systems so. I heard Infinity is really good.

I had a Bose 6-disc changer in my Maxima and it sounded pretty sweet. I think its tough to rip off the Harmon/Kardon or Bose system since the thing takes up the whole dash. It would be difficult and how would they re-sell the thing?

Now you guys are getting me paranoid. At least it has Lo-Jack and an alarm system. :rolleyes:

BMW only uses top quality parts, Harmon Kardon(sp) is pretty much top quality as far as manufacturer systems go.

Does the M3 have SMG?

Yup it has the slick 6-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox. It automatically double-declutches when downshifting. And when stuck in traffic just switch the gearbox to "A". Another luxury with this car it has something called "park distance control". Kind of useless as whoever owned this car before already scratched one of the aluminum rims by parking too close to the curb I bet. Ouch but the dealer took a bit off for that. It also has automatic wipers - when it senses water the things turn on.

I'm very curious to see how the Harmon/Kardon CD-DVD-Navigation system works. Its kind of a pain because the 6-disc changer is in the trunk. The Maxima all you had to do was keep feeding the player CDs.

Its a coupe. Titanium Silver Metallic. 333hp. And I highly doubt I'll be able to drive this thing in snow storms. Oh well. I'm dumb and crazy....

BMW's are nice cars. BMW's motto is "The Ultimate Diving Machine" and that couldn't be truer.

Yeah it might be but when I got the insurance quote an hour ago I almost wanted to take my 1911 and shoot myself in the foot. Dear lord.

I have to thank my grand mother (RIP) for this purchase. Oh well, I kinda have this cognitive dissonance goin' on but... you only live once.

right...??????
