It was a Z655, they're pretty rare, especially on track.

if that car was 25% away from its top speed, driven by someone who knows what they're doing then the gearing (for that track) is silly. shit, you may as well remove 5th and 6th gear and save some weight. seems like a lot of the power is wasted if with that current gearing he's traction AND gearing limited

bump, saw this car again today.

it is covered in stamens

4/20/2012 1:51:30 PM

I got $5 on it.

4/21/2012 10:29:01 PM

4 months in and no one has it. Cool you guys keep making the garage cooler by the day.

4/22/2012 12:05:36 AM

i mean it's not technically for sale.. it should be, but my brother's kinda a douche so whatever.

you should get a key cut and hand out copies for joy rides since he's such a douche

4/22/2012 9:29:32 PM

if it would start and could drive around a little I would tell him to send me the keys so I could show people.. but it doesn't start. so all it would do is unlock the door.

4/22/2012 10:53:22 PM

^does it not start because the battery is dead?

4/22/2012 11:04:25 PM

that's what he said, i have no idea if he's right or not. i mean it made it home after the wreck so i would guess a battery would do it.

4/22/2012 11:09:30 PM

I have a jump box that will crank it if it's just a dead battery.

4/23/2012 8:44:54 AM

i think we all have a car with jumper cables that would jump it if it's just a dead battery.

4/23/2012 9:05:12 AM

Guys, the tires don't matter as long as it can reach 88 mph on them.

4/23/2012 10:18:22 AM

^lol

^^lol

4/23/2012 10:44:58 AM

^^nah, this thing won't be able to reach 88 mph. You need a Delorean for that.

4/23/2012 11:52:18 PM

88 mph don't mean shit with out a flux capacitor

just let this thread die because its not gonna take off.

5/1/2012 12:39:16 AM

BJCaudill21, you might want to let your brother know the city is getting ready to tow away his M3. There was a bright orange sticker on the window this morning. (and honestly, after a year, WTF does he expect to happen?)

It's days on this street are numbered.

5/21/2012 8:17:08 AM

You have one week from when you get the $20 ticket. TKE do you know how long the ticket has been there? Care to check the date?

I don't know how much they charge for the tow (probably $100-$125), but I'd imagine the daily storage fee at the impound lot is ridiculous. If he's let it sit there for a year I doubt he's going to take any swift action at this point. City of Raleigh is about to get an M3.

5/21/2012 9:27:00 AM

^I drive past the car daily on my way to work. The sticker wasn't there on Friday but it was this morning.

"City of Raleigh is about to get an M3."

Yeah that's what I think as well. Then a TWWer can buy it at auction right?

5/21/2012 10:05:38 AM

I will increase my bid to $6.50 to prevent the travesty of impoundment


however I am currently out of the country so I would need some trustworthy TWW citizen to arrange the safe storage of my newly-purchased M3


I will send this TWWer person a Cashiers cheque for the princely sum of $15, of which they will be entitled to keep all excess fees not associated with the purchase and sale of this Bavarian Motorworks M three vehicular conveyance.

5/21/2012 3:08:59 PM

You wrong large. Nobody wants problems and to outlay the nerves... Send complete payment or I COMPLAIN ON YOU.

Do not bang me brains.

THANKS, DIAMOND

5/21/2012 4:29:49 PM

Looked at the sticker. It was tagged on 5/19 at 11am. It will be towed in 7 days from that date, so I guess this Saturday.

I already considered the owner of this vehicle a real idiot but now I feel the need to upgrade him to complete moron status.

5/21/2012 6:56:54 PM

5/21/2012 8:20:25 PM

$7

5/21/2012 8:23:21 PM

I will come pick it up for free and store it at my lot for a low monthly rate, if he is interested...

5/21/2012 8:52:54 PM

$7k cash tomorrow.

5/21/2012 10:40:53 PM

that's gonna work.

5/21/2012 10:45:04 PM

^^given what we know about this BMW's owner I would say actually think that's an offer he should take. I mean, he's already been lazy and neglectful enough to leave an M3 on the side of a road for a year. Makes you wonder how long he'll leave it over at the impound lot. I can easily see him letting the impound lot fees add up into the thousands.

5/21/2012 11:35:52 PM

Nah...I'd still give him more than that if he wants it gone this week.

Or if he wanted to overnight a key to his brother, let me tow it a few miles to my house, and deal with the paperwork when it's more convenient.

5/22/2012 12:05:11 AM

^^ Which is why I said I can store it here. His other option would be to set up something at a self storage facility and have a tow company haul it over there before the city picks it up...

5/22/2012 7:55:52 AM

^Oh I had no doubt you were serious, lol.

5/22/2012 8:12:42 AM

7500 cash today

5/22/2012 8:34:13 AM

I'll just tow it to my house this weekend and use it as a part car. Since my car is the same color, it'll make a great part car. Watch out for my part-out thread in a few months.

5/22/2012 10:30:46 AM

$8 take it or leave it, my final offer

5/22/2012 6:28:17 PM

$8200

5/22/2012 8:28:03 PM

It should be gone. Thanks for the heads up, he knew already but it might have been because of this thread..

5/25/2012 1:02:22 PM

it would have been perfect for an e-30 swaparooo

5/25/2012 1:11:19 PM

Or just
Keep the engine in a more capable chassis

5/25/2012 1:51:49 PM

still there as of 15 minutes ago

5/25/2012 2:03:35 PM

lol i just like the tossable lil shit that weighs 800lbs less.

LoL. if it gets towed tomorrow I will document with photos

5/25/2012 2:09:19 PM

OMG yes, there's things to fault about the e46 but my jeebus it's SO capable.

5/25/2012 5:58:15 PM

Car was still there at 1am last night when I took a taxi home. Was gone this morning at 11am. Whether the owner or the city had the car towed I do not know.
