Last mod? I'm trying my darndest....

But the guys at TEKNO (who run a local racing team) are now tempting me with some HRE rims.

They look really stunning in matte black.

This thread makes me miss my F80 M3 a bit...but not too much. I think I miss my e92 M3 more.

Almost a year and a half now with my GT350.....have not looked back.

OP,

I maybe should have mentioned some of the BMWs I have had over the years.

A couple of the M-3's and 3 M-5's.

An older 320 with aftermarket turbo that was a fun machine.

Luv everything you have done so far to your New Machine.

I'm thinking we might be seeing some new wheels soon.

I don't really like the look of the Camaros and I've sat in a couple of them and trying to see out is like wearing blinders. I'd rather have a 911 or Cayman or any Porsche really.
The Beemers do look good.
I rather have a Mustang GT with a Procharger and 800+ HP.
