You really gotta toe the line with an M3, it's a great car and yet it's so easy to make one douche-y. The people who have come before have mostly ruined their reputation with black rims on blue cars, time attack wheels, black grilles, fake CSL trunks, useless carbon lip spoilers and flaps, red angel eyes, carbon fiber or red roundels, the list goes on and on. It's pretty sad.
Phaeton is pretty doable within your budget. used, of course, because i don't believe they sell it new no mo
might as well get that one...a marvel of German overengineering
They were sold in the U.S. for only a few years, but I read that they are coming back in 2014. I drove the Phaeton W12 when it came here in 2004, IIRC, and it blew my socks off.
For what it's worth, most M3's I see in New York are are absolutely stock, save for the occasional lowering, which I think is fair enough, and once in awhile rims, which can also be reasonable.
I'm not going to count tints, cause everyone here has them. So yeah, I don't think the M3 scene that Drew is talking about is the same the world over, maybe in small pockets.
ima put bbs rims on my m3 and see what you guys think you can tell me if I'm douching it up
I am driven in a W12 VW Phaeton limo. Ok, not really, but I'm looking for a new set of wheels. My thoughts change from day to day. Here's today's list:
Porsche Cayenne
Jeep Wrangler Sahara (4 door hardtop)
Cadillac CTS sports sedan
Alfa Romeo (whatever large sedan might come to our shores in the future) (not gonna happen, I know)
Audi A8 - would need to buy used
Lexus GS - the new sedan for $46k +/-
I have to act like a professional, so the snoot factor has to factor in a bit.
NYC isn't really a car place man, so that doesn't count. From what I gather on the internets though, there's tons of badly modified cars in the NY area for sure, they definitely apply to the shittily modified BMW camp out there.
You should be safe, but stay away from the red centercaps. I hate those with the passion of the christ.
Pretty mixed list, I'd get the A8, I think you'd stay happy with it for awhile. Get a 2008+ one. Maybe get a separate 'fun' car so that you don't expect the A8 to do everything.
A8 with maybe a used Boxster S (can be found for relatively little $) for weekend fun sounds like a good combo.
