Holy Crap!

My buddy emailed this photo, taken while he was driving his new M3 on the famous Nurburgring.

What really made me jealous was not the fact that he took European delivery of his M3 and drove it all over Germany, Switzerland and Italy for a month. It was the fact that he then had his M3 shipped to his dealer in Honolulu, Hawaii where he lives and works!

Some guys have it hard in life, no?

OK, where'd he find the 3rd hand to allow taking the picture at that speed? Or was he driving with his knees?

WOW! I have an M3 in stock right now, I think I will see how fast the CHP will allow me to go before I go straight to jail.

those m3s are quick a few years ago i raced one in my boxster and the M3 was fast so i bought one (1995 ). Now though i want a new one (2003 or newer ) so i can have a porsche boxster and a bmw M3 cab on my drive. The BHP on the M3 2004 is stunning!

Its funny, I had an M3, chipped and heavily breathed on, lightning fast, but when I raced a stock Boxster at Sebring I saw the light and traded "up". The M3 is in my opinion one of the finest cars made. For the money, it is unbeatable, but I still think the Boxster has the handling edge and if mid corner poise is what floats your boat, then you will be happy to forsake all those ponies under the M3 hood.

By the way, I can attest to the stability of an M3 at 170mph. No hands are needed on the wheel to take a quick photo. Not to be recommended for very long
