    Wow, that sounds good. I got butterflies in my stomach when you revved it out.

      Awesome read. Thanks for sharing, sounds like you had a hell of a time searching on top of everything else going on. I hope the wife is doing good and that's really cool that she can drive it. Im sure that really helps justify it and it "sounds" like it made her happy too. A friend of mine bought a Supra last year and went for an auto because he wanted his father to be able to enjoy the car with him as well. Congrats man, I will look forward to seeing it in person this summer..... sometime after this winter curse you brought upon us goes away. :)

          Thanks for all of the positive comments guys!  My wife is doing alright.  It was a very long process to diagnose her with a lot of trying times.  A lot of time spent in hospitals, a lot of needles and a lot of waiting.  A few doctors at the beginning couldn't even figure out what was wrong with her and at one point it was a 2 1/2 month wait to see a neurologist.  One test would come back negative and another would come back positive and then another would be inconclusive so our emotions have been put through their paces for the last 9 months or so.  She's been tough through the whole process.  Now that we have a positive diagnosis from a 2nd opinion we can start to figure out how to proceed with treatment.  Currently she doesn't really experience any symptoms but that could change over time so any of the medication is to lessen the chance for a flare up in the future but they all of have side affects and consequences.  The biggest thing is that we want to have another kid but if she starts taking medicine now it's about a 9 - 12 month lead time for the medication to take affect then there has to be a period of time where she is off the medicine before she can get pregnant.  Certainly not something we've planned for but there's nothing we can do about it either.

          Now for some better news!  I started ordering parts for the car last Friday.  Through my wholesale account with ECS I got some great deals on BMW performance blackout grille's, painted reflectors and LED angel eyes.  Next up will be a gloss black GTS front lip, some coding and eventually the GTS DCT flash.  Anyone have experience with Carly?  Pros and Cons?

          After getting the exhaust video I also headed out to a spot to take some pictures.  They're only Gopro quality photo's right now because my lap top is dead so I can't get my pictures off of my Nikon at the moment.

            Thats a great pic off the GoPro! I was gifted a knockoff of a knockoff GoPro and the quality lacks severely. This picture gets me excited

              New parts are always exciting. The Carly app is cool, a lot of features.

                I saw one of these yesterday. I need one. That engine plus chassis/body in an incredible combination. 

                Aiming for 2-3 years from now.

                Congrats on the pick up again.

                  I also had an experience with one of these. There was one parked out-front of a business when myself and a few friends were hanging out last weekend. We eventually found the owner of it inside. So we started talking to him about it and he offered us a ride. Keep in mind I had just met this guy dont know his name or anything. So we thought to ourselfs 4kids VS 1 Stranger and we took him up on his offer. It was black with the auto trans. Long story he did a bunch of pulls and drifted around the city of EC. His car alarm went off shortly after so we found him again and told him. He ended up giving spider some jumper cables out of his appreciation. It was one hell of a time. Love that car.

                    I think my favorite part about this, is how excited you are to be able to share the car with your wife! That’s so awesome.

                    Wish Rolls was like that [emoji102]

                    I really need a ride in this thing when we get the chance. Every time I brought the idea of purchasing one of these to Mitch I was always immediately talked out of it lol. Sounds so good!!

                            My lifes been a little nuts lately between work and trying to find a new house while getting ours ready to sell but i've had time to drive the car and fall even more in love with it!  Being able to drive with the windows open makes the driving experience so much better.  I have never owned a car that gets so much attention from random people.  I have had to explain to my wife that an M3 isn't really something seen every day, especially in our area.  I did have a chance to order a few minor mods and install two!  I have a set of led angel eyes just waiting for me to install them.  Without further ado here is the most boring upadate ever.  I installed the BMW Performance black grille and painted side markers.  Done.20180510201243.jpg

                              Might be boring but at the end of the day it makes the car look SO much better.

                                Another boring update!  I swapped in my Ziza led angel eyes on Sunday in between mothers day events.  I love them!  This singular upgrade freshens up the e90 front end and makes it look current.  Now I just need to code out my corners and i'm good!

                                        Looking good, your first two mods are the same first two things I did to mine! Good taste! I didn’t even make it back from my 30 hour trip and I had to make a quick stop at work to throw my grilles in, in the middle of a snow storm 😬

                                          Next up is a thorough cleaning!  I haven't had anytime to really clean it and my wheels are getting filthy!  But as far as purchased stuff goes I think a lip is up next but I'm torn between a lip and a set of springs.  I just can't get away from the low life!  I started a wish list on ECS and it has 8 items that total a little over $3300... Some of that stuff is more for reference like the front lip and rear diffuser.  Those alone are $1400 but i'm not stupid enough to spend that money.  I'll go ebay or some knock off for that stuff.

                                          Thanks!  Great minds think alike!
