No prob. I think they're the premium wheels. I honestly forget. It definitely transformed the car. I've never been a fan of Kias, but this one is looking pretty sharp.

Finally picked up an E46 M3. I've been looking for a white 6MT for quite awhile now. The rims are not my style but it's a compromise for the condition it's in. It's practically brand new! Im talking FLAWLESS, like it just rolled off the factory floor.

The E46 M3 was my dream car back in the day and while I've already had 2 F80 M3's the E46 has a special place in my heart and now I can bathe in nostalgia. Pic to come!

As promised here's a pic of my new to me E46 M3. I can't believe it, I'm literally shaking with excitement. 2021 is going to be a great year!

It's a keyboard from logickeyboard. They make covers but this is a full keyboard with the key caps replaced with color coded keys.

New Karas custom pen came in today. Got the solid brass fountain pen for Christmas from the SO and then bought the solid copper ballpoint as someone stole my previous pen I was carrying.

Do you miss the power of the F82 or does the fun of the E46 make up for it? I've been tracking my F80 and I like the power, but want something a little more nimble and analog.

Oh I still have both, its a sickness but I wanted to keep the f82 for street fun and the e46m for the track fun. Much less to worry about balling up an e46 should that happen which is the risk.

I have a full bolt on and am adding e85 soon which has been proven to have just shy of 400 crank so the only thing I am lacking is torque. That said, I have reduced a lot of weight. To give fair comparison, I am constantly trading times with SS Camaro, Coyote mustangs, e92m3 and some of the newer caymans etc. So, in short, the performance and or fun factor isn't lacking at all. I find it a bit more manageable thus more fun for me

I figured! Keeping my M3 CS as well, I was talking about primarily on the track driving experience. I've been tracking my M3 CS for 2 years now. I love the power delivery, I just wish it were lighter and more analog of that makes sense. Not trying to break track records and I've been considering a 981 or an E46 M3 as my track toy. I think either car will be more fun, just wondering what your take on it is. Anything you miss about the F8X on the track? How was your pace affected before you lightened the car and started modifying?

Ah yes fair question(s) sorry I missed it.

The power delivery is linear and analog, almost better than most I have driven. I believe a good tune and being an NA engine with ITB's and an 8000+ RPM engine redline assists with this. I prefer this on track versus the turbo situation as it just simply eliminates one more variable or component for throttle modulation.

I have gotten quicker but I have a hard time saying its all due to the mods. I started with a mostly stock car on coils and a section 3. I believe both seat time and mods have improved. My most frequented track I started with an abysmal 2:09 times whereas now I am closer to 2:04's to occasional 2:03's.
