Overdue intro

ricardofors68 · 12-11-2017, 01:20 PM

Greetings bimmerheads:

I realized that I haven't introduced myself or my noble steed; I'm Ricardo retired squid growing roots in Norfolk, Va the car is a 2008 E92 in Interlagos blue. Still learning its querks, but a great M car. Doing maintenance and modifying as I replace things thanks to a very healthy and decent marketplace. Look forward to meet some of you either on the track or elsewhere. In the meantime, need to resize picz so that they upload.
If anyone needs anything from this corner I can help, or at least try.

Congrats! IB is a beautiful color on our cars.

Obviously not in the same class but curious nonetheless - how does the M3 compare to the C7 grandsport?

GS is amazing, got the auto cus the wife said so. More economical than the M3, comfortable competition seats, good cockpit layout, and the performance, it can make any rookie off the street into a track hero. But I drive the M car more, easier to get in and out and driving the manual is more engaging, the GS is more like flying a military jet, it does everything for you.

Chevelle is auto. Just a slow cruiser with the stock 350/350 combo. Only real mod is the pro street suspension with coilovers.

Yea I kind of figured she was auto. I have had several and only one was a manual. Beautiful car, good to see you keeping here alive and well.
