This is my first BMW and I absolutely love it! Here's a little history:

My first bought car was a 2003 G35 sedan, Caribbean Blue with black interior, back in 2006. Went through several modding stages on it, learned a lot about cars and working on them because of this car. Did a ton of custom body work, coupe front end conversion, changed wheels every other month lol, 3 sets of brakes, etc. Also quickly learned that I should have gotten a manual

I had concave wheels back in 07/08!

Different look in 09/10 with a Rotora BBK, Work VS-XX wheels, different bumper and hood...

I sold it in 2011 after owning for 5 years and leased a 2011 G37 sedan 6MT, white on black. Realized that owning is not for me, I like leasing and having a set date to return my car. Also it keeps me away from doing crazy mods that are "irreversible", things that I did to my g35 such as widebody, custom coupe front-end, stripped whole interior and dynamatted it lol. I also like to move onto the next car and mod it to my new vision.

Got rid of all the chrome, dropped, custom paint work and vinyl, AG M550 wheels, custom one-off duckbill trunk, custom headlights and taillights, emblemless grille, bolt-ons, etc. Too many things to list, but the lease was coming up to an end and I wanted to completely change the look. Something wild that most people wouldn't do or know how to pull off... matte purple vinyl wrap with a new set of AG 20" M510s.

I have always dreamed about owning an M3 and when I heard they were no longer going to be V8, I had to pull the trigger and order mine...

Got it July 1st, 2013: Convertible, jet black with red extended leather, manual transmission, navi, premium sound, heated seats, 18" wheels, pretty much every option. I didn't want to pay extra for the 19" wheels since I will be changing them, and I would prefer to use the 18s as my winter setup.

Coming from Infiniti the difference is huge. The tranny is so much better, handling, feel, sound, everything. I mean the car costs twice as much as a G37 but you can feel it right away. It's not much faster since the convertible is heavy, but I love every minute of it!
