GTI & M3

Just washed my cars so I thought I might as well take some pics while they're clean

I was actually pretty impressived with the build quality of the interior since cars in that same price range usually have pretty crappy interiors. That being said, while the M3's interior may be a little boring the quality is second to non

The M3 and the GTI are the only two cars that share pretty much the same origin, concept and history impact to the same degree, IMO...

And they drive and perform much better than the regular Rabbit/Golf and 3-Series as well.

I also got a GTI (sold) while having an M3 (E46 and E90)... getting another GTI next year:

You referring to how it was built in order to qualify it for motorsports? Be sure to post some pics when you do get the new GTI it looks great
