Also noticed you traded your older 335 for an 09. Was the older one sparkling graphite metallic? That was one of my favorites on the E92 but they unfortunately killed it off early in the model.

Miles - I think the night you told me about your rides - Anydong Bluff and some others too had shared what they 'too' drive - so pardon my forgetting - however; what is it you drive again, please?

So you like BMW's? My younger brother used to own one of those clownshoe M coupes, think it was 2001 or 2002 model, I wasn't that impressed at first being a V8 or GTFO kind of bloke but he gave me a drive and that 6 cylinder pulls like a teenager.

2012 M3. This isn't mine but looks about the same.

I had to youtube plastidip since I was not familiar with it. For my taste I'd just get the rims striped and restored to factory (which isnt cheap either) vs powdercoat them black.

About 10 years ago I ran across a 944 at a dealership that was in very poor shape. It would have cost a small fortune to repair and the interior had even begun to show signs of decay. If it was in good shape, I would have rolled off the lot with it. Those are very fun cars and I still see a few on the road every now and then.

Have you done any performance modifications to yours? I never looked into that, but I'd imagine if it has a turbo, there's some level of tweaking you can do.

Yeah..Lindsey Racing makes all kinds of kits. http://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Parts/944.html. You can get these up to 500 HP...which for a small, turbo-charged 4 cylinder is just nuts. Mine is about 275 hp..simple mods..still under 5.0 to 60 MPH and gets 28 mpg too...Porsche nailed this car. For street driving..I think anything faster..I would be in danger of killing myself. It's really about the handling though..they beat $140,000 GT3s on short courses. They are spooky in the twisties....my neighbor races M3s..said he hates my car because he cant catch them on the track.

I've decided i'm going just a high performance paint - powder coating is about $450 more - so instead of just south of $1,000 it'll be $400. I did remove that obnoxious spoiler though.

Jerez Black?

My 335 is Black Sapphire Mettalic - the new 135 is Silver Cashmere, which is really cool because it's in between silver and champagne.

I wasn't familiar with the Silver Cashmere color and looks good. Black metallic is my favorite but a big pain to keep maintained correctly. If you are anal about detailing you notice it picks up a ton of microscratches even when you are careful. Others do as well but you can't see them.

Good call on removing the spoiler.
