Default swift996: LSB E46 M3
So I looked around for a while before finding one I couldn't pass up. I really wanted a black interior but had to settle given the immaculate condition of the car.

2001 LSB BMW M3
6-Speed Manual
Matte Black Kidneys and Fender Grills
H&R Adjustable Sport Springs
19" CSL Wheels
AC Schnitzer Short Shift Kit
OEM Cross Drilled Rotors
K&N Filter
HID Fog Lamps
Electric Seats
Excellent maintainence records
57K Miles

So the story starts with my DEPO LED Tail lights arriving a day before I purchased the car:


I flew from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale and picked the car up in Boca Raton:


I decided to veer off and take a little scenic route through Jupiter Island:








I was tempted to pull into one of these mega mansion homes with the gate open and snap a few pics, but I kept driving.

I caught quite a few love bugs on the way back so I stopped and had the car hand washed:

Looks clean. Do you mind if I ask where you purchased the tails from?

Thanks

I forget where I got them. They are DEPO brand though. I actually have to replace one (stopped working). I figure I'll try one more time before going to the OEM conversion.
