I bought a new 1999 M3 too, so I guess your idea of me "probably advising you not to buy one" doesn't quite hold water does it. It was a GREAT car and I am sorry I had to sell it - Sold it recently to buy a wagon (decided on a 525iT) to get my racing kart to the track. My GOD you people just can't help yourselves. You act as if waiting a few years is going to be the dumbest decision of my life - what the fuck gives? Last time I checked I haven't seen any E34's on the road yet, so by the time everyone on the waiting list has theirs delevered, it will be into 02 anyway. Geesh, you guys can get wound up easily.
