BMW Dominates Engine Of The Year Awards!

May 9th, 2008

2008 BMW M3 4.0 Liter V8 S65 Engine

The “International Engine of the Year Award” is a big deal as far as bragging rights go in this industry. Think of it like the Academy Awards for engines. However, instead of members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voting, you have 62 renowned motoring journalists, from 30 countries, casting ballots for their favorite fossil fuel burner.

Also worth noting - the beautiful high-revving 3.2 liter S54 engine in the e46 M3 won the contest in 2001, 2002, and 2003!

Almost Here!

April 10th, 2006

 It’s almost here - I got a call on Saturday from the dealer saying that it HAS arrived in bellevue and I could take delivery of it on Monday (today) if I want. I declined :-( because I have a huge deliverable due tomorrow at work, and I know that if I get the car, the last thing that will get done is the deliverable. Then, I found out that he’s off on Tuesday, so Wednesday 4/12 is going to be the day!! I’m taking the last half of the day off and am going to spend the rest of the day driving around at supersonic speeds. Of course I’ll break it in properly, but that doesn’t mean I can’t drive a little fast, right?

I ordered My 2006 Carbon Black BMW M3

April 3rd, 2006
BMW M3.  It's more of an obsession to me than anything else - I can't stop thinking about it. Mine was ordered on February 15th from BMW of Bellevue -  A 2006 e46 BMW M3 - Carbon Black Metallic, black Nappa Leather interior, and screw that aluminum trim shit, I went for custom Eucalyptus Malt Wood. My palms sweat when I think about it, fantasizing about tearing up the pavement at truly obnoxious speeds.  Since Seattle's streets suck ass, I opted for the 18 inch rims and Heated Seats are a must - it's 38 and raining here for 6 months out of the year!  10 way power front seets with memory, plus another 4 way adjustable width and lumbar support, does that make it 14 way adjustable seats? damn.  Had to get the sunroof too, I usually have it open year round whether it's raining or not.  Of course I had to go with the Six Speed Manual Transmission - BMW's SMG is cool, but it just doesn't do the car justice.  And I couldn't have a car like this without bi-level xenons, it would almost be sacreligious.

So, I'm just going to keep a running tally of the thoughts going through my head on this site.  Chances are they'll be M3 related, and there will most definitely be pictures and videos added.  In fact, there are a few below just to get things going.  This is about what my car will be trimmed like =)

These aren't pictures of my car ... nor did I take them, but this is what mine will look like :-)   This guy's Website is The BMW M3 E46 Coupe
