Convince me not to.....
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/49344/mvc-786s.jpg"></center><p>
Checked out a Full Dinan S2 Modded M3 today, Aritic White loaded, 57K sticker, he will sell for 50K. Everything I want, plus they will throw in a wheel and tire package. I can buy, or lease at 15K miles in the mid to upper 600's with 3K down.
The car has 7,000 miles on it, but has all the Dinan work that doesn't void the warranty. (Can't say the same about stink *** Audi) You all know of all the problems I have had with my car...the latest (my headlights are buisted, after I told my dealership to check them, and they said nothing was wrong). I really like the M3, but I think to myself, if I keep setting up my car like I am, with the Sways, KW Variant, Lighter Wheels, Bigger Brakes...I COULD THEORETICALLY turn it into a Dinan S2 M3 beater. How much money that will require, I dont know???
What to do guys?

Remember this, the grass is ALWAYS greener somewhere else
My lawn is an Audi. it's a lifestyle choice for me as i get everything I need with the audi.
the bmw, would need to come with AWD a wagon and snowtires to even be in the same ballpark, which it's not,
but then that's just my opinion....
both are great cars.
I'm sure you are frustrated, but in order to play you need to pay, that car is modded, if one of those break that's $$ and lots of it.
good luck with the decision.

It's all DINAN though....
thats the thing factory Warranty is fully intact since Dinan is BMW's official tuner. It has the remainder of the warranty left, and it's an 04 too. WOW, I really, really want it.
Your post makes me want it even more. I can get mods for my car, and still be udner warranty, with the BMW, or I can get shafted by Audi for putting SuperWhite Fog lights on my ride??????

I totally agree with you. however.....
they are 2 different cars. if you haven't driven the car, I'd say drive it.
I need AWD where I live so that's important, if I didn't I'd be driving a RWD porsche!!!
Dinan makes great products and warranties.
I think the Test drive will seal the deal for you on the bmw...

I did, and therin lies the problem....
With the wheel and tire package I will either get the M3 19's or the wiser choice would be a snow and wheel package. I can tell the S4, if heavily modded would give me more fun than the M3, but that would take another 7K....
