Nice steering wheel Jim.
Any things you miss that the Sierra did well and vice versa, what impresses you most about the M3?

dojj, good to see you back i part exed it with the M3 and then the guy sold it on.

and no it's not an evo, but it's been tuned and is suposedly putting out the same power levels as an evo.

i must admit it's not as exciting as the sierra, the sierra was more raw, the sheer noise of the thing was awesome.

apart from that, the M3 does EVERYTHING better... lol
