When European Car Magazine debuted the M3 in their (I think) March 1993 edition, it was an Avus Blue M3 with Dove Grey leather and LTW wheels. It was love at first sight. I had to wait a couple of years, but I eventually bought her new in 10/95.

The decision to sell her was a tough one for me. I rarely drove her and she wasn't garaged so 90% of the time she was just a car cover with wheels peaking out. I finally decided that she should be owned by someone who had more time to appreciate her - that's why I sold her. She's now owned by a kid who's a total BMW nut and who comes from a BMW family (the family now has 5 BMW's including 3 M3's) so that part of it's cool, I guess.

I'm not sure I "regret" selling her since I still think it was the right thing to do - but I still miss her.

The part that REALLY sucks is that there's another Avus Blue M3 that parks in my parking garage at the office and I get to drive by it EVERY morning on the way to my parking space.

Sorry about the unsolicited reminiscing, it's apparently part of the grieving process
