I work inside that Chase Branch. I was a fan of Bathing Ape until it got too popular. Now, I just have them.

I always see your car passing in front of the branch around the evening! Nice looking ride!

Just saw a silver E92 M3 DCT with 19" OEM Wheels next to the Startbucks Coffee close to Bellevue Best Buy around 9:00~9:20AM

Haha, yea. That was me. I just cnt get my eyes away from the beautiful M3 and the sounds of the exhaust. The sound btw the DCT and Manual are different, but I dont kw hw to explain it. That is how I recognized it as DCT, but I was kinda guessing too. By the way, great choice on the color and combination.

thanks. Plenty of modding left to do.

painted reflectors and 12000k HIDs angels coming in this week.

Going to get some springs next (already have 18/15mm spacers).

Eventually I'd really like some HPE P47s in gunmetal to darken the car a bit (love the 5 spoke)... but the 4500 price tag is rough.

annndd trying to decide if I want to put gloss black vinyl on the roof.

was the e46 a vert? if so, i saw that one too. didn't see the vantage tho.

i saw a couple black maseratis too. one was driven by a girl that was probably still in school at the U. also saw a blue ferrari f430 and a couple c63 amgs.

lots of great scenery in general at u-village today.

UW Campus had ton of people out!

I saw a brand new SG E90 M3 with Bellevue plates getting on the ramp in Issaquah heading West on i90. I was going to say hi but looks like your wife was test driving.

My E9x M3 isn't the only one in town...

My wife saw a AW E92 M3 leaving Columbia Center Mall in Kennewick. Unfortunately, I was at SEATAC waiting on a connecting flight.
