The Ultimate Driving Machine

 160 MPH BMW Super Car.

2004 BMW M3. 10,000 miles. $29,000

This was a one owner car garaged in Virginia since new.
It’s never seen rain or snow.
Kept detailed by a meticulous mature owner.
Car enthusiast Chris Grace says:
"BMW engineers have this car dialed in to the driver’s senses and reflexes.
They know exactly what they’re doing. I’m done with Porsches.
Trading in my 911 for a BMW."

Dr. Ron’s Client Brian needed the car for the Wall Street Hamptons weekend commute, 
but in the end figured there were more interesting women on the Jittney than on the LIE.
This fish got away, but is probably still for sale in that VA garage.
