BMW M3 Thunderstorm

German tuning company ATT-TEC presents the M3 Thunderstorm with 500HP supercharged V8. They also changed the suspensions, and the package contains 20'' rims and tyres.

Finally got a chance to take the new whip out for a short roadtrip. Met up with some friends along the way.

We met up and had lunch at Kanpai Sushi before heading out through Ortega Highway. Mark had to work so unfortunately didn't make the drive with us. Maybe next time. Here's a few shots of Mark's AMG SLK, David's A3s, and of course, my M3. The boy enjoyed watching the hard top convertible going up.

Unfortunately it started raining once we got to the interesting twisties so I didn't bother stopping for photos along the way since I preferred to keep my camera dry and mud outside the vehicle.

And here are a couple of shots at the lake. You can't tell, but the boy is hiding in the front passenger seat since he thought it was too cold and as usual, didn't want his picture taken. The drive was fun and it probably was a good thing we were behind a few cars through a good portion of the drive. Once they pulled off to the side it was really hard to not just gun it, but I really don't want to get any speeding tickets in this due to my tints and lack of front plate. Don't want to have to pay more than necessary if I can avoid it. Plus, there are a few areas of double fine zones on the drive. Better safe than sorry...plus, it was beginning to get wet too. I'm sure David was itching for me to floor it, but he patiently kept a reasonable distance behind, hehe. I'm sure both cars could have handled far more than what we allowed.

Massive blister on my thumb from rubbing gunk off my trunk left by the M3 badge.

I wasn't real happy with the double-sided tape that came on the monochrome M3 badge I bought...it was yellow and visible even after I filled in the edges with black sharpie so it made it look cheap to me. I got tired of looking at it and noticing it every time so I finally took it off today.

The cheap part (which wasn't cheap, actually) left me a little present on my thumb. The adhesive might have been ugly, but it sure was strong. I'm just glad it didn't damage my paint. It's nice and smooth now :D

Parking away from everyone else...except @tquach12 since I know he will be careful with his 335.

This is one of the downsides to having a nicer car. You end up worrying about where to park it. These two do make a handsome pair though, don't they?
