excuse me ..... You're an idiot Christopher...but ok go buy you a 99 model.

you'll either...

a. call it a piece of shit
b. bitch about prices on aftermarket parts for it.

but i'll be the first to tell you... the gas pedal is too stiff...the clutch is too soft...and the shifter feels like its going to rip out of the gear box...unless you get a newer model E46 which is a diff. ball game.
