+1 on the CR Spotless. Can't live without it, especially whenever I need to wash my RX and black cars. For those who want one, it's cheaper at Costco than directly from CR. I paid $299+tax for my DIC-20 unit.

Mark II

I have a LHR21 MKI in the arsenal as well but since going with the 15 i've never used it again. I would really like to get a Nano iBrid to get into those really tight places.

As for the CR Spotless I got mine from Costco as well when they had the sale a few years ago. I can't wash my car without it.

Huh? The V8 M3 has crap for torque. I'm sure on paper it's more than the I6 but it feels terrible. The F80 M3 has lots of torque.

Was comparing between my E46 and my S2000.

Yes compared to a twin turbo F80 it will have less tq.

If this car isn't one of the best looking coupes of all time, I don't know what is. I've always wanted one but I'm scared of all the work I would have to put into it (especially at this point in its life). Kudos to you for doing so!

for those of us daily driving our S2000 can you remind us what torque is? Revving my car to 5000 rpm at every stop light just to keep pace with minivans has removed my recollection.

Sweet E46 M3! You did your homework, put in the sweat and dough and you'll have an awesome ride.
