One was our previous M3, which saw a good amount of track usage.



This car was sold a couple of months ago. The 2nd one is a recent M3 we just took possession of a couple of months ago with low mileage. We plan on performing an inspection on its replacement to get a low mileage comparison (~18,000mi).



We also start a MY08 track-dedicated M3 build next week, an oil analysis and rod bearing inspection is among the first items on the list.

Those that local are more than welcome to drop by and see in person.
