This past weekend I had the chance to drive a 79,000 mile Brilliant Red M3, which was nearly bone stock.
The owner purchased this car through us a number of years ago, but living situation in NYC did not bode well for bringing it back to the city. He decided it was finally time to bring it home and asked us to prep it for it's return. Some of you may have seen the photo of the car emerging from storage on our Facebook page...
In the respect of the age old debate - which is worse/better - using a car regularly, if sparingly, or letting it sit.... the amount of work required to get this car to a comfortable reliable state for it's owner to drive it back to NYC from NH and use more frequently moving forward, I'll side with USE IT DON'T LET IT SIT every day of the week.
Bear in mind, when it was put into storage, it had no deferred maintenance, so it wasn't like it was put away "wet."
I put ~250 miles on the car at the owners request, to ensure it was ready for his drive.
Below are a few select photos from the drive that I thought you might enjoy... Sorry they aren't flawless, I took them with my 8MP Olympus DSLR that is 8 years old.







Enjoy,
