Picked up a 2012 M3... (renamed)

Re: Picked up a new ride...
Nice M3.
Do some research on what you're looking for in a place to live. We just moved away from there in January and couldn't be happier. I guess it depends what you're into, but it's actually a fairly small population center and a lot of things are missing because of that. Some people really like the area, but we never felt like it offered what we wanted. Good place to retire though, especially if you like boating or saltwater fishing or going to the beach. There is really no car modification culture there at all unless you like donks or lifted pickups; it's really more of a boating area than a car area. It's divided into a areas that are very, very different (Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, North Charleston, downtown, etc) so get a good feel for the general area before you commit to living in a particular section of town. If your significant other likes a particular store like ...say... Macy's, you'll have to drive to Savannah or Charlotte. There aren't any good malls anywhere in that area of the state... Same with pho. Savannah or Charlotte.
I didn't like charleston at all. Food was expensive, people were 'eh'.

Re: Picked up a new ride...
here's a thread i started after putting some wheels on- which i might add are pretty much terrible wheels. i think they look good (subjective, and not the finish i wanted...), but so far i've confirmed a hairline crack in the right front and a suspected crack in the right rear. probably caused by potholes, but still.
