When you think of Seattle, things that come to mind are Starbucks and all the depressing rain it gets. It's no wonder the suicide rate there is among the highest in the nation. But don't worry -- there's a remedy to all the depression. Just do what Alex Hertz did and buy a '95 BMW M3. With 327hp to the wheels, this M3 is definitely something to live for.
Alex, otherwise known as Schnazzy, works as a computer genius. We only say this because his job title is too long to list. He also runs Schnazzy Productions, a type of video magazine covering local shows and bikini contests (send some girls our way!).
By the looks of his car, he must be doing quite well at his job.
At first glance, the M3 has little to show. But like a great van Gogh painting, the longer you look, the more it reveals. For example, the side moldings and door handles that were once black are color-matched with the rest of the car. Notice the custom Z3 fenders? This is the car they belong on: a BMW, not a bloody Honda! Schnazzy went the extra mile and made sure the car wasn't cheapened with knock-offs, so genuine Rieger E46-style front and rear bumpers grace the exterior. The car has also been resprayed with the stock Daytona violet. "I love purple because it's such a rare color," said Schnazzy.
