The Road Back Home: A Journey with a 2005 BMW M3 (E46)

Some stories aren’t just about the cars — they’re about the journey they spark, the moments they create, and the people you share them with. This past April, my dad and I embarked on one of those unforgettable adventures. The reason? A 2005 BMW M3 (E46) in Mystic Blue with a cinnamon interior and a 6-speed manual transmission. The car was far from pristine perfection, but it was a driver’s car — solid, well-maintained, and most importantly, rust-free.

The Journey Begins

The trip started with an early morning ride on the C&J Bus from Portsmouth, NH to Boston Logan Airport. The anticipation buzzed through me, mingling with that familiar excitement of pre-trip jitters. My dad and I shared quick glances, knowing this would be one for the books.
