thats why you let some sucker take the depreciation first. then pick up one a few years later. e92 M3s are a great buy right now and will likely start going up like the e46. rock chips? just clear bra your car. never worry about the paint again.

Imagine what the 911 turbo s buyers feel like WHEN volunteer to debadge their cars from factory. just another boxter to the GP. for real 95% of the world just sees BMW, IMO the F8x is so beautifully shaped it could be a nissan for all I care

Why wouldn't a person with a 70k car also buy a tune and bolts-ons? If anything the mods relative to the price of the car are a drop in the bucket. They could probably afford it easier. ![]() |

have you guys not seen the AMG PACKAGE regular c class, or the S-Line A4, that doesn't make them a C63 or S4, those are just appearance packages .. same s*it with MSport it's just an appearance package, it won't have the M4 engine or the suspension or seats or electronics of an actual M car just freaking appearance items like bumper, steering wheel, rims etc
and to the ones who put a tune and outperform an M, go to the track, M is a different animal you can't just unleash all it's potential on the street, it's like buying a civic with NOS it will probably beat any car, but it's just a Honda.. |

That is very true. I don't live in an area where we get annual snow, but I do go snowboarding quite a bit. And even still, if I see a storm coming, or I know snow would have accumulated on the road, I call my trip off.

But you're correct about the 135i and its price. If I were forced to get a less expensive car again, I would most certainly be in the market for another 135i. I loved mine, and wouldn't mind getting another and sticking a big menacing FMIC in the front bumper again. ![]() |

I disagree with the above statement. When you're in the business of building and selling cars, your rate of growth and profit is directly related to your cars! If you're not bringing desirable vehicles to the marketplace, your going to have a difficult time growing and making profits. Profit follows a product's sales success, not the other way around.

Here’s the thing...M cars feel special. They don’t feel like a tuned 335i or 540i, which can be fast and loud, but lacking the complete package you get with a true M car. The driver of an M car shouldn’t care if other cars look like theirs. The driver of an M car gets to enjoy just how special their car feels every time they get behind the wheel. Cars are meant to be enjoyed and when you buy an M car you are getting an incredibly well engineered car that will put a smile on your face every time you get behind the wheel.

The dumbing down of BMW has led to mo' money and won't stop for the few of us remaining enthusiasts' tears. Thankfully plenty of other brands seem to be picking up where BMW, EPS, RFT and the bizarre lack of LSD all intersect. |

I love the masochistic ride my M2 provides. You can't get that from a series car. Hell, you can't get that from an M car with adaptive suspension these days.
