Yup. The S38 sounds unbelievable. My uncle's selling his e24 M6 and I am sorely tempted to buy it. I don't really need another M car right now though. I'm still trying to find a relatively (I mean, really clean ones are unicorns) Scout to do a resto mod on. Too many projects, too little time and money.

Since you covered my first choice right off the bat (obvious answer is obvious, no?) I'll nominate an earlier BMW M division product- the S38. Good power, sound glorious, and pretty damn bulletproof if maintained well (which, admittedly, is something of an undertaking).

Exactly. Try building a nuclear/solar/wind/hyrdroelectric/geothermal powered car. Those technologies are all viable (at least to some extent) right now, on a larger scale.

6, but I DD an M3 so it kinda doesn't count as a boring car.

Probably because it never sounded like a good idea?

Both are ridiculous, therefore I have to give the win to the more ridiculous of the pair. You're not going to buy either of those because you're being sensible, therefore it's Gremlin all day, because it just makes me smile.

1. Most versatile performance car? How's it more versatile than the 4 door? Still hauls ass, just can also haul more asses in greater comfort.

My mother was given a 1992 Camry (manual!) by her mother in law after the MIL decided she needed something safer (not to stop driving) some time around 2004, at which point the Camry had about 40k on the clock. It was totaled about 6 months later by a 16 year old in a hit an run in a parking lot while my mom was…

If you extrapolate those times over 24 hours, assuming 23 hours on track for both cars, the P1 would be within shouting distance of lapping the Radical an 8th time. Holy shit.

No kidding. I can't fault him for being upset that the color is wrong, but that's an AWFUL looking interior.

I was just going to say, this is probably the least ugly thing they've ever done. Which is saying pretty much nothing, it's still terrible.

I've never had a note left, but I did have someone ask me what I'd sell it for as I was getting out of my e36 M3 once. It's a tidy black on black 4 door, and I'd only had it for about a month at that point. I said it wasn't for sale.

I'm not much of a Mercedes fan in general, but god damn this is awesome. That said, the price is still insane. If it were say 12k less and didn't have the Arrested Development I Blue Myself edition interior I'd be all over it, but as is, for the asking price, ehhhh.

This.

Another angle.

As someone who's smashed the chin guard off a full face mountain bike helmet, very yes. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have any teeth left if I hadn't been wearing one.

Ha, okay. Which engine?

e36 can't spin the tires? You're doing it wrong.

That was my thought as well.

Because I6.
