If you’re stuck on the M159 you’ll probably never make that dream swap a reality. If you settle for the lesser versions used on C/CLK/E/S/CL (basically every “63 AMG” from 2007 to about 2010/11), you might have an opportunity there.

I love the versatility of the LS engine but what you fail to realize that not everyone is into that type of thing. There is no such thing as an objective reason when it comes to being “overrated” and I honestly don’t think they are overrated, I think they are overdone/overused. When I see a car with an LS swap, I just…

Did you just come here to make this into a Ford vs GM shit show? Jeez you guys never let up with that crap

Patrick, stop trying to make rotary happen. It's not going to happen.

If I'm not mistaken the removable hatch is for emergency driver extractions

Waaay off. Are you running out of things to write about?

There are those who can afford the maintenance but not afford a brand new one. It’s not as impossible as everyone thinks. The idea that you need “$20k in the bank, just in case” is pure bs and a lot of people believe it. You have to fully understand the car you’re getting into, common issues associated with that…

This is gold. Thanks for a good laugh

Unless you're 17 or look like you're 17, I don't think that would be a problem

This story is, in a very odd way, extremely relevant. Good work.

I’m glad you took the time to explain your point. The truth is that if YOU are driving the car, every aspect of the car matters to YOU, and in this case, I agree. The 4C I feel is not really a track rat, so the need for a DCT is unnecessary. The other day I was talking with some friends regarding the M235i and they…

Anyone know when the less expensive models will be available? The 510hp models sounds great but I wanna see how they handle the more take versions

Well said. Most do not understand why it's better to drive a spectacular used car vs a bland, boring new car.

Also, maybe the would be thief couldn’t drive stick! Which I presume that 350 is.

I was thinking the same thing. It’s possible the killer said there was a nice area to test drive the car and unfortunately it was his plan along :(

Agreed. People should read a little into what hydrocarbons are and the various ways they can be made

I’m currently working on making diesel from algae oil at my lab, and even that is still years away from practical use. I'm not sure what to think of this... Sounds even more expensive than current methods. There are a ton of different ways to make diesel from renewable sources.

Once again, you got it all wrong. I KNOW I'm a douchebag, I'm just trying to help you come to terms with the truth about yourself (the good old "takes one to know one"). First step is accepting you have a problem. :)

No no, you got it all wrong. Jealousy would imply you're worried someone will take what you have. Envy is when you concern yourself with what others have. Bottom line is, being a jerk while trying to call someone (you don't even know) a douche doesn't add to your "internet street cred, yo." Get over yourself.

Envy can make a man very bitter. Calling someone a douche they've never met makes it even more obvious. Seeing others with stuff they don't have can truly make em say some stupid shit. Ignore the above commenters as they are clearly the "douches" in this situation.
