Heh, my brother bought his S52 13 years ago for $25k, get offers for about the same every time he goes to BMWCCA event, great buy! S54 cars are already going insane!

Have a friend who bought and early, but beautiful runner for $19k this summer! Called up an old guy on long island and waxed poetic about how hes always loved the car and wanted one, and they guy said just give me 19 cash and it’s yours! They’re still out there!

The is is certainly very interesting, all the added benefits of the facelift + the insane factory built N54 engine...

Art is going crazy now too, correct?

Exactly, mint 70k e46s are literally the same price as low E92 M3s, it’s crazy. I tihnk a $25k e92 with a slick top will be a solid investment.

They are more enthusiast cars.

E46s is exactly what I am talking about. They bottomed out about 3 years, and have been climbing ever since. Try finding a manual coupe with under 100k miles that’s been taken care of. Impossible under $15k. 3 years ago that was a $12k car. They aren’t going to go down. Why? Because they weigh 3300 lbs, not 3800 like…

Seriously, I’m buying a 996 in the Spring. We always sit around, or listen to our fathers, “Oh man in 68’ there was a 300 SL for sale for $5,000!!! I wish I had bought it”, or “man I owned an original DeTomaso Pantera I got for $2,500, I wish I kept it”. Well every single market analysis should these cars CRUSHING…

The used car bubble will break? Lol, wat? They aren’t making any more of them. Get used to it. What on Earth would cause the price of E30s to go down, when every single day they become more and more rare? Even 996s are going UP in price. Why? Because they weigh 3,000 lbs even, have real exhaust notes, are great to…

....savage.

COTD

I can not believe that was a real fucking movie...

No. This in not in any way true. The turbos and waterpumps are completely unrelated. The waterpumps failed to do poor design. That has absolutely nothing to do with boost levels.

What the hell dwarven metal is the rest of that drivetrain made out of??

As an American, I will listen and tell you that it does not sounds like a small..... HOLY SHIT THE DOWNSHIFTS SOUND SLIKE A SMALL COUNTRY BEING ANNIHILATED

Fair enough!

Seriously, my n54 got 18 combined and 25 highway, my e91 n52 got maybe 27 highway

Honestly it was the transfer case and then 2 weeks later the actuator motors that put me over the edge, and as soon as I developed a cylinder 3 misfire that I knew wasn’t plugs of coils (because I replaced them) I knew I was done with the car, replacing 3 fuel injectors with gen 12 ones after I had already done so…

Fair enough, I was at an admittedly small chevy dealership last week looking at something for the GF and they didn’t have any yet, so i didn’t think anyone had them.

Haha, fair enough
