Yeah, I would be looking at a 550 or 575M manual, assuming I someday feel the need to spend a home down payment on a car.

Assuming I could some day justify spending six figures on a car, it would most likely be a 550 or 575M.

Tacking an erroneous “M Sport” moniker on a car that never had one is shady and instant crack pipe. It’s a garden variety Z3 2.5 with some nice wheels. Are those wheels worth the $3000 premium over a similarly equipped 2.5 with standard wheels? No.

There was no “M Sport” Z3. The seller’s description of having the “M SPORT 2.5L ENGINE” is not historically correct.

Bob & Doug should have popped the hatch and yelled at the onlookers:

Hi Feelin! A few handy links, since I dug into the science for you:

What is this listicle BS?
