    Don’t you mean the “street race” card? 😉

    I like them but do you feel like the sidewalls are soft? I have them on one of my cars and there isn’t nearly as much turn-in bite as with Michelin super sports.

    To be fair a lot of my friends with Porsches would argue the same thing...

    It’s crazy that by 2003 there was a 300 bhp Volvo wagon for sale...makes the range-topping Camaro look a little bit meh.

    I absolutely love this. Great price and may even be a good buy as they get rarer.

    I had two. I’ve since moved on but drove my buddy’s mk7 recently and remembered just how awesome they are. You got one of the absolute best! I’ve since bought an M235i, E30 325is, Dinan E46, F80 M3 comp, and a random Volvo S60R 6MT and still have all but the M235 and E30 and you know what? While they’re all great none

    Love these and wish they’d do a BMW. I’m imagining a 3.0CS, 2002, or E30 with this attention to detail without the stancebro attitude.

    This buyer doesn’t care when they go to Wal-Mart and buy Chinese or when they go the polls and buy Russian. They won’t care that their pickup is Chinese as long as its wrapped in “America .”

    ‘03 M3 is an inline 6

    Neutral: It did for me. I bought 2017 M3 (manual comp) over the Giulia after thinking the Giulia was the shit for a year plus.

    This happened to me. Same exact treatment from a Porsche dealer. I’m in my 20s and was looking at the Cayman and Boxster. They were incredibly rude and awful to deal with. I bought a BMW instead. My M3 is faster than the Cayman and they didn’t treat me like something they found on the bottom of their shoe.

    This is awesome. Don’t get me wrong. That said — you’re wrong about the last fastback sold: try the first-gen Mazda6. Also had with a manual...

    Yup! It’s an S60R. Very unusual shifter!

    Brought this in for service and there was actual confusion. The end is near!

    Just when I thought this kind of racing had reached “peak redneck” I find out that even the star drivers have old shitty cars in their yards...

    Had an M235i and just replaced it with an M3 competition package so you’re not far off! That said, the mini is far more practical than any of those.

    Honestly I’m tired of all the price whining on this. Small doesn’t have to equal cheap. They have proved there is an audience out there who desires and can afford a small, fun car that doesn’t feel like an econobox with an engine swap and some autozone spoilers. This is an awesome daily for someone who probably has

    They fly. This is really for the illusion of a long trip when pulling up at the valet. It’s fantasy but who cares? This won’t be an only car until it turns ghetto-fabulous in 10 years!

    But who really cares? If you’re spending $100k on a car mileage doesn’t matter. Hell, my cars aren’t $100k and I couldn’t even really tell you what they average mileage-wise.

    I have an M3 and I still like this. Different tools for different purposes. My M3 is great but it’s a manual comp package and driving it to work occasionally it’s never really relaxed and it feels like its pulling on the leash all the time if that makes any sense. It just wants to run, not cruise.
