Freedom!

I can relate to this so hard.

Your M52 has an aluminum block. The M52TU was used from like ‘99 to ‘01 before they switched to the M54. Agreed though, M52s are such solid engines

M52 or M54 car? I’d trust the M54 more with boost but those aluminum M52s are cool.

Roughly 150 horsepower worth of advantages.

Doug, I’ve got a Tacoma in Philadelphia. Next time your stuck, I can come pull you out. Buddy of mine has a BMW shop in the North East and I spent half this weekend clearing his lot haha.

My friend has a CPO 2014 S4 / 6MT. Great car, very fast and defnietely subtle. It’s got 35k miles and in the six weeks he’s had it, the key fob won’t automatically unlock the door, lane assist doesn’t work and there are a few other bugs. Get one with a warranty.

Trim your herd.

Yes! I’ve been trying to convince my roommate to buy one for years!

Think of how much fun this would be to take off road or drive around a beach or state forest. The Evoque has the off road ability of the Range Rover line but to most people it seems silly to take a $50,000 vehicle and get it muddy.

I went through some serious number crunching, loan research and evaluations of my life and relationships when I saw this on Craigslist. Want is strong.

The first other car person I met in college let me take a drive in his modified Daytona Violet E36 M3. After that I was hooked on Bimmers. Fast, fun and can still show up places respectably. Did I mention it was purple?

That’s insane. Define fall apart? Not chastising you, I’m legitimately curious about what happened, were you alright?

Spent countless hours, to much money and nearly ruined my relationship building a 24 Hours of Lemons car two years ago. I had never been on a track and within the first 10 laps the nut securing the oil pump sprocket backed out. Immedietly lost oil pressure and put a rod through the block.

A fair concern but the Z3 shared the same suspension setup. E36 Front / E30 rear. Although I’m not sure how much praise the Z3 suspension setup got...

I’m 23 and my only Fiat experience is a friend’s 2013 Abarth. I am completely in the dark about old Fiat and think this looks great.

I’m young enough where this looks like a good deal and lot of fun. Old, Italian, Sporty, Clean Enough? In.

Why couldn’t this “sporty crossover” be a Juke Nismo that isn’t just an appearance package?

E34 FTW
