Own a car out of warranty?Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 2:16 pmThen go for the 40k mile ones. I'd own one of those without a warranty NFG. They're reliable overall.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 2:15 pm
That I could not agree more, hence why I look at g37's from time to time, but they are still quite expensive unless you go for 40k+ miles.
It is comparable, maybe slightly more compliant, and that was on 19s with the sport package. The suspension was pretty "soft"Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 2:19 pmHow was the ride compared to the STI if you can remember it??Davestr wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 2:17 pm
This^^^ the car has immense reliability. Its beyond low maint. 5w30 synthetic and 15000km changes here are nothing. In terms of sportscars its one of the easiest to own. We daily'd ours all 4 seasons, road trips etc. Fkn Timex of sportscars it seems. Road noise is about the only real downer for them. Overall the car has very few real weak areas. Turn the key and go. Whats not to like.
I still like these. Need ashelf but maybe she could sit shotgun.
One of the reasons why I'm looking at them. I read on the forums about the timing belt is designed to last to 250k miles,Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 2:16 pmThen go for the 40k mile ones.

if it's true or forum bullshit. Manual's are also hard to find, but I know their auto's are smooth.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 7:49 am"As far as the aftermarket parts go it has 20 inch Forgiato martellato wheels which you will not find on any other m3"
well duh, cause not many m3 owners have bad taste as you do.
The manual gets regularly bombed as difficult to operate and a jerky clutch.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 3:28 pmOne of the reasons why I'm looking at them. I read on the forums about the timing belt is designed to last to 250k miles,
race car driving. I'd want the automatic in the G. And no way in hell would I buy an MT if I had a commute with DC traffic. Or Philly burb traffic.D Griff wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 8:41 amI can't make this up...Johnny_P wrote:

I've witnessed the BMW badge-off in real life. It was
when the 5 series owner said to the other dude, "just get back in your 3 series and shut the fuck up"
LOL
I was once talking to a chick at a bar, she told me she drove a BMW. So I was like "cool, is it a three series? I like those" and this bitch legitimately slapped me across the face as hard as she could and said "it's a 530i, I wouldn't drive a three series. "

Gotta be honest, I don't think I miss the manual as much as I'm used to atleast driving the urban east coast/northeast, especially when I mostly had it when I worked part time, and college, so I wasn't in traffic on most of my weekday driving.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 3:37 pmThe manual gets regularly bombed as difficult to operate and a jerky clutch.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 3:28 pm

Right Zs are trashed about the same way the 3rd owner M cars are... 20-40k is affordable for's willing to go in at 10% and not afford maintenance, get that thing repo'd.
40k+ keeps the trash out. I was talking about reliability... Most 370s are very solid even with abusemotor doe. The VQ is a very stout engine and can really take a beating. I think it's probably THE most impressive 6 cyl engine line in existence in terms of durability, maintenance, reliability, and NA power.

They are indeed, I was jelly of Max's Z (except for the auto) that was a beautiful car in like new condition with almost every option for a great price.D Griff wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 5:52 pmSixSpeeder wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 5:31 pm

They're pretty rad cars and quite cheap lightly used.
I'm tempted to go look at one, there are two-ish year old models around for under $20k. Seems like a hell of a car for that price.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 5:54 pmThey are indeed, I was jelly of Max's Z (except for the auto) that was a beautiful car in like new condition with almost every option for a great price.
I like Subies, I just thought my WRX was boring.
They're not dog friendly, otherwise I would. My current car is great for dog hauling with the rear seats removed and a plastic cargo mat, when I had my truk/WRX, they would ride on the backseat on a blanket that needed to be washed daily.D Griff wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 5:52 pmSixSpeeder wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 5:31 pm

I can totally see why. You basically have to go STI. WRX is just vanilla. But dat 40k price tag doe.
