1LE the day I got it:





I own both. Only the m235i was a lease.
The trunk is worthless and I've seen the net...5/7CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Sat May 06, 2017 10:47 am I'm going to have to think about the bow tie badges a bit more and see.
At least I have the option since the dealer screwed up and didn't put the LPO option on with the illuminated bow tie and I bought the plain black ones before I realized it.
Thanks for the comments, I'm really happy with these cars now and feel "at home" in them. The m235i was really nice and a great car, but I never really felt like it was me...
So my 1LE didn't come with the cargo net option.... I ordered it from Cultrag and it showed up this week. $40 from Cultrag or $60 from Chevy. It shows up and I'm like WTF... This thing is TINY. It might, maybe fit two cans of soda in it!
Detroit will probably say that's all the "cargo" you can fit into the trunk opening..

They were never a joke ? Member when the camaro had 350hp in 1997 and the m3 had 240?Clownshoobie wrote: ↑Sat May 06, 2017 9:27 am Remember when Chevy sports cars were a joke? It's hard to imagine a reason to buy a new M3.
Then you could go C5 corvette which was the same weight and handled even better for the same price or less[user not found] wrote: ↑Sat May 06, 2017 12:34 pmExcept the M3 handled a whole lot better and was at least 200 lbs lighter.
Is that why the (E36) M3 is relegated to a slower autox class both stock and modded, it handles so much better than the 'mero?

The 4th gen to this day is a formidable handler with minimal mods i.e. shocks/springs/bars. It looks like crap and has crap interior, but it's an extremely effective tool.

car lover... the 4th gen is none of those things. It's a stupidly effective vehicle
nearly on par with C5 for half the price. Toss a few grand to Strano and you're more or less handling with the 1LE that
just bought.
is that actually a thing they will do??CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Sat May 06, 2017 7:12 amI own both. Only the m235i was a lease.
The only way I am getting rid of the Z is if I like the Zora when it finally shows up. If that car is crazy good I will get one in the second model year.
