Also, when I heel toe, I rotate my right leg inward to blip the throttle. Just seems like it would annoy me in daily driving. I don't mind aggressive side bolsters, but leg separators is a bridge too far for me.

My uncle had a frozen black edition e92 M3. I'll send pic's when I find it.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2025 5:36 pmIt's BMW "frozen" paint. Which is some kind of netherworld thing between Matte and the same gloss paint that is still on every non-Armo owned car.
I hate it, and it would be a deal killer for me but otherwise, :sweetwouldbuy:

now that is neat. Look ma, no head gaskets! They would run offy's at indy with as much boost as they could get turbos to make without spark blowout.

when i was single i no bullshit was looking for a blown VW W8 engine to make into a coffee table. Even bad ones are surprisingly expensive due to rarity.

I would if I could. I spent $10k re-doing my house after Jessi and I split up.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2025 5:50 pmSome guys have $20K to blow on decorations because they are single

Still we're talking like what, $2200 versus $22000? $22K for a decoration that 99.9% of women would hate is just wild to me. You have to be a billionaire for that to pencil out.golftdibrad1 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2025 8:09 amdepends on how rich you are.

$10K for a whole house though, honestly seems not bad, especially for a guy who is a designer by trade and loves that stuff.

oh for sure, that's about what they were running. I was in at like ~400 for engine then diy the rest for very little extra in material. I make triple what I did then, and still would not be into a decorative item like that for 2k. Hell I wouldn't spend 2k on a REGULAR coffee table

although, I bet the 22k offy engine ends back up in a running car.

My sitch is odd though, I think I'd actually be willing to pay more for a covfefe table than my wife. She kind of likes cheap stuff so she can redecorate every few years, I'd probably drop a G on a table and keep it in perpetuity.golftdibrad1 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2025 9:41 am

This is similar to what I have now. I went and looked on West Elm's website and they no longer sell the one I have.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the lipstick either but I don't think it's too difficult to switch back to OEM or even just a CSL grille without it.D Griff wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2025 10:19 amI hate those red grill outlines but blue over orange is pretty damn sweet!Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2025 10:11 am @max You can buy the machines with souls G80.
