Boo... No mSport or track handling package

[Eye of the Tiger]

Nah it's a manual- they have it incorrectly listed

Yeah, you have to look at the pictures. Dealers do that shit all the time. It makes it that much harder to find a manual car. I would deduct 10% right off the sales commission for that crap, but they don't like it when you tell them how much commission they deserve.

M sport is for poseurs, I don't live on a track. Plus I have no kids I have to impress

I will grant you though, the M sport steering wheel is the best wheel ever. Other than that, do not want on an AWD car.

They listed it correctly on the BMW CPO website, so it was easy for me to find but I wonder if that's why the thing has been unsold since like November.

The wheel and the seats are key.  Plus adaptive dampers as the F30 floats like a boat.

Track package would give you a rear lsd.

If I was gonna move up north and needed a new AWD thing, I'd get a base Impreza wagon. If I was gonna be stuck in shitty traffic and wanted an autotragic, I'd get a Hyundai Kona. True fax.

This thing is fine for my purposes. Plus the price is right. My priorities were turbo 6, 6MT, Harmon kardon in that order

I'm spending tonight looking for what could fuck me with an F30 and the B58. So far, it's actually looking pretty solid.

[Laconian]

When's the signup for that BMW track days thingee?

[cawimmer430]

You should post before and after pics. I think I actually might like your winter wheels more. 

I do love my winter wheels, but I totally adore my summer wheels. They complete the car.

Eh, the I6 and 6MT is good enough for me

I've been looking into getting this 3-series and I got them down to 31.5k but I got cold feet and told the dealer I needed a day or two to think about it. Is this thing gonna bleed me dry with maintenance and such? I like the car itself a lot, but I worry about it getting very expensive down the road.

Y u no 2 series? Maximize the cost-benefit payback.

Or just buy the 4 doors, since that's what he really wants.

I think I finally figured out what my winter beater should be. A 2010-2015 Mustang GT. Ford's are shitboxes, so I won't care about parking it on the street or driving it in the snow. But they're still fun and cool enough to satisfy that need.

Why not a 1999-2004? They look better with a lift and bigass snow tires.

[HurricaneSteve]

No traction control.

I like 2010-2015 styling. I like the 2017 too, but they're more $$ so it's probably not worth it.

Go for 11+, Coyote is great

Looked at the cars build sheet just now- it has sport package which includes sport seats and a sport wheel or something like that. Whatever they were, felt good to me

Boring. Put a locker in the rear end. Doritos.

I think it makes more sense for a winter beater to have the engine over the drive wheels.

Beetles were a beast in snow, that much is true.
