By the time I sold mine, it was no longer stock. It had a high-rise manifold with 850 Holley, Hooker headers, free flow exhaust, and interior was changed from blue vinyl interior to factory black leather interior. Because of the high-rise manifold, it also had a L-88 hood. Looked and ran great!! Wish I still had it.

The interior noise is very annoying, too artificial. I can barely talk to my wife on Bluetooth while driving (especially with the valve open on the MPE).
The driving position is not quite right. The gas tank is too small. The car just doesn’t feel like a M car. Btw, I meant to say E28 535is not E28 335is. |

Just 5....hmmm, I've owned a lot of cars.
First car was a 1969 Firebird, I loved that car. When I lived in the north I had a Jeep CJ7, it was very useful and I enjoyed it a lot. 1968 Sunbeam Tiger, what a Kool car, very unique and something I probably should've kept as there were only 477 produced. BMW Z4MC, what a great car, I miss it but gave it up for my 993 which I got one year ago yesterday. Way Kool.... Last edited by Grumpy Old Man; 10-29-2018 at 08:14 AM.. |

There will always be traction issues when you add HP, no matter what car (Short of AWD). Having owned 2 Mazdaspeed6, I am very familiar w/the MS3 as well. My 1st MS6 I bought new so the aftermarket was, of course, not some mod heaven yet. Takes time like all cars. Weak motor mounts? Never had any issues on my end & I never see that as a common complaint. |

Yes, VW was great enough to do this and offered a Golf R version for the higher 290 HP... an excellent car with a great chassis on its own... in fact one that can run 11s w 3 mods if one so wishes and be an awesome DD. |

In chronological order:
1) 1988 Pontiac Firebird Formula with built 383 engine swap Combined the best parts of my first two cars and it was a rocket ship . Worked on this car with my Dad and have very fond memories of it. Was also driving this car when I met my wife. 2) 1999 Pontiac Trans Am First new car, purchased shortly after finishing college and getting my first real job. First car I took to the drag strip. Lots of good memories. 3) 2002 Honda S2000 First roadster, lots of fun to drive. Purchased new and kept for seven years, the longest I have ever owned a car. Have had a few others since, but this was the best. 4) 2017 BMW M3 First new BMW. Ordered and picked up at the Performance Center in SC. Great experience, which led to taking M Performance class later. Awesome car, just not a great fit at the time when I owned it. 5) 2018 Dodge Charger Hellcat Highest horsepower car I have owned by a good margin. First car that I am genuinely a little afraid to floor. Also, despite the power, the car is very tame in daily driving. Very comfortable for the daily drive or to take the family out. |
