Could be worse though. At least we don't get too much of the "stretched euros" stancetard crowd here.
Well said.

Sometimes I worry that this place is becoming too dumbed down, but then I head over to E90Post and I'm reminded that we actually have a pretty solid community. It's mind-numbing over there. Having a niche vehicle certainly limits aftermarket support somewhat, but it sure seems to keep out a lot of stupid, too.
