So climb off your high horse, some of what you say is crap. You should come to our dyno day and have a look around, you may learn something. Last edited by Kiwi Peter; 11-06-2013 at 02:52 AM.. |

~$5000-7000 for parts and labour for a complete M3 suspension/hubs/brakes/LSD retrofit. ~$10,000 for parts and labour for complete 1M bodykit retrofit, paint and appropriate wheels/tyres. ~$3000-10,000 for used and/or new parts for full 1M interior retrofit incl coding for M button and instrument cluster. ~$10,000-30,000 for ///M badge on the boot and special "Powered by ///M" engine cover As far as I know, the steering rack is not a straight swap unless the 135i has active steering. But yeah, definitely resale values won't be the same. FYI, if I had the money I would have bought a 1M, but I'm way too "invested" in my E82 to go back now. I'd like to eventually do the 1M widebody conversion but can't see that happening for a while. Not buying the badge and engine cover though

To some it means checking themselves out in shop windows whilst looking for a coffee shop. To others it is a early sunday morning driving on a empty piece of bent tarmac, with the windows down and the 6 cylinder radio turned up full. Which one are you ? If you can heel and toe you are probably the latter. If you cant, most likely the former. |

Yes a car is an asset because you can sell it and get some money back. It is not a good asset because it depreciates. |

Purchasing a car for a premium for its driving experience and it's identity is car enthusiast to me. |

My M experience is different to you that's why it's called experience. It is not measurable quantitatively. |

Some people here have a 1 dimensional conception of what car enthusiast is about.
It just amazed me how close minded some people are. Do I care? Not one bit. Everyday I drive my car and have my M experience I am getting my money's worth. Did I attack people in the forum? I don't think so. May be I am putting out a different view. Some people can't control themselves to jump the gun is their character issue. |

To claim you're more of an enthusiast based on your choice of weapon for your commute is laughable. Anyone can spend all day on forums, read Car and Driver and spend few more bucks than the next guy but that doesn't make you an enthusiast. Instead it makes you an insecure elitist wannabe.

I can understand your confused, but can you clarify which decision is going to lose the most Sorry I thought an asset was something that provides a future benefit and unless you count a loss as a benefit (hey you arent a merchant banker by chance???) then it aint Last edited by skidz; 11-07-2013 at 08:35 PM.. |

Lookup 1 Series or BMW Enthusiast and you'll see a pic of Sparoz.
Who else spends serious cash in all the right areas, tracks their car and organises AND partially funds an Advanced BMW Driver Training Day 2500km away from his home? No one, just sayin! |
