Just wonderful to drive cars like this with zero computer interference - No ABS, No Traction Control. These cars are art and I always get people talking wherever I drive it.

Having a hard time making my 128i with M Sport package get the go-kart handling it needs. Did a Dinan Stage 1 suspension upgrade but still too soft. I do not track my cars. I am purely talking about the daily commute and I still think it's too soft.
If you weren't on the other side of the country I would offer you a spin in mine. Between the M3 suspension bushings and TCK coilovers I have effectively dialed out the factory softness without making the car harsh to drive.

It's a great combo of cars and I certainly can echo that the 911 is loved wherever it goes. A vehicle truly made before the bean counters started running everything.

It's a joy to work on as well. Just did a valve adjustment, oil change, trans/diff fluid change, new distributor cap, new distributor rotor, air filter, spark plugs, and so on. Such a breeze to work on.
