Again another common problem, and I will again say that they most likely responded to this thread because I have unique issues.

Damned 1st year cars.

I was in a 135i coupe but found an 08 M3 Vert brand new that they offered for 22k off MSRP WITH factory warranty. I had to jump on it.

Maybe you can find another 08. I found 3 in California that they were willing to take a hit on. They were all manual though.

I think my 135i was quicker for sure. The N54 motor has torque EVERYWHERE while the S65 needs to be held in the high RPMS. Which I love btw. I used to drive an RX8. Makes you work for the power.

. The top down motoring and sound of the V8 is SOOO intoxicating though.

Couldnt agree more about topless motoring man. Glad it worked out for you.

I know the car needs a drop though. Those pics were taken a few hours after delivery. The car came with hideous chrome wheels so I had replacements waiting for the car.

Its an opportunity for you too. The market is definitely a buyers market right now. Good luck on your search! Sorry to hear your 1er didn't work out for you.

Your the first person ive heard of that doesnt like the 19" M3 wheels. I think they are beautiful. And common man, all cars need at least an inch drop from the factory. I thought that was common knowledge.

Edit: This is my 1000th post, why doesn't anybody ever shut me up?

They were actually the 18 inch wheels that normally come in graphite but the dealership decided to chrome them or something. I actually love the 19 inch package. haha Here is a pic.

BrokenVert · 09-17-2009, 11:38 PM

OMG those are ugly as sin, good call. Why would they chrome them?

The HPFP is fairly common issue and im sure that BMW NA is getting tired of hearing about it. Just as im tired of complaining to them about it.

They don't have the right to be tired of hearing about it until the goddamn thing gets fixed. this is beyond ridiculous.
