I vote for Scalbert and Allmotor to meet somewhere half way, for the two legendary Turbo/Super charged 6 MT CL-S' to get together for some track times and pictures, of course this would be one hell of a meet, and I would HAVE to go to whever this would happen.

Not much of a sleeper once to add new turbos, new exhaust, etc. Subarus get loud very very very quickly. And when they do, they sound like ass.

I never found our previous E46 328i to be too small and I am above average size. Yes, there is less trunk room but we won't be vacationing in it; the Sienna will be used. There was adequate room in back for adults to ride comfortably on short trips, etc.

The flat 4 just doesn't do it for me. Sounds funny.

It's an unfortunate, but wise choice!!! My brother had fully restored a vintage 914-6 from the ground up complete with lots of mods. Car was really sweet. However, for over 8 yrs, the time it took to restore, it was a sore point with his wife. In the end, he sold it about 6 months after completing his restoration. Afterward, his wife realized that he made one of the biggest sacrifices in his life and has appreciated it since. He now drives an Explorer. And now he's into cycling big time...

I would take a real hard look at that M5 you mentioned at the dealer. Will out handle the 330 plus the grunt of a V8 .. I personally like the look of them much more than a 3 series.
394 naturally aspirated horsepower out of the box. handling exceeding the 330 with lots of room for modding .. and you get to keep your six gears ..
oh and I love the wheels
edit: and have you ever heard one? car has major bling factor .. oh and the halo headlights that I love so much.

I just checked out some listings on the M5 and found that I could pick up a nice one with warranty for $50k. It is not like me to get a used car like this but then again, an M5 is not a normal car. The performance would satisfy me for some time to come.
Hrmm, I could definitely live with that. Now I just need to convince Jennifer of this.

I love the M5....I wish I had the additional coin to get a used 2002/3 one and then mod it.
, never

With a good dealer & service department, BMW's CPO program is almost like buying a new car.

Man, this has really got me thinking now. Why did the M5 have to be mentioned.
I have been searching on them and finding that it would be very feasible to get one and not touch it. Here is one I am going to look at tomorrow:
