Frantz.. don't forget M6 as well. Usually cheaper than M5, although the same platform.

shiett Frantz.. there's an '06 M5 w/ 53k miles for $17.9k.

It's a rebuild, probably because the engine went at some point.

That M5 in that youtube clip sounds nice

That S600 though...I'm using youtube on my phone to check these clips out. I pressed play then put my phone down to do other things so I wasn't looking at it. Heard the motor and thought I went to some F1 or Indycar video instead

For the money.. tough to beat a 235i.. It rides soft but still performs. If you got a stiffer suspension, it would be a track beast. Pobst drove it at willow and he said it felt like a NA 5L.. no lag at all. I'm sure JB and others will make it a rocket. In stock form I believe C&D did 0-60 in 4.3s, 1/4 in 12.9. For $44k.. notbadatall.jpg

I suggest driving the TL for another couple of years and put back a savings every payday. Let your savings build up for about 2 years, so you'll have a nice down payment. But, I'd still keep the TL forever.

I kinda want to buy a GLA45 AMG just for shits. Hot hatch..

I think the CLA45 and GLA45 AMG are also good buys. Sell before they're out of warranty though.

The CLA45 is a great buy but I can't get over the interior.

CLA45 AMG is totally going to be my money pit at some point, like out of warranty crap that I buy. Coupe 4 doors like what?

GLA45 AMG ain't bad but SUV are not for me. It's surprisingly light though, I expected 4000 pounds or some shit and it's a featherweight at ~3300lbs.


Edit: Just rip that screen off. Problem solved! :P

But seriously, I'm going to put money in a CLA 45 AMG later down the road. I just know it. I'll wait til it hits almost rock bottom on the depreciation curve and pamper it like an ugly 10 years old turbocharged 355hp baby. I expect a turbo rebuild somewhere in those 10 years, hopefully before I put my hand on it.

Yes, I know I can reply to more than one post all at once. But, I'm on the mobile version which won't let me do that. And, the full site on my phone is just a pain in the a**.

Polo, did you ever see the pic of Taco? I'm about to erase all those pics out of my photobucket. It's starting to make me feel a little creepy.

Nope, but now I did! Did not expect him to look like that. Although I did not expect him to look like anything but a cat.

Someone said a thing about E60 M5's.

Just remember, you'll get about 9 mpg everywhere you go.

And fuck the M6, they were designed by a blind person.

I like the CTS-V as well! I was playing around with one in the TL one night. Needless to say, he left me far behind.

EllisJuan (and his siblings) motors make a lot of good noises... my roommate has an E36 M3 that he swapped an LS1 into. It didn't have any exhaust past the front doors for a while. Thing goes like stink.
