Come out to an autoX event with us. Bring your CL-S lets see if you have truly "mastered" FWD.

I dont think it looks dated at all if you paint your moldings.

A friend has the exact same car but with m contours. The painted strips make a huge difference.

just be prepared for the difference between a car from '95 and an '01 .... much like people, the older cars get the more problems they have... i personally wouldnt go from a newer to an older car... good luck though!

Just get the M3, so you can stop making threads about it
If you dont get the M3 then im calling BS on the whole story.

Even if he could go, we all know whats gona happen, first turn he's gonna plow through the cones with his "mastery". Such a heavy car and front-wheel drive are not the best combo for the autocross.

This is CSCC, so I believe he can do it. Bring your pops with you. As long as you dont try and be an idiot and drift or purposely take out cones, then I think they'll let you. Look at the website andfind out.
The less tread you have in autoX the better = more grip.
I just want to see the mastering FWD claim. I will most likely laugh...a lot. Or perhaps be proven wrong...

if you cant find it there then look at contacts and ask one of them, there should be numbers listed.
Im not surprised you've made us sick of looking at cars with you too.

What im saying if you set you tires up right at the beginning of the day, overinflate a little bit, then 40% tread left aint bad.

Agreed with 40% tread is fine.
I thought you meant the less tire tred the better..NOPE
Anyways it doesnt matter. This guy has never gone, tire tread is not going to affect him. He is going to "learn"
You cant master anything on the streets..
And honestly I dont like auto-x. Too small, to tight for real fun. Its not bad though..
Road racing is MUCH BETTER and ALOT more fun.

Never race anything that you can't afford to push off a cliff

My question is, you have been shopping for a M3 for MONTHS now. You are just NOW thinking about the maintance costs? Give it a rest, you wont buy the M3, stop acting as if you might.

An M3 > CL any day of the week.
Just get it, stop fucking around. If I had a chance to get my "dream car" I would in a heartbeat.
