You can do that with Porsche. I spend way too much time configuring cars online

 

Porsche has a "delete model designation" option as well.

 

I don't know if it's across the entire lineup, but I know BMW offers a badge delete option on some of its cars, at least.

 

Has this been posted before? And yay or nay...?

 

 

 

 

That BMW is sexy. I like the Volvo as well!

 

Give yourself a slap

 

 

I would drive that thing til the wheels came off.

 

 

 

That looks like so much fun!

I'm not usually a fan of the blacked-out look, but that thing is sinister.

 

That Outback is badassed!

 

Very nice, mattg!

 

Thanks guys. I do appreciate my wagon and have more plans to make her into an even better DD, kid hauler, snow machine.

 

 

 

 

^ I really like the new 3 series touring. But I spec'd one that way I'd want it (besides the i6TT + 6MT ) and it was nearly $60k. ON A 3 SERIES!

 

^ The days of "cheap" 3-Series are way gone, methinks.

 

And a 328i, no less. From what I've read, that turbo-4 is not good enough to justify $60k for a car with one.

 

Yeah, they've gotten pricey. I spec'd out a new 4-series convertible this morning for giggles and grins and it came in at near $70k. Crazy money.

Of course, the M6 Gran Coupe I really want is North of $120k.

 

Well, in SOME ways, I could see this as a positive in the long run as for awhile, the 3-Series was a dime-a-dozen car to be honest.


So, with the pricepoint much higher, it does separate out the herd a bit...and allow those who want an "affordable" BMW to go buy a 1 or 2-Series?

 

Perhaps. I know all the 2-door 1-series cars are becoming 2's in the U.S. (and worldwide). I don't know if there is a firm plan to have the new 1-series (4-doors) come to the U.S. or not. I thought I heard it was tentative, but I could be wrong.

 

Sure the fawk wished BMW made the M5 and M6 cars "affordable".

 

If everyone had an M5 or M6...I think there would be world peace. No one would be angry.

 

Indeed. During dinner last night, my 8-year old son blurted out - "Wouldn't it be awesome if M5s were only $5?! I bet Dad would have one again!"

 

That's cute...!



He knows how badly you miss your old M5, huh...?

 

Yep. Good kid. Looking out for his Dad.

Sunday night, I helped him assemble this wooden pull-back car kit from Lowes he needed to do for Cub Scouts. Instead of using the stickers that came with the car, he went out to the garage to look at my car and used crayons to "paint" his car to match mine, complete with hand-drawn roundels on the front and back. Made me proud.

 

M6GC. I want one with a 6MT. I think it's BMWs best current design.

Not when a spec'd 1 or 2 series is pushing $50k

They are though. Just wait for the first schmuck to run his warranty out and they'll be just as expensive as a loaded Accord

You're raising him well

 

DAMN! For not much more than $60k you can get a CTS-V wagon. More power, more fun, more character, and more room than a 3-series tourer. The 3 tourer is nice-looking, though. Just not $60-70k nice.

 

Yeehaw...!

 

Says alot about the Dad.


(well, 'cept the part where Pops doesn't know what a Porsche 911 GT1 is... )



I hope my son is like that when he's that age...

 

Thought this was neat...
