Should have bought some republica with the correct size.

I thought F10 M5 only had wider front fender. The rear is wider too? Could not tell in person.

He is SUPER happy! All my research on these things told me hardly anything ever breaks on them. It handles like a go-cart, with the suspension to match . This car is in great shape and it fits him nicely.

It really does fit him nicely.
Help him out and remove that lower grill insert.
Love that as a first car...not too powerful, fun, handles well...
He looks SO happy.

If I'm a betting man, I'd say 5MT...the only choice.

It's an auto. With some of his health conditions, it's just a better solution for him right now.

I was trying to figure out if that was aftermarket or not. I don't know Miatas well...yet.

Absolutely perfect first car for him! Extremely fun to drive, but not enough horsepower to get himself in trouble, and super reliable. Awesome!

Nobody remembers the guy that doesn't blow up his car with a tune, that's for certain.

Yeah, the E93 has been running a tune from ESS since 50k miles and it's at 174k, now...original turbos, even.

But, repairing an S63 is orders of magnitude more expensive than an N54.

Don't try to talk me into anything just to make your prophecy come true, dammit!
