Well...the S2000 needed more doors, more driven wheels, and a lot more torque...

Not much will top the Voodoo for sound, but that is one sharp BMW.

May as well enable the auto-high beams, and cut that left stalk off the steering column. You won't be needing it.
Probably hurts resale value having functional blinkers

Same in TX, but it's very loosely enforced. More for a PC reason to initiate a stop.
I got stopped once for it in my TL, never had a problem in my F150 or C300

Then buy one! Not too expensive and easy to live with!

I'll also admit the new grille has grown on me too, but only in M3 form. The M4 just looks awkward in proportions to me for some reason. I wouldn't pay MSRP for it though, will wait for them to depreciate more and then look into it. Not a ton of them on the used market yet.

Latest M2 looks terrible. I've seen a handful in person too and they don't look any better there.

It's a great car to drive, a lot better than the Shelby for general around town driving. Much more comfortable to sit in too. I'm sure the Shelby would have been WAY faster at the track but...I don't really care about that as much. Will definitely miss the voodoo's sweet song though.

My comment was related to the pricing not that I wouldn't get them lol. I do want to get the reflectors off but not for $250.

Top of my list is still a Cayman S or T.

If the Cayman/Boxster had a back seat I would have bought one already. M2 just has a ton more practicality for carting the kiddo around.

There's this - https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-5...f87-m2/?pdk=AQ

Of course, Turner is just getting them from IND, too, and you don't get the rear waffle ones....

Looks great! Love the seats and the stitching. At least the black plate blends in well. It has 400 ponies, right? That's awesome for a car that size and weight. Enjoy!

Thanks! I think the M2 CS is probably the last great one but that car was WAY WAY WAY WAY too expensive.

Yep, the competition models have the S55 from the M3/M4 so I think like 415hp in a small car. It's a lot of fun, very easy to break the rear away.

Yeah, but that's BMW HP, so much superior to Honda HP. So it's probably like 600 WHP

HP is only part of the story, it's the drive that matters.
The M2 is gorgeous.
My gf had an X6 40i or whatever...damn thing MOVED and that apparently wasn't even the fast one.
She traded on a mini and is super happy but I'm definitely intrigued by the brand.

BMWs are about balance, every one I have driven has been fun, even not "sporty" ones.

Some day I hope to have another Tii & an M2!

1M. It looks pinched in photos but I love the dimensions and from what everyone says, it's the spiritual successor to the E30 M3.

That [135i] looks bad, but is at least reversible.
The hood stripes aren't bad.
No interior photos, and it's an auto

The E30, no chance I'd drop nearly $40k on that.

The B58 is a hell of an engine. In many ways it's better than the V8's...especially for reliability.

For a basically new 1M with no miles on it, probably close but I think the normal ones are in the 50-60k range.

My neighbor had the M2, and at the same time his son had a 135. I get it’s not the M, but the proportions were a lot better on the 2. The headlights on the 1 were too big and googly looking and front bumper protruded. The 2 series also had a nicer rear puller lane where it meets with the trunk.

I like the 1M because it’s rare. But a PT cruiser GT with a manual is rare too, doesn’t mean it’s pretty or that I want one


Quick Reply: Well...the S2000 needed more doors, more driven wheels, and a lot more torque...
