I hate it when non-car people comment on cars so I'm hoping you have a lot of experience with automobiles, and I'm not talking about you know all the specs and memorize all the Car and Driver reviews. I'm talking REAL experience.

They're giving these things away for practically nothing since nobody wants them.

Too bad bmw has gone down the *******.

You can lease them brand new for around 7 a month which is preposterous.

Each dealer in socal has about 35 on the lot, this never happened with any other Ms because they're weren't watered down pigs designed for the masses.

For example? The BMW I own has been as mechanically reliable (or more) than the Hondas I have owned. Other than some annoying trim issues always fixed under warranty, no issues.

Only thing I can complain about are the run flat tires. I had to replace mine at 18,000 miles, and wasn't thrilled. Other than that, no problems, not even burned out light bulbs.

What do U think about the black wheels? May just be a waste of money, but they do look nice with the alpine white.

I have to replace my Michelin Pilot PS2s in the rear every 10K at $350/per. Car rule #1: people that want a sport-oriented car should be prepared to go through tires quickly.

Perhaps it's different driving styles, but I can get almost 30K miles out of my PS2s on my BMW, and that includes driving schools. 20K for max performance summer tires is pretty good.

Attached is a pre P43 pic, they should be here in a week in textured blk, just like the pic. I came from a Lotus Exige S which weighed about 2k lbs, but I love this car in the MT6 You just need to make a few quick mods to the clutch to make it really great. The sound at 8k rpm is really something. The more I drive it the more I like it. ACS springs, PSCs, then track is next...

Same here, but I drive fairly conservatively.
