Doubt these will get much love on here but what does everyone think of these kinds of trucks? I'm thinking of making one like this to have as a second car and have some fun with.

So much magazine racing from so many people who have clearly never "driven" a car or even turned a wrench.

I sold the Porsche in 2007. Since then, the Harley has been my only transport. I'm getting too old to be cold...I need an R8

If you are thinking of buying a BMW, you would be wise to join the BMW club. You'll save on your purchase

That said, I drive an Audi A3 now

2010 BMW 328i Sedan

24-month | 15k miles | residual 65% | .00245 base money factor
36-month | 15k miles | residual 59% | .00245 base money factor

Add 1% to residuals if you are doing 12k miles or add 2% if you are doing 10k miles a year lease.
Some manufacturers allow dealers to charge you a slightly higher money factor and keep the difference as extra profit. I think BMW allows this but most dealers don't do it but you should still ask what is the money factor they are charging you.

As you can see the December money factor is not that great but the residual is OK and there is $1500 Holiday Finance/Lease credit directly from BMW on 328i ($2500 on 335i). I would shoot for at least $500 under invoice as your negotiated selling price after the Holiday credit. $1500 under invoice after credit is not out of the question, depending on the dealer and options.

Here is a good Lease calculator if you haven't discovered it yet: http://www.leaseguide.com/calc.htm

I love sport trucks but haven't had one for years. In my opinion ATVs are more fun strictly from the sport side of things, unless you live in a rainy climate

That would be kind of cool. I've learned one thing in life, If it makes you happy, who cares what others think.

Any idea how much it would cost to create one?

Not much at all. The one in that link is kind of a fake pre-runner. It just has wheels and fenders. It was prolly 3k or so to do what they did.

Finally bit the bullet, and got a CPO 2007 BMW 328i....absolutely loving it...can't imagine what the M3 would be like (or even the 335 for that matter)!!
