They had quite a few M cars as well... I really like the M3/4/2 they take my fake sport to the next level... but to be completely honest I am not sure if the upcharge is worth it.

:notbad: review. Gberg and I might not quite be ready for no holds barred GoRf review yet Image

Sounds like the 335 is a formidable vehicle that does most things very well in a subtle way that's most appreciated when it's carefully compared to other vehicles. It would probably be more exciting if it was less refined.

Other than the wood ( :disgust: ) I like the red interior in a white car and I like the :ramz: . It's not what I would choose though, I don't think I'll ever get a white car again.

The STI color is fucking :jizz: :doe: . I love that.

335 with squared wheels and a tune gets you mostly there I would think.

I just really didn't like the combo on this particular car. A black car with red interior is nice... but this particular car didn't look right.

Agree. I'm also over the black rams fad.

I know in 5 years you will definitely find that car driven by a black or middle eastern bro living in 700-800 sq ft apartments built in 1930's.

Yes this isn't my first time I said it :lolol:

Yeah a little piecemealed but still nice. Heated sport seats, good headlights, shift paddles, HK sound. Pretty decent. Just use phone for maps it's more up to date anyway.

The 335 comes with the updated headlights and seats standard. I think that’s literally the 0 option spec minus the Hk stereo.

I actually prefer the maps in my bmw, instantly recalculates, real time traffic and obstacle avoidance. And it pops up on my hud so I never have to fidget with the damn phone

my moms 535i did the same thing as well, probably the best navigation we ever used in a car. Honda/Acura on the other hand, they are great for information, but not so much on everything else.

Max I'm pretty sure that car had an aftermarket short throw shifter installed. I didn't notice any gear whine on my car coming in today. You might hear the gearbox a bit if you're pegging it under 2k RPM, but even then it's faint at best.

You getting one now? :impressive:

The epic low depreciation seems to align well with your values. I'd rather a :manuel: German Camry :doe:

I kind of agree with this for Max, but it's really up to him. The STI has lower depreciation and a better sounding engine. Possibly more grip in turns when driving hard. The Fakesport seems to have a better power band, far better interior, better sound system, fewer rattles, better AC system, better MPG, lower insurance. I think it would get old pretty quick for our resident badgewhore. Even though the STI doesn't depreciate much, it's still an expensive ass car between insurance, fuel (esp on the highway, you'll be lucky to get 22 MPG at 80 MPH), maintenance (3,750 mile oil changes), tires, etc.

For me, I like the old school approach to the STI and how it's rough around the edges far more than the added comfort of the BMW. Not everyone will appreciate that day in day out.

I only get gear whine under engine braking in second, none of the higher gears. Can't say I ever downshift to 1st slowing to an intersection. OEM short shifter is :fuckyeah:, btw.
