[user not found]'s pessimistic optimism

[Gberg2119]

The new 3 is a vast improvement over the old one.

Probably 450hp+ with Hamburger tuner

Why not just M3 then?

[Gberg2119]

And the new 3 still has up front.

Price? Don't what what the difference will be.

[Gberg2119]

Minimal interest

CPO S6?

[Gberg2119]

CPO S6?

Sell me on this. What's the advantage of this over a new s4 or S5?

S6 and S7 do have V8's with 450ish HP I think? Athough the cars themselves aren't brand new like the A4/5.

I think they also have DCT's over the regular autos in the S4/5. Could be a positive or negative depending on what you like.

Honestly the M340i will probably be verygood. These wheels are sweet.

As it should be . Unfortunately the “tech” onslaught continues. I am not a huge fan of the digidash

This looks great. I like the new 3 series a lot.

[Huckleberry]

There is neither for that car. Just forum bros circle jerking.

This. The only people that want them and would spend that money don't actually have the money.

Especially when $64K can get you a brand new something with a supercharged V8. It may not be a wagon at that point, but it also won't have 35K on the clock.

It's also spent 160 days on Car Gurus and counting. So, it looks like everybody shares that same opinion.

Nein.

The only people that want them are not only people that don't have the money, but also people that somehow have money they want to burn.

My dad spent $60k on a 2013 with 25k miles on it two years ago. It could have been $80k and he still would have paid it. He just wanted a 550hp wagon. Every single event he takes it to, another old offers cash to buy it. They all view it as "collectible" and foam at the mouth of the thought of it rolling through Barrett Jackson in 2040 and fetching a half a million or whatever.

Any idea what kind of offers those olds are throwing your dads way?

No. It usually goes like this:

Old: "Hey, nice car! Is it..." (looks in window and sees ) "ZOMG A STICK"
Dad: "Heh, of course"
Old: "You selling? I'll pay cash. I love these things"
Dad: "Not for sale."
Old: "Well here's my card, call me if you want to sell. I'll pay good money"
Dad:

What's funny about these cars is how cramped the driver's seat is. I had to move the car yesterday to get my on the lift to do the oil change, and it's remarkable how high the lowest setting on the seat is. It's really not comfortable to drive if you're taller than say 6'2". I don't think I'd buy one.

Your dad should throw out some stupid number like $120k when someone asks to buy it for cash.

Sadly the CTS in general, and especially the wagon, is packaged poorly like so many modern cars... The wagon has less space than a mk7 Golf IIRC - not the sportwagen, the regular hatch.

He has all the money he could want...it's not about the money to him he just loves the car.

Yea...it's a weird one. Super cramped inside for such a large car.

And it is fucking awesome to see him enjoy that cashola. Who wouldn't love a 550hp wagon?

Right. If money is irrelevant, than you buy and enjoy what you like.

As it should be . Unfortunately the “tech” onslaught continues. I am not a huge fan of the digidash

I hate the digi shit

Plus no



Mine is not enthusiast oriented enough... this version takes it even further from that. Kamry spec.

You need to drive an M. The 335i was quite above a 328/330 the M is even more apart from the 335i than it was from the 330.

I have no doubts that they’re great.

In all reality even the 328 fake sport is pretty good. It’s just not exciting enough for my tastes.

[D Griff]

To that point I feel like an M340i would be a pretty big let down after [user not found]’s Alfa.

[max225]

It would be, the 335 is a huge let down compared to my M3. And the 340i is barely any different from a 335

[max225]

As the owner of the car I can just say you are both incorrect. Different isn't bad.

I believe the word used was let down not different. Read motherfucker

[troyguitar]

Haha and I'm saying I won't be let down.

The Alfa is amazingggggg and I hope it's fixed but I'm not the kind of guy that always needs "better" to be happy.

There is a large portion that the Alfa leaves on the table 360 days a year that an S4/5 or M340 might only 200 days a year. Slow car fast etc.

You're not gonna be happy unless you're going mach 2 with your hair on fire and you know it.
