Looking at possible future alternatives to Mustangs since not crazy about the S650 yet, and wanted to see if anybody on here has any experience with the BMW 230i or 240i. researching them is mostly positive reviews, looks pretty cool i think. even the 4 cylinder 230i looks like it is quick and...
you can go with 265/40 19 in the front on the 19x9 wheel, looks better than the 255/40 19 factory size, and michelin pilot sport all season 4 is good looking tire if want more tread wear , got mine from tire rack
yeah the engine would take adjusting to, how it sounds and everything and it is quite a bit smaller car than mustang also, testers should do like them on reviews though.
Yeah i have also watched a few reviews on the GR86 and BRZ and M2/240i, reviews are all pretty good on them, have you ever driven a GR86? i never have but if one shows up around my area i might test drive one. the engine on them kinda worries me though, not a lot of power and that boxer design...
Yeah i did some youtube watching on the M240i and the M2 , you think the 240i with the MSport package is better deal than M2? and 2 wheel drive over the all wheel drive for the 240i ? I have just started researching them so still lots to learn, reviews are all pretty good on the new ones though.
Anyone had experience with the BMW M2 ? did a little research online and it looks pretty nice, will have to watch a few youtube videos on it tonight. & is M2 worth the extra money over the 240i ? about $10k more isn't it . did notice it had similar screens to the S650 though.
Thanks for some good ideas, have a few years to see if anything interesting comes out new and think it over, i do hope that chevy brings the camaro back just for an option and to have some competition for the mustang so mustangs keep getting better too.
Wanted to see what others thought of future cars to buy instead of S650. I plan on trading probably next for a 2026 model as I have a 2023 GT now and usually trade every 3 yrs when warranty is about up. Still not liking the S650 GT that much, maybe I will more as time goes on or maybe Ford...
yeah not sure if like the looks of the S650 as much yet, will be able to tell more when see one in person. the front does not look as sporty or sleek as the S550 does in photos or videos. and not sure why they went to a manual seat on the base GT now, my base S550 GT has power seats. cutting...
one thing i noticed between the 20 GT i had compared to the 23 GT is panels by rear bumper fit flush on the 23 as the 20 did not and doors on 23 shut more solid sounding also. they probably do adjust things year to year on production line and get more practiced building them
Back in March when ordering opened up, i placed an order for a 24 GT, then later in May i read about all the issues Ford was having building the S650's so when ahead and bought a 23 GT off the lot, one of the last they had left. Got an email from Ford saying the 24 i had ordered was built...
I had the same thoughts when i got my first S550, but go with the 150, and recheck the torque after driving it first time after putting on the wheels. can get a nice torque wrench at harbor freight for a good price too. Icon brand it is called .
I went ahead and bought the 19x9 performance pack 1 wheels with 245/45 Michelin X-Ice Snow, the tire rack guy said they did not have a lot of the PP1 wheels left so went ahead and got them now, tire rack does not offer the Nokian winter tires, so went with Michelins over the blizzaks this time...
yeah 245/45 19 says maximum of 9 inch wide wheel, from what tire rack says, i would order all 19x9 's if i do decide to get them. the 255/40 19 would fit the 9.5 inch rears
tire rack does offer more choices in 245/45 19, how would the michelin x-ice snow compare to bridgestone blizzak ws90 or the vredestein wintrac pro? i have had the blizzaks before and liked them but not the others.
Started searching tire rack again for winter wheel options, (planning ahead) and comparing prices i think i will go with another set of 19x9 ford performance pack wheels like i have now on summer setup. they only cost like $50 or so more dollars than enkei's would and not whole lot more than...
also i don't think putting in that drift brake is a smart move by ford, going to probably see quite a few stories about people wrecking trying to use that. probably have lawsuits too. or people trying to play with those screens while driving and wrecking.
