Back 89 my dad bought a tbird sc 5spd With the bolt ons you could do to them. I raced everyone until someone told my dad. Never drove the car again. Fun fun fun until daddy took the tbird away.

they are called the super car killer for a reason.... I was behind one that was tuned and at 170 mph she made me look like i was standing still... btw I had an 2019 GT PP1 on E85 with intake and exhaust and no limiters....

I wish I had never read this thread... Test drove a BMW just to see if the hype was real. They're definitely polarizing cars, but damn they're quick off the line. Took me all of 10mins to realize I was leaving with a German designed car.

Love the V8 and hope to return to mustangs if Ford would consider modernizing the platform or even better creating a "diet" version with a more respectable weight.

I have owned 2 E46 M3s, 2 E92 M3s and now my G87 M2. I try to make my S550 work for me but I ended back into anothe BMW M car.

That sums it up perfectly. I tried like crazy to make mine into what I wanted. I love the sound, the V8 and the heritage. Owned multiple over the years and grew up in fox bodies. But the M series cars are on an entirely different level.

It better be. It costs almost double what your car does. Enjoy it. They are beautiful and definitely have the power and prestige.

The only downside is BMW maintenance repair and parts cost and losing the V8 and V8 sound. Do yourself and everyone around you a favor and keep it quiet. Don’t think for a moment that it sounds good. It doesn’t. Every other metric, fair game.

Other than that, it’s a fantastic choice and a beautiful car, and like you implied, more refined in almost every aspect as it should be. Enjoy it!!

But but but, pops N' bangs Yo!.

Every time I hear one of these cars popping and crackling going down the road, it makes my heart hurt for Karl Rapp and Gustav Otto. They would be so disappointed to know that their brilliant machines have become the IKEA of hot-rodding. Somehow, people figured out how to rice a German car to level 10.

I'm a BMW guy, but I love my Mustangs.

First, any M car, when new, is going cost far more than a GT. You can't compare a GT and a M car for that reason alone. A car that cost $20k to $50k more, depending, damn well better be faster and handle better.

Second, WGAF. Nobody is pushing these cars on back roads, and especially city roads, hard enough for it to even matter.

Third, straight line speed on a highway is also a gigantic WGAF.

Fourth, stock M cars generally sound terrible compared to American muscle. The only M car that sounded great from the factory was the e46 m3 csl, and that was noise due to the carbon fiber intake, and by the way, the US didn't get that version (although you can buy aftermarket, retune an make your own CSL). You have to push an e9x M car to 9/10ths the limit to enjoy it and the exhaust from the factory was far to tame. Ridiculously so.

Fifth, Mustangs are about the visceral, not the elegant.

I love my BMWs. I love my Mustangs. Each have fuck ton of flaws.

The 1st 4 yrs. all maintenance is free with BMW.

That trend can't die soon enough. I can't understand how anyone thinks that's desirable.
