but cabin filter?

you mean reduces noise etc?

I actually test drive 2 today, 1 base 6MT and 1 base Auto.
They didn't have a Touring Sport (which is what I want), and they weren't allowing test drives on the 40th.

Love the clutch and gearbox, but I remember now why I got an auto in my 335i and sold my Boxster last year... I couldn't do this every day... haha

So auto for me.

and that one for 25k, if he was in LA, it'd have already been mine
Too bad it's not

I was extremely SHOCKED at how comfortable the ride quality was.
and noise wasn't bad either

I mean, my BMW stock vs the Z, the BMW is smoother, but I remember when I had my coilovers... thing was rough as hell.
Z was very smooth.

The dealer (best test drive ever tbh) took me to the canyons near by.

I wasn't going to fast, maybe about 60 or so during some of the turn, and it was pretty stable... but I could sense the back end wanting to really throw itself out...

Would this be fixed with the sport mode and the LSD?
Cause.. it's not that it didn't handle well.. the back end just seemed too loose tbh...
I have yet to drive a sport mode though...
