if you dont care about the topic, why are you here? im sorry you feel offended that im attacking YOUR "investment" by merely asking questions.

children, calm down. if you want to discuss as adults, please do. if you make personal insults that just shows your lack of ability think. enjoy your car bumpin wacka flacka flames or some other gay **** you listen to while pickin up the hoochies 'round tha corna


if you have been to a dragstrip, and are in this section, that means you care about performance.

Anyways, this discussion is stupid and pointless. Everybody knows factory turbo cars offer a lot more bang for your buck when it comes to small mods. Maybe you could go troll the guys on NASIOC, see how that works out for you.

I came very close to purchasing a 135i instead of my Z, because I did enjoy the car on the road. When I had an opportunity to drive it hard it was much less enjoyable though. They're great cars, and I don't think anyone here that has driven one would be quick to admit they're a fun car driven up to around 7/10 or so.

BTW, lostmarine, just because you got banned on bimmerforums doesn't mean you need to pick a new forum to troll.

Not really. Maybe one or two people do. I don't really care. I bought the Z for fun, not for max 60-130 times.

If you don't know what an AP1 is, you don't belong discussing cars with anyone.

Not really. As an example, many people here can accept the fact that the new 5.0 Mustang can outperform the Z without a problem. Several people here have already made or are planning to make the switch. From a bang for buck perspective, the 5.0 or Boss Mustang is probably better than the Z and the BMW. Just my

If you're paying somebody else for the install, you're doing it wrong if you're arguing bang for buck. Best option is buy a mustang for $33k, slap on a supercharger.

Yep, we also know cars like the WS6 are vastly superior to our own. And we've come to terms with the superiority of the doors from a Miata.

Not to mention most of us have to deal with the magical, and vastly superior Eagle models as well.

why do you even feel the need to tell someone that. Yeah that 49k or whatever the hell you spent on your BMW is sh!t cause this xyz car is better. Who cares. Do you like your car? I like mine. Its a plaything.

What you are so intent on doing is going to a kids birthday party and telling him the present he just opened isnt as good as whatever you have back at home. Its really a wasted of time.

and please stop ruining what was really a lovely discussion of tea.
