I feel you on the M2, Eric. I'm thinking a lot about picking up an M2 Comp despite how awful the S55 engine sounds. I'd need to sell off most of the cars to make that happen though.

factory turbo cars- first off, you can throw a 91-octane tune on them right away, and it's a lot easier to sneak a similar-looking turbo past the smog guy than it is to get an S5* or V8 swap through the ref.
Yep. I would go new turbo car. Swaps are fun, but the pain in the ass doesn't end once you are through the ref.

Still, one of you guys should buy my 6MT 135i Alpine White Cabriolet with all options (Nav, Bluetooth, Cold Weather, Comfort Access, HiFi Audio, etc.) with 59,800 Miles on it. $13,000 is what I was offered by a dealer. I'd let it go to an enthusiast for that trade in price.
8,000 Miles on Turbos, 2,000 Miles on Water Pump, 200 Miles on HPFP, 3,000 miles on Serpentine Belt and Power Steering Pump
Front Main Seal Replaced 3,000 miles ago.

i am off the market, though. eric can be happy, i'm keeping the paid-for baur.

enrolled in an infosec curriculum. very much looking forward to having a few months off from stress and learning to be a hacker.
