Wow, good for you! If I had every car I've owned, I'd be spending $35K a year just on storage. It's over 50. Yes, over 50 cars. The BW will be #64. I kid you not. I could have retired a long time ago had I not been so stupid. But what a ride!
I too had an SS, but that was 8 cars ago. It was really nice, but a little disappointing on power. That's also what the guy said who bought it from me.
That post from 668 was in reference to the G80 M3. I think those cars are a great compromise between street and track performance and comfort. Natch the big issue is that it is a compromise, which means something has to suffer somewhere. But I will add, despite the uncommunicative "wacky" steering and other common complaints, it really does shine on the track. But 99% of owners never make it there. And that's fine, no one needs to risk their $100K car and personal injury on a racetrack, but I always smile at the folks who complain about the squealing brakes, not really understanding why they make noise. Because race car. LOL
It's really interesting to me, the BimmerFan, how many former BMW owners are in this thread.
