ThrottleHouse gets there first
Somebody finally figured out just how good the Z4MC really is.

It's like they just discovered the E85/E86 cars.

What did you think about Thomas' opinion on the E86M hydraulic vs. the E85 electric steering comment? When he said it, I immediately though of you. LOL.

The hydraulic steering in the M is great, and has a lot more feel than the non-M, but as hydraulic racks go it's only okay. And I never minded the electric rack in my 3.0si all that much because of how I drove the car. Back to Thomas and James. I skip through some of their boyish silliness but in general I really like their take on cars. Good folks. They can borrow my targa whenever they like. |

Honestly, I ended up in my E86 because of the C7. When it came out, I was highly interested in it but couldn't get over putting miles on it with my previous 165-mile daily commute (just a few times a week). I then looked at an '08 Cayman, but the IMS was a concern, even with the easy fix that came up for it. I then thought, heck, an N52 E86 would fit the bill nicely. Stone reliable and eats miles like an E46 does. Glad I went with it.
