In addition to my Z4MC, I have an E92 M3, an E46 330i ZHP Wagon, and a tuned E70 X5 Diesel. All cars are cool in their own way. The X5D is the only car thats automatic.

The X3 M is amazingly capable, but in my opinion the extra performance over a X3 M40i isn't worth the trade off in how rough the ride is. I would get a X3 M40i and a tune, then take the savings and get a track day Miata or E36.

My father in law thinks so as well and refuses to get rid of it despite all my efforts 🤣. He'll get a chuckle when I show him your comment hah.

The other fun car is a 1999 Miata I built in my garage this past year to save the aging Z4MC from additional track miles. Upgraded cooling, clutch, full race suspension, poly bushings, 4-pt roll bar, recaros, etc. Feels fast, is slow. +1 for the Miata club

Throw some boost on your Miata and it'll change to feels really fast, is fast. And it really comes down to how you're willing to push your car. At my last track day I was keeping a good balance with a F80 M3. He had more speed on the straights and fast sweepers, but my Miata was carrying more speed through the tighter corners. We were both lapping the Hellcat that showed up. We ended up running similar lap times.

For those days when I don't want to or just can't put the top down, and perhaps I need something smoother and quieter for the highway, I have a 2015 Lexus RC350, "infrared" on the outside and tan leather on the inside.

Eventually, it'll be replaced by something more fun, probably an M235, when my budget allows. As far as my DIY ability: I will try to do anything I can on my own. Only if it's too risky or complex will I take it to my local shop. Can you expand on it being a "key factor in my decision"? Last edited by zukunftvier; 09-18-2021 at 11:25 PM.. |

+1 for E90 328 over 335 in terms of reliability and cost of ownership. Driving experience is nearly identical, the only real difference being 70HP. Your wallet will thank you.
