Yes i still check out other cars (mostly euros) the 3 series, passats, thinking of the mazda 6, the U.S. mondeo (haha), the prototype ford 500, is300, a4. My requirement: 4 doors, mtx. alot of cars gets eliminated cuz of this. there isn't another car on the market (msrp) that will give me the 4 door mtx euro rooted 2.5l 200hp sleeper w/ smooth lines. to me this is an amazing starting point to tune a car (although a 500 dollar chip, exhaust and intake for a 1.8t will smoke us). i can use the extra 10000 bucks i saved (more actually since i bought used) vs a euro and do the exhaust, intake, 3l, and turbo kit and smoke the hell out of these other cars while driving a sleeper. yes they can drop 10000 to tune their car but the ratio price wise stays the same. I'm looking forward to tuning my car and having people wonder what the hell it is. come on, with any luck and proper tuning and install of 3l and turbo(hopefully) along w/ other "standard" mods, i'm looking for 350-370hp at the crank. altima, maxima can u say bye, bye and your ugly.
make the new m3 a sedan and i'll consider it. otherwise, s4 is the way to go.
What i'm saying is i love my car and look forward to future meets and making it to springzing and nationals at least once in the upcoming years.
