Well fellas, I'm back in the euro game. I finally pulled the trigger on a new ride.
Picked this up on Sunday:
E82 135i with sport package (M steering wheel / shift knob / sport seats / shadow line exterior trim), 22,700 on the odo. Had to drive to Barrington IL to get it.
Already has the following mods:
Dinan S2 upgrade (should be around 380 hp, 415 tq)
AST 5100 coilovers, properly corner weighted
Hotchkis 32mm front sway bar
Turner end links
Vorshlag top / camber plates
Hawk track pads
Brand new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires +1 size
Should be a fun little car. Had to finance for 5.5 years, though.
I decided the two extra years was worth it, over a 2004 S2000 with the same monthly payment, but 3x the milage.
She goes like a raped ape. Fastest car I've ever sat in.
Let me know when the next cruise / gtg is, now that I can participate...
