have you ever considered a 996 911 turbo? they are fetching for the same amount of money...

Yeah, I sat in a gunmetal gray one at the same dealership, but the maintenance on P cars is 10X more of a nightmare than the Bimmers

I also wanted a coupe with a real back seat

Just to be fair, here are the pics of my other option...

Iceberg....I think you've got your answer LOL. Only one problem....I LOVE those wheels....but ROAD RASH!!!! You'd need to have those wheels refinished. That's not too expensive though. I'm glad cvt agrees with me. The E92's look awesome in white. Damn, now I want one. LOL. I hate to admit that as much as I've bashed Bimmers in the past, I secretly want one. HA HA.

Thanks a lot Knoxville. Those aren't the rims on my car, lol. I was just showing you the difference in design between the 18's and the 19's. If they gave me the 19's that's what they would look like (minus the curb rash

)

I feel you on that as well, I've secretly wanted a Bimmer ever since the new M concept was out. If I wasn't getting a good deal, TRUST ME I'd be keeping the G and doing some ungodly things to her.

White S5 hands down

See that's the problem, the S5 looks like a beast, but the M3 is a beast. If I could transplant the S5 interior into the M3 then I'd be in heaven!

WhosUrBuddiee · 10-06-2009, 09:33 PM

But you can always add a turbo to the S5.

It looks sexier and has a much nicer interior

What, you can?? How? Is there one out for it yet? Can the same thing be done to the M3?

wakeboardr116 · 10-06-2009, 09:53 PM

Am i the only one who things the S5 just looks boring and actually kinda ugly?

You can always drop a chip in the M3 (I think)....then

I think it's "okay". It doesn't look good in white IMO. I LOVE it in black. But I think the G37 is just as sexy.

You know what, the G37's shape and lines ARE sexier than the S5's. I'm not looking for lightning speed, but it doesn't take much to get the M3's power and torque up at all. I just saw a white S5 at my gym and the led's in the front were out on one side. It also didn't do as much for me as I thought it would. I think I'll take the M3.

wakeboardr116 · 10-06-2009, 10:02 PM

LEDs already out after what, less than a year? LED's are supposed to last longer than most cars. That sounds like a good idea to stay away.

Yeah man, Audi needs to step up their reliability game. I mean BMW does too, but I haven't seen SERIOUS problems with the M3 at all other than a few glitches in the DCT.

I'm really gonna miss my G and I'm still finding it VERY difficult to part with her.

G37Sam · 10-06-2009, 10:25 PM

M3 is a beast with lame interior, S5 is trying to be a beast she isn't

Keep your G and get her boosted!
