I got my face within a few feet of the exaust pipes on this bad boy the other day. Nothing like 10,000hp hitting you right in the mug.

Here is the car we found for Bushboy. It runs like a scared rabbit. Took it on a 160 mile shakedown run last night with me in the maser running wingman. Ran it up to 125mph with no noted problems. Jr. is driving up the north shore of lake Superior today. That is a great drive.

Great find!
After being the guy that bought a BMW for his kid, all I can say is I hope it works out better for you than it did for us.
He paid for it.
I would like to hope that makes a big difference...........
Upon viewing that M3 on a real screen do I see that it's been lowered?
Has it been ruined?
Shouldn't it?? If his son paid for it, it's not really an overindulgence.Quote:

I'm looking to get into one of these in the next 6 months. Can't afford an X5 so this will have to do.
X3 i35 w/M Sport package
I'll go CPO w/20-35k miles on it

It's nobody's f**king business what kind of car a parent buys for his/her kid. If someone has the money, he/she can spend it how he/she likes. Of course, accidents will happen and a kid will be as responsible, or irresponsible as he/she was brought up. I say, when a child gets a license, buy the safest car that you can afford. I don't car whether it is a Volvo 240DL, or a M-B ML 350 or somewhere in between. However, I do question buying a 16 year old a Ferrari. That is stupid on so many levels.
Not sure if that pic works above

Good stuff man. We've owned 4 X5's and just got rid of our most recent; a 2012 X5 3.5i. We'd get X3s all the time as loaners and they've made some really nice improvements on the model.Quote:

Fun, tight, suvs. Just make sure you do your due diligence.
Deleted... No need for me to cunt up a stoke thread.
Might wanna scan the job market a little better.Quote:

I'd say most people on this forum buy in the 20-30k range, which is what that car cost.
Furthermore, 330hp is a good amount of horsepower, but it's not a Hellcat either.
Good choice Bushman/Bushboy. That's the last real M3. Car will hold its value.
I would have bought a 335i and boosted it, but to each their own.
No kidding...Quote:

Sweet car for Bushboy.... and good luck! I bought my own cars and still destroyed every one... Luckily, I got talked out of the big one... When I landed my second big project (19 y/o) I moved out to NJ and nearly bought a used baby blue/navy blue 993 C4... That would have been bad. Ended up just killing an Acura Vigor, a Mazda Miata, and an Acura Integra. Moved back to the city after that and didn't own another car for a decade.
This, sometimes I just need to keep my mouth shut. I am getting better about that, but old dogs learn new stuff slowly. I hope the kid enjoys it.Quote:
