If I can get solid buyers for Wheels/SC kit then I will part out sooner than later. Those are the two big ticket items. |
Hey Raul, how much WHP did you make on HP logic's dyno? I know theirs reads very low for a mustang dyno.

Would you be willing to sell just the front tires? How much tread is left? |
I guess I could. Tires have full life left, I've driven a few thousand miles, but almost entirely just putting around. No trackdays on them...yet.
|
how much for the volks?
|
3K with LE center caps and lugnuts.

damn i can't get enough of your car. love everything about it :tup: although i think the rear would look more complete with the sunline/shine add-ons. just my :twocents:
|
^ Agree. I cant ever get over how expensive they are though.
|
New Developments for anyone who cares or is interested in buying my parts. I'm definitely parting the car out, most likely going to happen within the next few weeks. I'm actually just waiting to get back from my business trip.
I have several people who have PM'ed me about the SC and the Wheels. I would like to get solid deals on those asap. For those who want the SC, I will need your stock fuel pump holding assembly and I will give you mine which is already modded to accept the bigger pump. $4800 shipped OBO. People for the VOLKS, I need Stock Wheels and tires, Will take 1200 off the price if you give me stock sport rays w/ tires. $3700 shipped OBO without trade. If anyone wants to buy anything else ahead of time, PM me and we'll talk about a deposit. People who called Dibs before, get dibs. |
Suspension and SC are pending. Anyone for the wheels/tires?
|
I thin I'm switching over to a 2012 M3, what does everyone think about that car?
|
Bucking the trend for a 5.0, RCZ?
|
Yeah man, no offense to anyone, but the 5.0 just doesn't do it for me. Granted I have not driven it. I am getting a pretty good deal for the M3..
Pretty funny that this article just came out too: http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/26/s...-infiniti-g37/ Second paragraph made me facepalm about my choice for z replacement haha. |

Would you go with a 6MT? |

So when you do it again in the M3, you can compare them side by side...and embarrass yourself :rofl2: |
Quote:
My only issue with the M3 is it has been getting heavier a lot, but I still think it is a solid car. Do not worry about the article, you can just get a few bolt ons with the M3 and be fine or go all out if you want: Active Autowerke | Blog Active Autowerke & Martino Auto Concepts E92 M3 Builds… The Details.. : http://www.activeautowerke.com/blog/...03f16c33_b.jpg |
I've beet to active many times and met everyone there...It's like 20 mins away from me. I've seen their cars/race cars and its all pretty impressive, but its SO expensive.
I am going with the DCT. I would like to live with the dual clutch at least once in my life. I think I'm going to love it. I love driving simulators with paddles. As far as new things, there are a few things, but nothing CRAZY. The packages are completely different than from what they currently have on the BMW website. Now there are less packages that include a lot more options...its pretty nice, granted a little pricey. Its a car you can track and then drive to the grocery store on your way home, which is exactly what I want. So it doesn't go as fast...I can live with that since there are many other things about it that I like. Its a daily driver and it will be way more livable and practical than the Z. Phelan there's a N/A M3 out there running 11.9! So it can be made quick without going overboard! I'm definitely gonna keep it relatively stock except for maybe exhaust and little quick bolt on things. Maybe wheels! Also...I'm doing european delivery...gonna drive it through all those passes in the alps and into Italy...maybe to the 'ring, etc. Its an awesome program and takes 4200 off the price of the car...plus I need a vacation! |
^ i demand pictures of the car and your travels :tup:

CTS-V ...this is what I suggested to myself so I sold my Z last week...

First Jnaut, then RCZ, so many people have been selling their Z's lately that it's getting kind is sad :(
Jnaut, great choice on the cts-v, and in manual kudos :tup: RCZ, don't you think you'll be bored driving an auto M3? You've had an STI and 370Z (both manual) why stop now? |
DCTs have a lot going for them. Even our Z's true automatic 7AT is a snappy performer on the track. Perfect blips and downshifts every time without even thinking about, which still leaves lots of other things to focus on. The DCT-type transmissions are in a whole other league though. If I ever ditch my Z, it will most likely be for a DCT car of some kind.
|
I think I'm doing things backwards from you, RCZ. I went from my Z to an STi. :driving:
Make sure you keep us updated on your trip to pick up your M3. Sounds like a blast! Oh and this 'I'm only doing minor mods' thing? We're well past April Fool's Day buddy! Next you'll be trying to sell us the Brooklyn Bridge! :bowrofl::bowrofl: |
Ah, Raul! One of the first people to start modding their Zs... ah I remember the days of JWTs placed carefully on the backdrop of beautiful floral bedding... to be young again!
Good luck with your sale and the new ride, man. :tup: |

And the delivery option sounds awesome dude - $4200? That sounds crazy. How much to ship it back to the states when you're done, or is that part of the package also? And why is it so much cheaper to take European delivery? |
Quote:
European Delivery - Overview - BMW North America Quote:
|
Yup, the price of shipping is already factored into the price of the car even after the discount. So you don't pay extra to ship it back after driving it there. You just get the discount! Also, Lufthansa gives you buy-one-get-one-free airline ticket to Munich to pick up the car, so you can bring a friend and split flight cost. They have several dropoff locations throughout europe, so you don't have to drive back to munich at the end of your trip.
As to why it is cheaper, I am not 100% on this yet, but I would assume you are avoiding some kind of new car export tax since you arent shipping out a new car, but a used one. AAAAnd another kicker. You can choose to have it shipped to North Carolina BMW performance center and you can go pick it up there. They pay one night hotel, days food and they let you drive a similarly equipped M3 at their test track all day with a Pro instructor..all for free. Of course then you have to figure out how to get your car home after that. In my case, a nice drive down the coastline from NC to Miami. (You can also choose to have it shipped directly to your dealer). |
Oh man... That is amazing. WANT... So Jealous. :)

I think I'm going to be good about this one Ben, It is a much much bigger monthly payment than what I have now and the new M3 is coming out in 2013 as a 2014 model so I will keep my car relatively stock and easy to sell. If the rumors are true, its getting a triturbo V6 and less weight! The first turbo is electronic...kinda like an SC for the super low end response. Quote:

I know my next car is going to be some sort of Eurotrash... just not sure if it will be an ///M or AMG... or Porsche. I would love to take delivery over there. |
God that European delivery option sounds amazing. BMW takes care of their customers really well (and I would hope so for the money you fork out for one of their cars!)
Sadly, my experiences with my Audi have cooled me to getting any European car again anytime soon. It's just not in me right now; maybe when I get older and I'll just want a car that I can relax and drive about, while being able to afford the egregious maintenance costs, I'll go get a BMW. Until then, I get to throw my WRX around :rofl2: |
Here's the answer to why its cheaper for anyone who was wondering. I was completely wrong.
Why is BMW European Delivery Cheaper than US Delivery? Phelan, BMW covers all maintenance, brake pads, rotors, oil, etc. for 4 years/50k miles. It will be cheaper to maintain than my Z assuming I don't do something stupid...in that case insurance would cover it. |
