I agree, that Bimmers are not all that, however they are very nice vehicles and in some cases very fast. I also agree that with some tuning the R/T can/will be a very good sleeper. But I would be cautious about picking too many fights with BMW drivers that are willing to race since Bimmers are also very easily modified using JB3, Dinan, etc.

I have only done visual mods so far because I wanted to make sure it was paid for (which it is as of this month) prior to doing anything. I'm still not sure if I want to do something with this car or step up to the new M3 coupe that will be coming out probably late next year. It is my understanding that it is going from a NA V-8 to a twin scroll turbo straight 6. It is reported to be putting out about 470 HP stock, so I think there will be a lot more that can be done once it gets the turbo.

modded vs stock is possibly the worst comparison... you end up hearing one everyone go back and forth with, "well if xxx car had these mods, it would smoke xxx car" . that conversation can go on ALL DAY LONG...

It isnt much of a secret if I'm posting about my cars in a public forum..

Funny you should mention that... every time I park my car I end up walking back to a Hyundia Accent because it so closely resembles my bmw, I get frustrated because I mistaken my car for a Hyundai accent ALL the time.

I mean really dude?

Edit: Since you thought my passion for bmw was "secret", I also like mazda's too

+1 Ultimately these are silly arguments. In the end you take your car body and bolt it on top of a top fueler...........
