I can't find a RossionQ1 for less than 80 or so.

Oh well.

Not for me.... Yet.

Meeting in the AM night all.

I don't want to fix either of those bimmmers

I have spent hours and hours looking it up. They aren't so much more expensive to fix than domestic. 2.5K for a new clutch etc on the M5.

The M3 is nearly the most reliable vehicle made by BMW and the V8 is cheeper than the outgoing 6 to fix.

My car cost less than the clutch on the M5, so it's quite a bit more than any domestic.

 

The M3 has had a V8 since '08.

This could be easily modernized with some leather wrapping on the dash and a little glass in the console.

And this is sexy as it is:

Looks like a mid 90s eclipse GSI... Not sexy in the least IMO.

You've never seen one in person have you?

 

 

Yes. Not my cup od tea at all.,

You're crazy. Most domestic clutch jobs come in at under $700 The rack I did on that M3 cost the man $3K... and it was my service manager's best friend.

 

If you buy a Euro it costs a ton more to fix than a domestic or Asian... and yes, my current shop does a lot of Euro (particularly BMW and VW/Audi) so I know this for a fact.

And the V8 is not cheaper than the 6. WAY not.

Pre-95 I6 BM'ers were as cheap if not cheaper than domestics. From what I've seen Honda parts are as bad as BMW...but of course I am excluding M's and other exotic germanic cars

Speaking of bad interiors. Sucks too, because as a temporary solution until a car I want comes available this could make a great second vehicle for towing and such.

When I called a shop, the cost of the outgoing v6 was more than the V8.

I was shocked about that too. Hence why I called.

Maybe. Anyway, if that motor blew up it would be an awesome time to upgrade.

You'd think ford would borrow designers from rover or Aston to fix their shitty interiors.

They have no connections to either anymore, and have the best interiors of any of the domestics.

Not hard if you pay someone to do it.
