Woke up to find the only coffee in the house was a bag of year old beans. Tastes like dirt.

The M6 is epic. The cost is painful when the M5 keeps up.

Im guessing I would be happy with a 3 seires, but honestly dont know. 

 

Don't think I can stomach another Honda though. I have tried to ride the ignorance is bliss train for a long time now, but think my ticket has ran out. lol

Honda is only at 260k now though so will be another 50-100k before a new ride most likely.

My biggest issue with switching flavors of cars is maintenance. Cant beat the reliability of a Honda, but thats where the fun ends. Have had 4 German cars and hated everyone by the time I ditched them due to high maintenance. (Audi and VW) That said I shagged cars for an Audi dealer and loved driving them. Either way I have a while before I need a new whip so have time to decide. 

 

Whats a guy to do?

The inline 6 from BMW has won a billion or so awards.

Pretty trustworthy. The E46 M3 is about the most reliable modern car ever.

You can tune it through the sky also. Cheep parts.

It's the German mustang.

Thanks for the recommendation Matt. The 2000-2006 E46 model looks like a great place to start test driving.  Didn't realize the I-6 made so much power.

Turbo daily cars are in the 600-800 HP range.

I love that car. For me it's just a bit too small and I can't deal with a tuner car at this point.

A twin turbo V8 is what defines the M6 Mikey. Mucho power hombre!

I'm beyond impressed with the twin power V8.

Barely any turbo lag.

Just beast mode, and my doesn't have the extra fancy constant pressure design from the M.

And reverse flow is just mind boggling. It is so smart, but looks soo weird.

You nailed it on the head Matt. I am on the fence about having a tuner for a DD as I don't want the headache of a modified car. That said the urge to go fast is a FUN itch to scratch!!!!!

 

The E46 claims 330hp and 260 ft lbs with a curb weight of under 3500. Not bad for stock.

I think I missed you were suggesting adding a turbo the the E46. My bad, its early and my friday. 

 

Are they reliable with the turbo added or does it open up a can of worms?

More reliable than almost anything. BMW uses the same basic design in all the new twin turbo M3, M4, 335, 535, etc etc.
