I think HP will stay mid 450ish but FI means TQ will go from 300 to 450, off the hook. Each M3 marked an extraordinary leap in technology.

base, I don't want a 50lb glass over my head. and embarrassing to admit I don't use stereo much. I just drive and listen to the motor. I'm a wannabe audiophile with a musical tube system at home. Cars with all that plastic and glass is acoustically challenged to produce good staging. I listen to music on the train/bus or podcasts with a set of Grado cans.

you're one of those - but hey, we need you to buy the new cars!! ;) I'm all good with buying used sportscars, saves thousands, if not tens of thousands.... My 911 was $42K ish when I bought it, list price was $88K.... my 335xi was $35K when I bought it, list price was $58K... holla to the savings.

Smart choice. I can't wait for the day I'm out of this car, though I'll probably end up dropping several more grand into it before I'm out :(

This is the strangest post I've seen in a while. If you don't like your car, I have 2 questions:

Why don't you sell it?
Why would you sink several grand into it if you don't like it?

Confused.... :iono:

Off topic, So I did a little search and it seems that with stg1/2 software, 6MT clutch begins to slip. DSG seems to be handle increased HP/TQ better than 6MT? Am I on the right track?

Perhaps off topic, but since my manual GTI was totalled I am going to replace it with dsg. I enjoyed the manual but the clutch just never felt right - hard to find the sweet spot in first or second, loooooooooong pedal travel, hard to shift when cold. And the dsg is well-documented to accelerate faster. FWIW my girlfriend's mini has a much better manual transmission imo. But her interior is a million times worse. I digress...

Saw a 2012 STI Sedan parked next to me at the apartment. It was dark grey and honestly, I loved it. Pure sex. I would get one and swap the trunk!

Gas mileage FTL though. :thumbdown:
