its nice man, im 99% set on gettin that within the next week. not having to worry about my car breaking day after day after day\> (not sayin that the bimmer will). I’m gonna be a poor ass college kid for the next 5 years, I’d never be able to afford an m3. That and theres no good low mileage ones around here. all I’m gonna do to this is lower it, put some wheels on it, and if they ever make one of those sick arc intakes for my car I’ll probably get one but that says I have to “re-route the ac lines” ---

I have essentially the same car minus the lsd. I’m pretty much in the same situation as you im guessing. Poor college kid driving all day from work, school and my apartment. When looking for a car I pretty much concluded the rsx as the best medium in every category (handeling, power, transmission, sex, mpg, maintenance and modability). It doesn’t outperform the rest in any one category but as a whole is an extremey solid car. Two years later i still enjoy/beat it everyday and it starts up like the day she was born. My only regret was i didnt get a white one lol. Buy white my friend, buy white. ---

The BMW will lose you less money on resale value because its already depreciated its biggest chunk. Maintenance will be more expensive dealer vs dealer, unless you do the work yourself, and insurance will absolutely assrape you at 17 w/ an E46 M3.

I don’t recall 100% what my 60ft was, I really want to say 2.2 for some reason. Wish I still had the slip. I was on bald BFG Gforce sports on stock DS1 wheels, which are a tick over 25 lbs, my current tires aren’t much better, but the wheels are only 18lbs, which I guess is equivalent to about a 70lb drop, that and I ran at the valley with a full interior/trunk/spare. My goal for my car is 13.5 with a similar trap speed, maybe a tick higher now.
