Saw some go-cart with a loud exhaust on rt9 near Price Chopper.

fuck that thing. :tongue

It was cloudy, so im not 100%. But it was nasty looking.

such a sweet looking car

ehhhhh not for me anymore really. my next car will probably be an e39.

540!!!

yeah… buddy of mine just picked up a 540i m sport… love the 6 speed.

I fear BMW maintenance. They are wicked nice cars though, still 16-18K for a decent one.

maintaining the v8’s is a little much, plus the usual shimmy’s and shakes, but all in all, every bimmer i’ve owned has been reliable and easy to work on. the parts really aren’t as bad as you’d expect though.

the dealer will kill you as always, but if your like me and do your own work, it isn’t really an issue.

the e39 540/ m5 is basically the bread and butter for the shop working on them. they’re owners typically have money, and there is a great deal to be made wrenching on them.

edit: 16- 18k is a hell of a lot of money. i can pick up something nice for under 10. the 540 my buddy just got was 7k with only 110k miles. my e34 was only 3k, my e36, 5k, etc…

i want 6th purely for highways

I’d get an Audi RS6 sedan before I got a 540 or another similar German car.

540 FTW

With my 6th gear, I’m still at 3k at around 75mph.

in 5th mine goes 80 at 3k

at 80 im at 1900rpms’’

I win.

I still get better mpg than you

Just saw a really clean red Integra on New Scotland. Black turn signals, lowered and sitting on 17" FN01RC’s

Same here but 4th for me.

4th, 75 = 2.5k…so 80 is probably closer to 3k.

im still faster then you.

In some aspects, yes.
