Yes! This is why I did not buy an Audi. When I had my previous Jetta in for work I asked the guys at the shop about A4 and A6s. They told me about all the problems, high prices of parts and recommended I buy Japanese if I wanted something reliable. An honest repair shop! (shocked) ;)...

My kills include a '89 Ford Escort and a new Ford Diesel truck. (rofl) Plus other cars that were not really trying to race. In the BMW, totally different story! (thumb) Cool avatar protegemp52000 Terence Stamp is the man.

With a mix of highway and city driving and running the A/C only 24 MPG. Still better than our other cars though.

Every 30K, every 50K if you use synthetic.

I think the latest is that they WILL bring the A3 to the US. BMW will not offer the 1 here. (sad2)

Cool. Nice car, love the color! I was driving the M Coupe, not the P5. Do you know the Miata club guys? Good group of people!

I may have seen your MSP around Tuttle. Were you on Hayden Run last night around 8:00?

I am also looking to improve the brakes. You recommend the Hawk pads over the other brands? (I have a friend who swears by them for BMWs).

The Orange MSP is hot! Looks even better in person.

Tint will look differently based upon the light and angle of the car. Get the tint done at a reputable place and it should look great for the life of the car. Here is mine, 18% rear and 50% front (to still be legal here). In bright sunlight, the color difference is more noticable.

I see Yellow P5s all the time. I saw 3 others yesterday. Yellow has become a popular color for many cars these days.

The stock WRX is quick off the line, but not impressive on the freeway. It is faster than the P5 on the freeway. On the plus side, the P5 should be more reliable than the WRX. I prefer the interior of the Mazda as well.

Good job. (yippy) Probably a 2.slow model.

Speaking of turbos, who out here has F/I on their P5? Care to share your dyno and 1/4 times? :D

elfhearse, I am Renee M Coupe on bimmerforums, don't post much on Roadfly. Florian also has a P5 and S54 M Coupe. (cool) I wanted something reliable and affordable for a 2nd car. Dog crate fits in the back too. Yes, I have a thing for the hatchback look. :cool: No shots together yet...

Interesting lists here! Batmang, I also had a yellow CRX SI. Very reliable and great on gas. '02 P5 (current) '99 BMW M Coupe (current) '90 Jetta GLI 16V (beater for the Corrado and BMW) '87 Prelude SI (beater for the Corrado) '93 VW Corrado '88 CRX SI '84 CRX 1.5 '80 Datsun 210

I bought mine last month for just under $10K with 45K. No sunroof or ABS, on the original tires, but has leather and is in great shape. I noticed the pricing on Ebay seemed high. I have seen some with salvaged titles trying to get $9K. (wow) Just keep looking, they pop up all the time.

Most shops will match the Tire Rack price. (Mounting, balancing, disposal and valve stems extra). If you are looking for Toyos, I found Proxes 4 for $68 each at Edge Racing. Cheapest price for these tires I have found so far. (Tire Rack does not sell them). Toyo Proxes 4

The 1 series will probably not come to the US. They would have an unique place in the market being RWD. I was hoping it would come, I like bimmers.

I have those locking valve stem covers and they are great. Can't beat the price. My $20 valve stem covers on my other car were stolen at an autocross of all places. (rant) I think they were some kids on bikes who rode through. They got some from other cars as well.
