>>29032125cool gt car for the enthusiastIt's very nice. The only thing I dislike are split rear pipes and the brakes. They put 4 pot brakes on these, yet 6 pot on the e82 135i's. Seems like they intentionally cap the top non-m cars, but they didn't in previous generations.
>>29032428You're not out braking shit with those skinny ass hip hop wheels kek
>>29032331cool car, but its a cheap shitboxhow can you critize an engine when you have sub 200hp? and talk about overpriced and affordable when you drive a sub 5k shitbox?
>>29032655idk, these days miatas like that go for 4-5 grand if its running.
>objectively great modern car>/o/ tries to shit all over it do you even like cars or are you just into brand wars?
>>29032323If being boring to drive means lighter, faster, and turns better, then yes.
>>29032431>B58 > S55Legendary cope

Doesn't mean it's a good idea
>>29033869Compact and short wheelbase = funThat’s all I care about
>>29033872Time to party
>muh pigfatlooks fine to me
>>29033875USG
>>29033869It's less than 1500kg, most certainly not pigfatThe only modern rwd cars lighter than that are the MX5/GR86Servicing costs are actually cheap its a 10 year old car and the aftermarket is massive and exceeds the quality of OEM Reliability is bulletproof except for the cooling system but that only becomes an issue around 80k miles, it's just coolant lines it's really nothing
>>29033895alpine a110 sub 1100kg
>>29033926>Euro only>no manual
>>29033926Unicorn desu just like a lotus

It's not even mcdonalds it's multi-link./o/ is 90% poorfag flyover bumpkins what do you expect.
>>29034621?
>>29034627doesnt this technically turn it into a multi link?
>>29034663No, multilinks would have upper arms as well.
>people getting livid about the transmissionit's better than the manual in every way. BMW manuals were always shitty, notchy garbage and ruined their cars
>>29034918Yeah there's a reason the ZF8 is becoming the default swap for all variety of track and drift builds.
They world would be a better place if all manufacturers replaced their garbage trannies with the ZF8.
>>29034918>automatics are good broNah you're actually a ricer
>>29034918the manual in my m235i was fine. Clutch delay valve was retarded, but the shifting was fine.
>>29033876>heavier than a 4 door sedan (giulia)
>>29035474delusional
>>29032125>rattlecanned wheelsyou are a ricer sir
>>29035539lol those wheels cost more than your car retard
>>29035555>black wheels goodYou are a dark ricer
>>29032125Every single one of these is automatic
>>29035560thank god. imagine falling for the bmw 6speed meme
>>29035561They don't make 6 speeds lol
>>29033876>>29035500stop posting fake numbers and comparing a lighter manual 240i vs a heavier automatic giulia. A manual m240i is more like 3500lbs / 1587-1596kg depending on region. Meanwhile a manual giulia QV starts at 1524kg. Automatic in either car adds about 40kg / 90lbs. A 4 cylinder giulia can be as light as 1374kg, while the 4 cylinder 230i is nearly 200kg heavier. The BMW has a steel chassis, the giulia has a more advanced chassis made from aluminum. It’s that shrimple.
>>29035615>fake numbersThose numbers are straight from the scale retard. your factory numbers are never accurate
>>29035708> straight from the scalepost scale
>>29036352let me drive to my local track real quick
>>29035560They along with the M140i were sold with manual as standard. The ZF8 was a 10k optional.
>>29032125>automaticgay, homosexual, fruity, faggy, zesty, sweet as a sugarplum, down low, pederast, manlover, this is a gay car for fannies, hairdressers, socialites and influencers
>>29036603ZF8 mogs whatever sloppy tractor box you have
>>29036612Don't care, the 8 in ZF8 stands for the number of penises you suck per week, you homosexual faggot gay boy
>>29034918Not true, they only truly stopped giving a shit about the quality of their manuals after the 8HP dropped. Mercedes is the one with a long tradition of shitty manuals.
>>29034918>it's better than the manual in every wayif you're a homosexual
>>29034598so if youre an oldfart you should have quite some cash saved so why are you looking at an M lite like a poorfag zoomer who only cares about straight line dick measuring
>>29036612>it's not automatic it's freaking zf8!!!!Lol what a fuckin ricer.
Got into one at the dealership once. It felt like being inside a sardine can, no space at all. I'm 6 feet 1 btw.
I don't feel like starting a new thread so I'll ask here. What's the difference between e46 compact and the regular models? I'm looking for a fun daily under 3000e and with engines that are 2l or less (god I hate the government). I'm mostly interested in the 318ti
