LS2 all the way. Leave the 2004 GTOs alone. The 05-06 cars have a much better motor, revised front bumper, hood scoops, dual exhaust, and different rear bumper. One of my all time faves the LS2 GTO, I have a very soft spot for it.

I was not that impressed with the ls2 gto. Seemed a tad mushy to me.

My sister just got her Volt today and sent me pictures.
Kinda ugly, imo.

I'm looking at the black on black, 6 speed and it's going for 42,998. Most they'd drop it is $42,000...maybe $41,500 and then there's 13% tax on it so you're looking at $47,000 total.Giant Robot said:
The car has only 4,000 kms as it's been a demo and warranty until July 2012.
Scheduled to test drive a 335i tomorrow morning. I'm leaning towards a 335 over the S4 simply due to the higher amount of incentives available. The S4 may be a slightly better car, but the deals are much sweeter on the outgoing E90 335i sedans (really don't like what I've seen of the new 3 series look)

I've seen two of those cars so far here in Florida. One was owned by FPL, I think.ascii42 said:
I know FPL owns a Leaf, I've seen that running around, too.

What year and clicks on the 335i? How much money?h1nch said:

The ugliness is literally on purpose.weekend_warrior said:
It's just like Prius's. If it wasn't intentionally ugly enough to be seen from hundreds of feet away, other hipsters wouldn't be able to tell from that distance that you care enough about the environment to pay $35,000. It's a huge selling point. (No, really it is.)

2011 335i. Incentives are a $1305 credit, $750 dealer holdback, and an owner loyalty discount for anyone who's owned a BMW after 2005 (either $1000, or an extra point off the finance rate). BMWFS is also doing 2.9% over 60 months.
After driving the 335i, I definitely agree that the S4 is the faster car, but overall I think I'm going to probably go with the 335i. I like the exterior looks better, and while the interior design is cooler in the S4, the 335 has less cheap plastic, and I prefer the seats and leather feel of the 335. Not to mention, I was actually impressed with the iDrive's repsonsiveness and 8.8 inch display.
BMW is offering a limited edition 'performance package' as a port installed option which includes some trim options and ups the horsepower to 320hp with what I'm guessing is a chip tune.
Its looking like I'll be pursuing a 335i.
Side note: My friend tagged along and test drove a 335d. I was really impressed with it. Were I in the market for a diesel car, I'd probably end up grabbing one of these.

Good to hear man and yes, I'm the guy looking for a diesel. 
Might have a deal in place for a 2009 335d with 5000 kms on it. It will be black on black.
They had a "safari green" on tan but I just don't like that colour combo. Sales guy was REALLY trying to push it on me with a super deal but I wouldn't budge.

The last diesel I rode in was an A3 TDI which wasn't bad, but you definitely knew you were driving a diesel. The 335d was shockingly quick, and the engine growl was fantastic.
I would agree that the black interior is the best color. I really dislike their tan trim. The oyster/black combo is pretty stunning with the right exterior color, but you can't go wrong with black.
Anyway, good luck in your search!

It would be pretty cool and silly if you could customize icons or something on the display in hybrid/electrics to put the flux capacitor in there.

The 335d does have 425 lbs/torque which can be tuned to 525-550. :lol What colour is "oyster" exactly?h1nch said:
How's your search going?
Epic Tales of Penis said:
Oyster is the very light colored leather (whiter than tan, but not fully white) contrasted with black door and dash accents. Undoubtedly more difficult to clean, but stunning nonetheless.
I've already been told by several dealers in the state that there's nothing out there matching my specs, so I'd have to order one from the factory.
So regardless of whether I go S4 or 335i, I'm going to be waiting up to 90 days :-/

Wow that oyster colour does look pretty sick but I can also see how you're saying it would be hard to maintain.h1nch said:Oyster is the very light colored leather (whiter than tan, but not fully white) contrasted with black door and dash accents.

Sucks about your dilemma. What's your next move/plan?

LOL! I know that very same car you just bought. They got it, literally, a week ago in their inventory. I stopped by yesterday and saw it sitting there. Who sold it to you? Conrad or Danny?
How much did they budge on the price from the original 35K they wanted? What I like about them is that the guys at Bayside are a pretty good bunch, no pushy assholes.

:lol Which one are you ordering though?h1nch said:
Epic Tales of Penis said:
The 335i...probably. I told the Audi dealership to send me a quote, but based on all the data I've seen from Edmunds to Zag, the price will likely be close to MSRP.
Plus I think the 335i looks better. The Audi had more punch, but I'm hoping the Performance package helps to mitigate that.

Sold my 95 M3 to a fellow BMW-insaneofile, and went and test drove that e46 m3.
DAT S54.
E46 is a more refined e36 but with a proper M motor. That car fucking moves, and none of those little turbos either.
The only thing I didn't like was the reduced road feel compared to the e36 m3.
Waiting on bank to call me back about the loan.

I drove a European E36 M3 3.2 once. Holy shit it made the US version insignificant. One of the best BMW's I've ever driven. I agree that there is some disconnect on the E46 M3's. Just feels like a bloated pig to me. It screams though.

Giant Robot said:
What made the changes between the European and American E36 M3? The motor is the same in displacement, but how is there a 90HP discrepancy? Is the car intentionally limited through hardware (restrictive exhaust, intake manifold) or is it software based (throttle openings, ECU mapping, AFR, timing, etc.)?
I'm probably going to research this right now, but in case someone knows the answer before me...sound off. Always hated how shitted on the US E36 M3 was, BMW really did a disservice to us.
AlphaSnake
...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Wow...that is so fucking dumb. They neutered the car for the American market by removing ITBs, using an ancient VANOS design, and using an outdated cylinder head design. That's ridiculous.

Even with all that I still love my E36 M3. It is not the fastest, but the actual feel of driving it is incredible. It is just amazing to fling around a twisty road.

Hard to say Alpha. Not really sure.AlphaSnake said:
P.S. How would this value look in US dollars to you?
AlphaSnake

Epic Tales of Penis said:
A little expensive in US dollars. I suggest going to AutoTrader.com and comparing American results - they'll probably be in the low/mid-30s for this car, which would imply its Canadian worth is correct at low 40s.
Take a look at BMW's Canadian site to see what the car's MSRP is new today then factor in depreciation and age.

Ya. I remember seeing a 2011 335d at a BMW dealership two weeks going for $49,999 with 12,000 kms on it.AlphaSnake said:
Same packages as this one.
Warranty is up in July 2012 on this one as well.
