We keep talking about overloading the clutch/engine etc ... I thought overloading referred to the amount of carrying load capacity as in how much weight you put in the car.

I actually kinda like that green with the black accents on the bumper, mirrors and the unpainted roof. My favorite color on the E92 is Alpine White though.

Now, I will agree with you on there. It's not entry level in that respect. Certainly not the first car I'd give a teenager who's into motorsports that's for sure.
