I love the 1 Series BMW, but after dumping a ton of money into a BMW 10+ years ago I quickly realized that they were not practical for daily driving unless you lease a new one every 3 years that is fully under warranty.

Look forward to seeing your future mods. I came from a more powerful car as well, but I am actually pretty happy with the power in the BRZ. Yes, it could definitely be faster, but 90% of the time the power is more than enough.
Thanks! Yea there was a "BMW Tax" on pretty much all the mods I got, lol. But to be honest, the maintenance on the motor was manageable. Just routine stuff mostly... Expensive stuff though, lol.
