I'm sure the upcoming 1 series with the new 2.0T will be a hoot to drive, but god damn, it is ugly.



I'll save my ~$9k and go with an FR-S.



128i with the M packadge. That picture you found is ugly lol. I'd also rather go with the FR-S. But if you're going to be spending in the 30's already is why I mentioned the 128i.

As I mentioned before, I'm not interested in any other car. It's simply a matter of getting the stuff I want with this car for as cheaply as possible. The BRZ is the better deal but it doesn't meet my styling criteria and I don't prefer the suspension setup and it will be much harder to come by.
I gotcha. I plan on trying to get a stock stereo for the FR-S and then upgrading to something with a link to my phone. Which will be much better than any stock nav system and about 1/4th the cost overall.
