We get taxed heavy here... the base model e93 was already over 100k

I would love a 993, but my old car infactuation is still with E30s currently. I finally got my $500 garage find running last weekend, and I ordered $400 worth of parts this week to hopefully get it reliably back on the road.

Ah, cool! I just don't love those old Bimmers like I do the Porsches. I need a higher-paying career path, a house, and a 993.

Don't we all. What I really need right now is a house with a bigger garage.

I dunno if people have managed to hack the DME or get a standalone to work, but the 3.4 and 3.8 both have a 77.5mm stroke, and if you could get the 3.4 to rev a bit higher like the new GT3 you'd be at 400hp considering how the base 991 has what 350hp peak? I like how they have 7800rpm rev limits, but what's really fun is seeing the tach go past the 8 Building the engine slightly to accomplish this might even be cheaper than finding a 3.8L engine to throw in.

Actually, wrt engine management, if you could get your hands on a GT3 ECU that might do the trick.

I have a deposit in for the M2, so I really hope it comes true. I am second on the dealer's list. So I hope it comes true and is limited production like the 1.

I bet it's going to be relatively high volume, unless they're too close in price to the M3/4 or too much more expensive than the M235 which i hear is also a really nice car.

I love that dealerships are taking deposits for a car that BMW hasn't come close to confirming yet, haha. It won't be limited production like the 1M because the 2 series just started life unlike the 1 series which was ending its life when the 1M was thrown together with 135i and M3 pieces.

I was thinking face palm. But you said it better. Might as well go drop a deposit on that Turbo BRZ.

There have been a lot of leaks from BMW employees. Either way the m2 is rumored to release in 16 so that will be around the same time as when the 1 released relative to the cycle. Either way, I can let a little $ sit on a hold list to put me ahead. The guys taking delivery of i8's are all pretty happy they got their names on the lists early as well.

At least you'll never forget where you park it!

I will probably throw mine on the Dupont Registry in a few months and go for the slow sale. I like it, but I moved downtown and never drive it anymore!
