Interesting, thanks for sharing... I wonder if you'd feel the same if your other car was the upcoming M2....

If he sells the Supra, you could always make an offer on it

The FR-S will still be my daily, but I have wanted for extra space a few times, and I have a soft spot for Bavarian machinery.

Is the 335 a 4 door or 2? If it is a 2 door I'd say sell it, you have 2 cars for the same exact purpose, only one is newer, cheaper to run, and better to look at.

It's a 4 door.. Wanted a more practical car when I got it.. It's very comfortable for long trips and is a relaxed cruiser.. I got the manual so I wouldn't get bored driving it in town.. But since I have owned the FRS.. It doesn't see much use anymore.. The FRS is too much fun to leave parked..

I had a 99 E36 M3 for 13 years before this one. It was still running great when I let it go... Great machine!
The FRS may not be as fast or as smooth in its power delivery.. But being 500 lbs lighter makes up for it in other ways.. !
The FRS is the performance bargain of a lifetime.. It may not run with the biggest baddest dogs out there.. But it's more fun and very easy to own..
These are the good ole days!

Man, I almost totally forgot about this Forum until I got a Happy Birthday message yesterday. Figured everyone would appreciate what I gave myself as a present - detail job on my almost 2-year-old FR-S:

I've owned many performance cars and the FR-S/BR-Z is definitely a rare commodity. Plus, you gotta love that depreciation - I had a dealer offer me $22,000 to buy it from me. I got it for $24,500. Crazy.

I sold a sweet FFR Cobra replica to fund my FR-S.
Living in thunderstorm alley, and also the brutal summer temps we get, I've been very happy with the decision.

I miss my 135i for the torque/power and how much quieter it was to drive on the highway and more comfortable for longer journeys but otherwise my BRZ is more fun.

Miata next for me.

How is your car faring underneath? Mine is approaching the 2 year mark, and I have meticulously cared for it, never driven in snow, rain only a handful of times. Garage kept, constantly washed and waxed. Stored in the winter. Highway driven only twice. Armor -alled exterior plastic and rubbers, etc.

Even so, there are some pretty nasty chips that I can notice in the front bumper, paint chipping on the under body rails. Slight suspension surface rust.
