My uncle is getting soft.

I'd be all over this if I didn't have a line on some lightly used Q3+ takeoffs.

As long as they are taller than the person they are stabbing.

That would probably be one of my favorite things to do besides all the bike stuff if I were in his shoes LOL!

We don't hate you because of your wheelies. We hate you because you are short.

Jim is intelligent enough to know what I was getting at.

Muscle weights more than fat.

Just a little UTT UHHHHHHGGGG

He needs to get past that, dude is a motoamerica racer. Gotta take advantage of that as long as he can .

I don't hate all stunta's. I like the ones that keep that shit off public roads. I hate the dbags that do 20mph wheelies on the highway with a 60mph speed limit with the rest of his fucktard buddies block the rest of the 5 lanes of traffic so they all can marvel on how dumb their buddy is. I hate the guys that go searching for cops just to wheelie in front of them to try and get internet famous. It's the dudes that attack another dude with his family in a landrover and then wonder why they are all of a sudden getting run over with said landrover. I hate the guys that go around cities with unregistered/stolen/off road vehicles and quads that go "stuntin" around city streets not caring about other people on the road. That is what most of us hate.

Pretty sure bikes other than an h2 could put a spanking on a mclaren too.

You sat next to an asian, congratulations.

Watched both last night. Good stuff.

All you need to know right there in one video.

There are plenty of front yards. Life is what you make it.

F that, the guy should bring the macchiato to you for you to sip while you watch the install.

Still in the motorcycle gear sales field or are we talking complete change? Mike, I'm sad to see you go, but I love to watch you leave. Good luck in whatever your doing. Your passion for helping us find the right gear for an amazing deal will be missed for sure. TJ has some big shoes to fill.

Did gdawg get that model's number? She was totes looking at his butt.

Pics of how it's on now? The rear-set's Italian too? That makes sense.

I personally will never buy a Porsche without a turbo unless its the new Cayman-S. Or an old school air-cooled. (But the only ones of those I would be interested in are far out of my price range.) Miata's are fun, if you have a man-gina. Really though, they are good bang for buck, but it never satisfied any of my itches. Severely under powered.

You'll sell that faster than anything you've owned. There's nothing fun about that car. Nothing. Unless you find a ditz girl that only cares about seeing 4 rings of chrome.

There is a lot to these bmw’s lol. ?

I'll give you another quick run-down of the aforementioned models with some of the things you are looking for. My general statement about zero rust and nice interior, you get what you pay for. E36 M3: Fun to drive in stock form. Not a lot of power but handles very well and has enough to dump the clutch and get slidewayz whenever. Driver oriented, not many electronic aides. Fairly reliable as long as it has been maintained. Coolant systems aging are a common problem, lots of cracked and broken plastic reservoirs. It's a "common" maintenance thing is to replace some of the cooling system components that have aged. If you find an enthusiast that is selling, this probably was already done, but I would ask/ pay attention to that if you go see the car. Finding a nice e36 M3 interior can be challenging as the vader sport seats in good condition can hike up the value of the car. Worn bolsters are a common thing (like any car with semi aggressive side bolsters.) You'll find a lot of worn seats looking for an e36 M3, mint interiors usually bring a premium for these cars. I've seen them go from as low as 4k and as high as 15k+ depending on exterior/ interior color combo and condition. E39 M5: Fun to drive in stock form, especially with a muffler delete (which will not drone, I owned one and within 24 hours had a shop chop off my mufflers and put straight pipes in, I still had resonators and if you ask anyone on the m5 boards or anyone that heard my car, it sounds fucking awesome. (Its one of the most common mods) And daily driving with no drone is fucking awesome. Drivers car, two buttons, sport mode on or off, and tcs on or off. It only comes in 6spd manual. This car for how large it is, behaves very well when sideways. I took mine up to 165 with 2 other people in the car and it still had some to go. I had the muffler delete and a tune that removed the limiter. Coolant system like the e36 should be overhauled. Mine was done shortly before I bought it. Rod bearings in the early 2000's were a larger issue than in 2001-2003. Stay away from 2000's M5. Mine was a 2001 and was great. Black-stone analysis is a great idea with these cars as it will warn you about the rod bearings before they become an issue. Vanos can sometimes be an issue as well. That's another one of those "fix it before it becomes an issue". Depending on miles, you may need a clutch, which are cheap. Labor is labor for that if you don't do it yourself. Again, you get what you pay for in terms of interior. These cars price depending on the interior/exterior color combo and condition. These seem to have higher price hikes depending on the color combo. For example, Alpine white was a rare exterior color, so any Alpine white on any interior color will be "worth" more than lets say jet black on black. There are also 2 packages, extended leather and standard. I'd go extended leather or you might as well buy a 540. Extended leather is nice, hand stitched leather dash and a bunch of other stuff. Really sets off the interior. Low mileage e39 M5's will bring a premium. Depending on condition these are going for $8-$45k. Check out Enthusiast Auto in Cincinnati for some of the best condition'd used bmw's ever. BUT YOU WILL PAY ENTHUSIAST AUTO PRICES. Which are retarded, but they have some of the best low milage e39's anywhere. But you are going to pay $30k+ for a 2001-2003 BMW lol. E46 M3: Fun to drive in stock form. Comes in 6spd or smg. The SMG's need beat on every once in a while or the SMG pump will fail prematurely. SMG pump is a common maintenance item regardless. Same 2 buttons as the e39 M5. It's still a drivers car. Same thing about the coolant system. Rod bearings are a thing to keep an eye on. These only come in coupes. Have various trim levels and packages. You'll find these anywhere from $8-$25k. E46 ZHP: Fun to drive in stock form. Doesnt quite have all the umph of the e46 m3 but you can get this with 2 or 4 doors. They still look good. Come with various interior packages and exterior color combos. Coolant system. The gearing is good (like in most performance bmw's) so the lack of power when compared to the m3 isnt so noticeable. You'll find these from $7-$20k depending on miles and condition. E60 M5: Probably the most expensive to own on the list. A lot of it has to do with the fact it a v10. More spark plugs to change, etc. Again, smg pump. Vanos. Cooling system. Has tcs off and on as well as sport mode. Comes in SMG or 6spd. Interior/exterior color combo's dont change the pricing as much as the e39's. You can find these anywhere from $10-$30k depending on miles and condition. The sound these make, make up for all the extra monies you spend/ spent, almost. E90 M3: Fun to drive in stock form. Come in smg or 6spd. SMG pump. Cooling system. Sound it makes is fantastic. Gotta love German V8's. Color combo can sometimes come into play. Comes in various trim levels and packages. These have "held" value fairly well. You can find em for $12k-$30k depending on miles and condition. Obviously I personally wouldn't buy any of these vehicles on the low end of the price range unless you are ok with putting some more money into the car to make it reliable for you. Pricing also depends on how much maintenance the vehicle has had recently and being able to track historical maintenance is always a bonus.

I will say I am a BMW guy, so there is bias here. But I've had lots of experience with German cars, both owned and friend-owned, and worked on them a lot. (Specifically the 2.7T, 1.8T motors from Audi and the S50/S52 motors from the e36 M3's and the S62 motor from the E39 M5.) The bang for buck and maintenance costs are in my experience lower than Audi or Merc. With that said, German is German, so don't expect Ford or Honda maintenance costs. I've personally never dabbled in Audi or Merc but my friends have, and lets just say they all went back to BMW's. As long as you take care of them, they will treat you right. The guy I sold my e39 M5 to in Mentor is/was selling his E46 M3 because he's DDing the M5. E36 M3 (may not have enough straight line go for you coming from a bike, car is still fun to drive.) E39 M5. (You can haul the kids and haul ass. German v8's are intoxicating.) E46 M3 (Metallic exhaust note, less seating room.) E46 ZHP (Basically the 4 door e46 m3 that bmw never made.) E60 M5 (More in maintenance costs, but German v10 sounds amazing.) E90 M3 (Again, German v8 and comes in a coupe or a sedan.) Stay away from the audi's the 2.7Ts (aka b5 s4) those can be money pits. The 1.8T's arent quick or fun at all unless you mod them, and then they become not so reliable. Stay away from Mercedes. AMG's can be fun but on average you'll dump more money into a Merc than a bmw. I wont even respond to the G37 (slow) or the TT comment (Unless it's a new TTRS). Tony, you are a smart consumer so I know I don't need to tell you to do a PPI at a 3rd party dealer on whatever you plan on buying. If the current owner or dealer isn't willing to do a PPI, then I'd move on.
