I was looking into the BMW 3-series, well, BMW in general and I have a headache trying to figure out what the naming system is. What a mess. But I've gathered that I'd likely want a 335i or a 135i if I went with one of those series. Or a M3. Can't look at 4-series because too $$$.

Any BMW enthusiast confirm? @Lessen @Ricky_Blayz
Hey Coach, a close friend of mine has a 2005 E46 M3, and I had the privilege to drive it on the road and a few times at AutoX events. The car is great and comfortable as a daily driver, and the performance/$$$ value almost can't be beat. It's gearing and handling abilities far surpass expectations. I have seen them in the mid-upper teens $$$-wise with 50-60k miles on them. He has had his for 8years now, and the only expense he ever complained about was the valvetrain tune up. He was having it done every 2 years, and even he said that was probably being overly meticulous. I would have one if I could afford it, and this is coming from a Camaro guy. Definately consider one.
Also, on the note of the BMW owner stereotype, my recommendation is to sign up for a BMW club hosted event. There is a big difference between people who "own" BMW's and people who "enjoy/race" BMW. As I said, even with my car, I was welcomed into the club, and they were some very knowledged and fun people to be around. Lastly, the huge club network built around the brand. Very big community. Good luck on your venture.

Thanks @llNovall. I have gone to a BMW autocross before. We took the Volvo ChumpCar. :) Needless to say, I didn't place well compared to them.
 
It's kind of disappointing when this type of tournaments happen but they never include my country in them. I guess if snail makes a team, I would like to apply and be in whatever region but since there are no rules & regulations published yet... Don't know if someone from regions not listed can participate. :confused:
http://www.projectcarsesports.com/2016-nvidia-challenger-series.html you were looking at the wrong series.This one seems to be global. Looks more like a Snail contest then a PD contest
 

As of this post, here is the current list of the ButtKicker Challenge IV picks. If you are a finalist, please read the instructions and terms and conditions of the contest that I have sent to you. Once you are authorized to make your numbers selections, click the 'Reply' button below and then add your GTP Username next to any numbers that are still available. Be sure that you don't make more picks than the number of picks you have earned. Once you're done making your picks, you need to delete the text above the ButtKicker logo (it looks like this: [qu0te="username, post: 1234567, member: 123456"]). After you've deleted that, hit the 'Post Reply' button down below. Please be sure that you are replying to the most current list before making your picks. Good luck! :cheers:

I've been looking around for E46 330 BMWs to use as a track car for 2017.
Unless my Audi magically loses 600lbs, that's the direction I'm heading in.

I think You know as well as anyone just how capable those cars are. From chassis to gear box and engine. "German levels" of reliability

BMW's are pure sports cars at Heart:mischievous:

Everytime I've been lucky enough to ride in one, my breath has been taken away.:yuck:👍👍:eek:
 
Huhuu @TomMang_68 , so glad you got your # :cool:
