I'm putting a call into my dealer. They got quite a few cars (8 M4s, 4 M3s) coming this summer, but I just don't know the specs. I get the feeling that they are all DCT, but who knows. I know for sure that they aren't all sold. I don't know how you feel about shipping a car across the country though.

Btw, I took once again the brave option, and didn't tell about this to the husband dearest. No way he actually realizes what I ordered in the first place, so if a porsche shows up, it's not like he's going to know the difference. I'm thinking I should council others in the matters of marriage. |

Did you see the part I added to my post after you had already started your reply? Why not try to track down a suitable F80 on a dealer's lot? Your post is indeed on topic for this forum - thank you for that. By the way, was your plan to try to import the US spec car back to your home country? Or are you going to sell it and take a huge loss? It seems to me that a lease with the plan to put it on swap-a-lease when you're ready to leave would actually be one of the best alternatives... |

Apparently I have been doing it wrong by not creating the topic. You just gave me a new way to piss you off before your coffee, but I promise I'll try once a day else where too, the lesson given was well delivered. I'm going to take the car with me, that's why this is so tricky. I don't know if you have driven automatics in the snow, but that's just hell. I'm a control freak, speed comes second. The loss of money would be considerable by any means, so I'm not going to calculate everything this time around, I use math for every other thing already, this is just for fun and for the hell of it. |

And I did forget it was an M4 you had ordered not an M3. But yeah, at this point, I'd take whatever comes closest to your specs. I have a feeling there will be more 6MT AY M4s to choose from than M3s anyway |

What about renting something and keeping your M3 order? There gotta be place in Seattle that rent out high performance luxury cars.

The S4/S5 rotate nicely in turns with the torque vectoring diff - it's a lot of fun actually. You just need to drive it right... Anyway, there is for sure a handling difference in turns, but I don't see why it would make a difference unless you are on a race track or drifting - not the kind of driving you would be doing on public roads.

... And apparently done. There is a small change still of miracles, but as of now, I'm starting to look for seriously old porsches. I hate the new ones more than the old. Fucking great.

Yeah, I'm going to see them too in the evening. the car has to be fun, so that would mark that box. My mechanical skills could use the training Lotus offers too.
It just hit me, that in the worst case scenario, I have driven that Audi for no reason for months. Great, lovely even. Last edited by Lups; 05-29-2014 at 03:57 PM.. |
