[ken1137]

Test drove one the other day. It is definitely not an M, nor near a pristine e36 M3, nor close to my (heavily modified ) former 135. I would have to modify it once parts become available, thus increasing the price by $10-15k from list @$47K. The fake exhaust/engine sound is humorous at best, but that's where we are all headed. I would recommend buying a 1M or wait for an M2, or buy a low mileage 135 w/ an N54 engine and mod the crap out of it. That being said, it is still a nice car but not one I want in a bad way.
